Mercenary - Yes. But what we are missing is the fact that Steve Bruce was offered the opportunity to manage his boyhood club. Why wouldn't he? He thought he could make a difference and is having a go. The fact that he doesn't have the skills is irrelevant (we knew that) he is having a bash, and I for one hope he wins every game from now till the end of the season. If I had all my badges and you offered me Sheff Wed or my true love Newcastle I'd put my whole heart into NUFC. His hands are totally tied. Let's see what happens in the transfer window............ but I'm not hopeful cos we all know where the problem lies.
