Happy to be proved otherwise Allardyce was absolutely despised. Nobody rated Souness apart from Gemmill. Maybe I've missed it, but I don't see much personal vitriol against Bruce, just recognition he is a very limited manager with little pedigree. Maybe some jibes about his drinking, which I would have thought you'd approve of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you probably know it’s not true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why people have no time for him. He’s just like Pardew in that respect. A dinosaur manager so happy to be here, he doesn’t give a shit about the constraints working for Ashley. Rafa energised the place because there was always a sense that he was challenging Ashley, demanding a minimum level of investment to meet his ambition to make us more competitive. As soon as Ashley showed his true colours, he walked. Bruce knows exactly what he’s gotten himself into. He’s here to keep us in the PL and nothing more - a manager happy to make up the numbers in this league because no other PL club would go anywhere near him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 That said, Moyes and Pearson were just hired so perhaps I’m giving the other PL club owners too much credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give him some credit he’s also taken the job because it’s managing his hometown club. It’s been a dream of his ever since he left United. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
