And yes, we’ve had decade after decade of unmitigated successes. Shame foreign boy CC took us so close to relegation twice to ruin that otherwise clear run of uninterrupted glory. Don't think he was referring to levels of success, rather that the new manager will be able to put his explanations of performances/ tactics more eloquently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Remember when 'Sir' Jack was manager and we signed Mirocevic, I could just imagine a conversation between Jack, Ante and TC. Geordie, Slavian and South Yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of managers don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it probably is a bit but thats many people from Sheffield isnt it? Most people know who Steve Bruce is and he will have come from a similar background from many people who come to games.

Sgt Wednesday Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't think the manager being British/English was that important, I am delighted with Bruce because he knows the league and will have contacts that will help us. The best bit of Bruce coming in is that he's had a number of successes at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Bruce's background, he has a very specific geographical connection with one of our previous managers, who, incidentally, also managed Sunderland as well.
