'JUST SEEN FERNANDO ON HIS BIKE IN HILLSBROUGH PARK...HE SAID 'SOD GETTING ON THE COACH, MY LEG IS SORE AND JOS DOESNT CARE...I DONT WANT TO PLAY ON THE WING ANYWAY.'..MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WANT..I'M OFF TO SMASH THE BUS SHELTER UP'

On the playing side they can be just honest . Maybe they don't want to give social media any information they use as a stick to beat them with. Which sadly seems the case constantly now.

It's been a closed shop since DC has been here. No wonder there is non-stop speculation, stories, myths, ITK'ers and made up gossip all over social media. Worryingly these myths become truth if repeated often enough. It just creates a massive divide between club and fans

I remember saying in Carlos last season as we got more and more defensive and plodding that we looked like a Portuguese division 2 or 3 team as we passed it 10 times between our defence and midfield like we had all the time in the world. Carlos did try to adapt to the blood and thunder of the Championship but he didn't introduce the pace and power we needed to take us to the next level. Bruce is all about about pace and power but can he introduce the attacking flair. We are a bit of a failed experiment and basket case arnt we.

Jeez don't plant seeds like that..it might be true

Gets popcorn

If it's true DC will have played a blinder to get his audience on his side before his one man tour starts on Thursday

I'm sure if there was nothing in this Bruce would have come out and denied it by now.

He broke our hearts the day after my birthday in 1993. Hope he doesn't do it again

'Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. '

He had such a chance of being a cult hero being the odd character he is

mmmm toast
