yeah - proper funny that


I am unsure why you feel the need or feel that you are entitled to take the moral high ground,

 

Some of the things you do on here are far from great.

 

People in glass houses....

Probably didn’t realise how much of a mad club we are before he got through the door. Just like Pulis, Monk didn’t. 

He must have been the only person in the world that didn't know we were in the poo especially with ffp then

pretty sure it's 33% for Moore

 

You're right, the results I looked through omitted the EFL trophy Mansfield win. He has 10 wins from 30 overall, as you said 33% 

 

His League record for us is only 29% though. 

 

Pretty poor either way it's viewed I suppose.

He's managed 11 clubs if you include wigan twice and walked out on 7 of them for other jobs 

 

Managed 3 lots of clubs and their biggest rivals 

 Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday 

Aston Villa and Birmingham City 

Sunderland (as a life long NUFC Fan) and Newcastle United 

 

Doing one set of rivals is bad enough but doing 3 and with one of them being the rivals of your boyhood club  makes him a snake in my eyes with no loyalty what so ever to any club or fanbase 

 

Other opinion may differs 

I agree.   I know Newcastle are "his" club, but his treatment of SWFC was disgraceful. No integrity AT ALL.  And he knew the fans despised him before he went, yet Wednesday fans adored him. As you say he has a long history of this behaviour.

No - it's a total red herring

 

Steve Bruce's situation here was very very different to most other managers (Garry Monk too)

Then how do clubs choose a manager when they only have stats to go on in the first place. If managerial stats are a red herring?...

Most of our previous managers achieved their career average here...

Pulis didn't..nowhere near.

Monk was only 5% under so was jos.

I didn't say managerial stats - I said win ratio

They're a complete red herring


Managers do NOT get appointed based on their win ratios

Don’t get the hate for Bruce.

 

Left for a better job. If he had stayed he would have been managing a club with a points deduction and a club not paying staff. He’s been around the game long enough to see what was coming at Wednesday.

 

Got out while he could and went to manage a bigger club. Fair play to him. 

Yup, don’t disagree with this - loyalty works both ways, why should he stay loyal to us when a better offer comes along, knowing that DC could sack him at a moments notice if he suddenly felt like it ?

Personally his departure left a sour taste for me.

 

Mainly because we were so accomadating and let him go watch cricket before taking up job. For all his numerous fuckups that was a really decent gesture by Chansiri.

 

He managed us for a handful of games then walks out on the eve of the season leaving us in the lurch.

 

I think after chansiris gesture he could have shown a bit of loyalty back.

 

And the whole boyhood club thing... he turned down the Newcastle job twice and then managed Sunderland ffs. 

 

I know others don't agree but thats how I see it.
