The Fish 8978 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I've no evidence for this, but I'd say it's a safe bet that in the last two years, Steve Bruce has been paid more than Eddie Howe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 9981 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 He's supposedly worth around £40 million, and I bet most of that came from his various payoffs over the years. Nice gig if you can get it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4833 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Surely no other club will touch him now. End of the road for Stevie. Having said that the press will probably but him up for the England job after the World Cup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38682 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Sure he said he was going to retire after us, maybe the pain of opening another offshore account for his payoff from WBA will tip him over the edge. Poor bloke, I’d say he must be beside himself , but in his case he actually is, the fucking wobble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that the press will probably but him up for the England job after the World Cup No championship will go for him, surely after that? He'll not go any further down because they wouldn't pay him enough if they wanted him in the first place. At least he had the press narrative of he's done a good job/ungrateful Geordies/PL club stability to bluff a foolish chairman but he hasn't got that now. Young Alex will have to make his own way now so him and dad will be buttering up all and sundry on behalf of junior to get on the ladder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ego won't allow him to go any further down the league even if any club had the money to throw away or the desire to employ a dinosaur like him (lower league clubs are more willing to give younger managers a chance anyway). The only hope he has of another job now is some championship club in a desperate situation wanting someone in short term and that is surely incredibly unlikely after his performance with West Brom. I expect to see him stinking up BT Sport's coverage shortly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1042 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think the term 'dinosaur' always flatters this cunt. Dinosaurs once had a period of dominance. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WBA have a large payput required in the case of his sacking they've only got themselves to blame. Appointing him was pathetically bad to begin with so it's probably yo be expected that they don't. It's hard to fathom that "professionals" in charge of such large budgets could make a choice that a few hours of googling could substantiate as foolish.... at least it would be hard to if we hadn't lived through the Mike Ashley era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually be quite honestly great comedy as it would show up how fundamentally lacking in footballing knowledge he is despite him making 10s of millions as a manager.

tinofbeans 86 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 wonder what they think of him, the west brom fans. i mean he's turned a team that would be good enough for the playoffs into a bottom 3 club. that really takes some doing.

Craig 6300 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 His arrogance post-match on Saturday was as evident as ever: Quote Late in the game disenfranchised Baggies fans made their thoughts on Bruce's position at the club known, with loud chants of 'Bruce out' and 'you don't know what you're doing' heard around The Hawthorns. After the match, Bruce defended his position following the persistent calls for his sacking. "I've been in this a long, long time. If you've been doing it for 1,000 games you'd like to think you know what you're doing," he told BBC Radio WM. "Because I hear 'you don't know what you're doing', does it mean I'm going to walk out? No is the answer. Whatever happens above me is for other people to decide, I will carry on until I know different - I'm determined to turn the club around." What an odious cunt. I feel relieved for the WBA fans tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30337 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Imagine making the money he’s made out of football and still being a proper cuntish landlord. I mean I don’t know how he can be arsed but then there’s the fact his houses aren’t fit for habitation. I think what bugs me the most is how lazy he is. Unwilling to learn / adapt / develop but also even graft. Then he complains about it all the time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4833 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Ive been listening to a lot of Undr The Cosh podcasts. None of his ex-players seem to have anything nice to say about him. Then again Danny Mills says Pardew is the best manager he has ever had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30337 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Someone I know who works at the ground even said he was a horrible arrogant bloke. This was pre-takeover when we’d just signed Joelinton so before everyone hated him. Someone was saying that at least he seemed like a nice bloke (going off his media luvvies and the rep he had). This lass piped up and said all the players were sound and very respectful to the staff but Bruce basically blanked everyone he considered to be beneath him. Unless there was some issue, then he spoke to you like you were shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew he wasn't deserving of severance pay so resigned before they sacked him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
