Steve Bruce - Schadenfreude

An article mainly for the other Wednesday fan on JA - Sloppy implementer of heroic ideas -

Have you seen this article in The Star, Sloppy? I'm no fan of the local rag, but this article is spot on. Boo hoo. Hard done to? Short memory.

Wow. Never had an article created just for me. I feel honoured.

But less about me. I've just had a read of the link you posted. I can't help but feel slightly amused by it all. Bruce definitely left us in the poo by leaving when he did. He was very well looked after by Chansiri and the fans at Hillsborough and I was genuinely gutted when he left. I definitely believed he was building something good.

I would never want anyone to suffer abuse and to hear that his family have also suffered is very sad. However, maybe you really do reap what you sow.

Hi Sloppy - pity there aren't more of us here. There used to be but they all left for Owlstalk etc.

No, I'm not one to abuse anyone but seems like he's got selective memory. Made me laugh when he kept saying "I'll not walk away", when he's done it to both Sheffield clubs . . . (and the £8m will come in handy).

The relegation to League One hasn't helped on here. I was made welcome on the Forest and Derby boards when we played them but didn't even get acknowledged for my valuable insight on the Bolton board and had one response on the Donny board.

I totally agree with you regarding Bruce. He certainly hasn't covered himself in glory. I suppose he can cover himself in 8 million pounds though now.

Booooooooooo

I gatecrash a lot of the other boards from time to time - as a token woman, and as "I know nothing about football" I usually get a warm welcome

You're always welcome on the City board Kitty.

The first £30k of which is tax free.

Thanks, I know that. I especially liked to drop in on the Wensdi Gossip articles by LEE1PEN (never saw much Wednesday gossip though )

He allegedly tried to get Wolves done for FFP whilst blowing £180m at Villa and still allegedly walked away with compo after failing to get them promoted.

Because he's the only person in the world to ever lose both parents before both reached the age of 100, a rule was created whereby you cannot criticise him.

So I won't.

Him managing Birmingham had nothing to do with Villa fans turning against him. Some of us knew his past history and it wasn't good reading. His time at Villa, Wednesday and Newcastle was fully in line with that history.

Luckily for Villa the new owners gave him a chance, didn't like what they saw, and moved him on.
