Your players were renowned for being unfit. You only trained 2 days per week. You received an 8 million pay out when sacked. Victim! 😂

"We lost Mitrovic and we lost the other one that went to Leicester". Doesn't even know Perez's name ffs 😂

Bruce has accomplished something very few in the game ever have - He is hated by both Newcastle AND Sunderland fans. Always the victim.

"I'm the victim" 😂😂

Many things to dislike about Bruce but the thing I really hated was the way he would always talk up the opposition and put our own team down. He created such a negative culture. “We will hope to nick a draw” before playing a newly promoted team at home. Get in the bin

We didn't have the players to press he claims - the stark contrast in the second half of 21/22 says otherwise; yes trippier, burfn & bruno arrived, but the biggest difference was that the playrs were regularly training under Eddie Howe; several players later stated publicly that Bruce had them unfit to play 90 minutes, conceding 9 goals after 60+ minutes in 8 games before he was sacked

He had the same midfield and forward players as Eddie in that season, so to say he did not have the players to play a high tempo attacking game is just not true. It just evidences the difference in quality between Bruce and Howe

While I do not condone the abuse he gets, Steve should take responsibility for his failings. He is simply not good enough to be a manager of a Premier League club.

i think we were the victim not bruce , he then went to west brom taking them from fight promotion to fighting relegation, he nearly destroyed west brom

Well, he didn't just fail at Newcastle. He failed everywhere bar his time at Hull. One thing about this man is that he never took accountability. He always found something or someone to blame.

Nothing personal to Bruce, after watching Newcastle for 40 years he produced the worse football I’ve seen at the club. Just look at the improvement of the players since he has left.

what a load of rubbish. yes he was at the club when the ownership was not great. but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't deserve the job when he was offered it and didn't do a single thing during his time at the club in terms of performances to prove that he did deserve it. We weren't hard to beat like he describes, were beaten countless ties by 3 or 4 goals with no reply. he was lucky the ownership was the way it was as he would have NEVER EVER got the job without it.

A great run club under Mike. And Bruce calls himself a Newcastle United fan.

Under Rafa, Newcastle were tough to beat. Bruce’s attitude stinks, he LOVES being the victim, absolutely loves it. A lot of his time at Newcastle there were no crowds because of lockdowns. There were rumours coming out from the club that he was giving the squad random days off through the week while he’d jet off on holiday ☀️ He lives in Surrey I believe and never moved back to the NE, even while managing Newcastle. Just like Mike Ashley, he wasn’t committed to getting the most out of the club and has turned into a fraud of a manager. Yet his mates in the media prop him up as a great guy and an unlucky manager 🤦🏻‍♂️

Steve Bruce couldn't manage a pudding if he had spoons for fingers!

The upteen millions of pounds he's made through being sacked is unreal. At least 20 million quid, I reckon.

"Loved the job and loved going to work." How come you hardly turned up then?? Fans were the victims mate

Mitrovic left months before Bruce took over

1000 games in management and he can’t land a job tells you how bad he is…..he’s a serial failure and every result was never his fault. All Bruce is after, is looking for another pay off

Going on holiday in Portugal mid-season when the team is sitting in the bottom 3 Sounds pretty nice for a "victim"

Good player, lovely fella. Without a doubt the worst manager Newcastle have ever had (and we’ve had a few stinkers ahem Steve McLaren. Never took responsibility for the team performances and is clearly ignorant to his own ineptitude. Going from Rafa to ex Sunderland manager was the biggest slap in the face I’ve ever had as a fan.

The King of compensation

Was an amazing time when steve bruce left.

Poor steve Bruce, he got paid millions for doing such a poor job, and now we should all appreciate his efforts? What a liar, he got caught telling lies on a regular basis, but that gets swept under the carpet by his mates in the media, and as for him saying he was dealt a bad hand with players, hes basically trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes again, because out of all the Newcastle managers, he was the one that actually got a decent amount for new players (around one hundred and twenty million) and made the team look pathetic. He played joelinton as a lone striker and ruined the kid, and if not for Eddie Howe he would of went down as our worst transfer ever. He lied saying he was the one that told Amanda Stavley to hire Eddie Howe when famously making fun of Howes appointment saying, "that bloke who took Bournemouth down".

Wish I could get dismissed, receive £8M for being a hopeless fuppet & then repeat the process at another job nearly a year later! Im sure Baggies fans will vouch he made a monumental hash of it at The Hawthorns.

Sheesh the Baron of Bacon is still gobbling off about us. Bruce was shite end of story. He’s milking this for as much as he can.

Imagine watching Man Utd in the 90s and thinking Steve Bruce would be a real strong character and then hearing this. He talks like he's this vulnerable person that was taken advantage of by Newcastle United. Get a hold of yourself Bruce

As a newcastle fan..Bruce is one of the biggest frauds in football..we went from rafa building the club..and ashley not giving hom money..to Bruce who had 140 million.. and would have got us relegated.. he was working 3 days a week...cant stand him..hos football was dire..and as a man he's horrible

Victim my backside took off back to Cheshire at the drop of a hat some victim 8 million pay off

At the time you had received the most financial backing in the history of Newcastle United Steve - just another example of you avoiding responsibility

The contrast between Bruce's strength as a player and weaknesses as a manager is curious.

He lost me when he claimed he couldn't play better football with the players he had... even though most of that squad are still there and playing better under EH🤔

No offence to Steve Bruce as a person, but as a manager he was appalling for NUFC - multiple players came out and spoke about the lack of training during his time, then Amanda coming out and stating that Bruce didn't want to work - his ethos around what a good manager is, is so twisted, he would rather be on the golf course.

It was a great run club but we didn’t have a lot of money to spend 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe if big Mike weren’t giving free sponsorship to SD we might have generated some cash to spend

the victim. walked away with 6 mil,( for nowt)

Bruce Ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yeah but he played 5 at the back and dropped fabian schar......

Well you know

What a wet lettuce. Everyone says he's a nice bloke, but I've never heard anything part from excuses and saying its someone else's fault all the time. TAKE SOME RESPONSABILITY!!!!

victim of his own self, more bothered about kebabs than footy.

Geordie fans are easy to please, just play good attacking football and they'll back you, Bruce played 5 at the back against a doomed Sheffield United team at home!

Difficult to beat? We lost 14 out of 25 games with you in charge, why doesn’t any host call him out on his nonsense, the man is an out and out fraud

oh my... i dont think i have ever read comments on any social media item that were practically 100% in agreement! Ususaly there would be some contrasting views but in this case it seems every Newcastle fan agrees that Bruce was terrible as Newcastle manager! It must have been a nightmare time for the fans..

He didn't have the team to play up and at em football? Pretty sure last season Eddie Howe had 8 or 9 of Bruce's team in his 11 most weeks. How does he explain Joelinton, Longstaff and Schar? Schar barely played under him and neither did Longstaff. The best managers find solutions and get the best out of players. The average ones look for excuses and don't look in the mirror.

His dream job was always MANU

Victim ?? The players who never flourished under his management were victims. Look at Joelinton for example. Victims - the fans for tolerating his very poor management skills Victims - us for listening to his pathetic excuses even now

we didn't have any money because Ashley let his company advertise for free, same with the ground renaming

Under Ashley when you were manager you had to pick a side. Rafael pi ked the fans, he was loved and sorely missed when he went. Bruce took the side of Ashley with the obvious consequences for his relationship with the fans. At least ghe fans and the owners are on the same page now when it comes to ambition.

Cant be a victim of a bad boss when you don't turn up to work lmao

How rich is Steve Bruce? As a football manager who always got sack & got paid compensation. What a career 😂😂😂😂😂

We didn't have a lot of money to spend because Mike Ashley couldn't / wouldn't increase the commercial revenues. It didn't grow at all in the entire time he was owner which has now left us massively behind our peers

33% Bruce fault 33% Ashley fault n co 33% the players

I wouldn't mind being a managerial victim if i get an 8 million pound payoff

Top 10 worst premier league managers ever

If he couldnt eveb motovate himself after the takeover to get in the training ground 5 days a week it says more about hie character than any ownership hes ever blamed

Don’t get me wrong Bruce as a player, one of thee best to play the game so question about it… but as a manager, by god he’s got to be one of the worst ever! But saying you’re a victim, get a grip man! You put yourself in that situation being a “yes man” to Cashley! Did nothing for Newcastle then almost killing West Brom who were a top 6 team in the championship when you took over, to a relegation battle! And I bet you were on a pretty penny too! So don’t cry wolf when you are the problem

Bruce at Newcastle, dyknow if I get the first bacon sandwich I can eat another 4 after that

Nice guy,poor manager.Deluded about Ashley who used the club as a personal piggy bank.

Gills FC legends, Bruce & Cascarino.. 👍🏻

Always the victim,,never looked inwards and never once analysis himself to see where he can improve, always someone else's fault. Every club he has managed, the players have complained about fitness issues and all the clubs are left in a worse state as a club on his last day than his first. (yes every, I am happy to provide links to sources)

Well you know😮cheesey chips and and extra portion of doner kebab, don’t forget the extra 🥬 cabbage😂😂😂

Brilliant player total opposite manager and was never going to be loved by toon fans for one MASSIVE REASON U MANAGED THE MACKEMS

A victim of being tactically inept 😂😂😂

His days off should be made public.

" didn't have a team ' ??!! Wtf man. Your the team manager yer spoon...make it a team

Still waiting for the gloves to be off

An absolute bluffer is the only way to describe this man. "We didn't have the players to play that way" the majority of players he had are still playing. He needs to grow a pair and take accountability that he's a shite manager. Just look what he did at west brom after Newcastle

You made your bed. You knew the crack

"Hows the bacon did u say?!" Deluded. HWTL

Comparing Newcastle to Bury and Stockport, just shows what a clueless man this is.

Sums up Bruce in a nutshell. It was never his fault. Same thing at Sunderland & Villa. THAT is why Newcastle fans couldn't stand him

Never Brucie to blame is it.

Every team this fool managed his win percentage rate was abysmal he is a dinosaur Ashley only hired him because he was low quality and was a soft touch

Steve 'yaknow' Bruce

Willie Cox? Surely not Cas...

Why are Talksport producing this terrible Clickbait title for Steve Bruce? What a terrible way to treat a guest and then invite a pile on, in the comments. Absolutely disgusting! Lowest of the low.

Victim at Villa aswell! Forget the fact your tactically inept!

Arthur Cox was on Keegans backroom team and Keegan signed Ginola.

Always the victim 🤣🤣. In 10 years i’ll still be saying what a depressing period that was with you as a ‘manager’.

Looking well Brucie 🐷

He was useless at villa hence the cabbage thrown at him 😂😂

Bruce was on the back foot straight away….appointed by Ashley and he was the Ex manager of the biggest club in the north east

Hows the bacon you said?

Unfit players 1 way to play got 8 million when you where sacked

How's the bacon?

The real victims are the lambs and chickens that went into all those kebabs brucie devoured around Newcastle.

Bruce is a grade A mackem W⚓️ him at fatshley match made in heaven

Howes the bacon did you say.

Victim of numerous payouts,life's tough.....

Steve Bruce...a complete waste of space and he is NOT a geordie!!

A perpetual victim.. ain’t you Greg… I mean Steve.

Whopper this bloke

Poor little victim with his millions

Brucey everybody’s mate. He is utterly clueless couldn’t even remember ayoze Perez’s name. Embarrassing

The cabbage back on the news. Can't he let go and move on?
