Bollox. I don't rate him at all and never have......

we had these same calls for him as our new manager when Hamilton was sacked and i was dead against him then.

What has he actually done?

He has only got Brum promoted. Brum came close to winning promotions several times under Trevor Francis but always f**ked it up. Bruce inherited what was one of the best squads in the first division.

He has kept Brum up yes, but he has had alot of money to throw at the situation and has signed some very good players but yet i can't recall him ever taking Brum anywhere near the top six, when you consider the players that they have a good manager should do.

He is now going to get them relegated, sure they have had injury problems but they still have good players, even the team that lost to Liverpool had quality in it.

Prior to going to Brum i beleive that loyal old Bruce walked out on Huddersfield, Wigan, Sheffield Utd and Palace.

Bruce is a disloyal man, who unless he has lots of money to throw at a team will do nothing.

Bearing in mind the shoestring that we will have to operate on if we don't win promotion next season we certainly don't need him.
