He says it’s the most difficult place to manage, but ask Kevin Keegan, Bobby Robson (RIP), Glenn Roeder (RIP), Chris Hughton, Rafa Benitez, Eddie Howe will all say differently. The bottom line is the managers who say it’s the hardest job are often the ones who blame everyone else apart from looking at themselves, and ultimately the bottom line is they just aren’t good enough. Allardyce, Bruce, McLaren, Carver, Pardew, Kinnear, Souness all managers we’ve had that would never get a job at the likes of Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal etc.

Steve Bruce telling absolute whoppas for nearly an hour lol. Does he not remember the interview when he found out Eddie was getting the job and he said Ugh that bloke that got Bournemouth relegated.

When Steve said about it being 46 years since he hadn’t had a pre season,that is mental,Great interviews as ever Sam & Nat keep ‘em coming 👏👏👍👍💥💥

Steve Bruce is lucky he’s had the career he’s had. He does the same at every club. Blames the owners, fans etc never himself.

Look how poor Joelinton, Murphy, Longstaff, Schar, Almirion etc. were under Bruce compared to how GOOD they have been under Howe. That's the difference, good managers improve players.. Not one player improved under Bruce!

2 absolute dinosaurs!

Danny Rose joined Bruce on loan from Spurs and he was astonshed at how little they trained - Pochettino had the Tottenham players in and working hard almost every day, whereas Bruce only did a couple of days a week. Compare Eddie Howe's regime and just look at the difference with many players who were there and underperforming. Howe said at his interview that the first thing he would do if given the job would be to get the team fit. For me, fitness is the achievable aspect of any team sports, then the quality of players you have to do it is second, not rocket science. Both Allardyce and Bruce have had their day and achieved things, but please just ride off into the sunset with your collective massive payouts for failure at your job. Ashley binned Allardyce andwith the 3.5 million he received he bought a villa in Spain and called it " Casa St. James ".

‘They have really improved the defence’ mentions Pope,Trips and Botman. No mention of Fabian Schar tho… the guy who couldn’t get a under Bruce. Blokes a whopper.

Remarkable, tough but the quality on offer will ensure some exciting evenings

Bruce got his bonus good game

So he told the Newcastle owners to get rid of him so he could get his 8 million payout

Talking credit for Eddy Howe haha

Frustrating the Bruce, Allerdyce, Dalgleish, Souness vendetta against the Newcastle United fanbase. They don't understand us. Dalgleish replaced Keegan, who was idolised. Dalgleish was given a chance but he replaced Ferdinand and Ginola with has-been players like Rush and Barnes. Souness replaced Sir Bobby and isolated players like Bellamy and Robert. Allerdyce can get a bit of a reprieve, he did bring in a lot of has-beens like Geremi, Cacapa. We didn't play exciting football on the pitch and we had mercenary players. Bruce replaced Benitez, again a manager who understood the fanbase and tried to change things. Bruce accepted the problems with the club. The only manager who was maybe unfairly treated by the fans was Pardew. Think he was maybe more a victim of the situation and the only public figure of the club at the time.

Always shifts the blame onto someone else, never his fault.

Stevie couldn't tell the truth even if his nuts were wired up to a car battery by a trainee army interrogator with tourettes

Thought I’d give it a listen which is hard as a Newcastle fan and 5mins and 30 secs in he’s already talking over people and can’t wait to speak. Getting some vivid flashbacks to the dark days. Didn’t think I could dislike a manager more than Steve McLaren but…

Brucey comes across as a real football man, I just can’t understand why he didn’t train the NUFC team like Eddie does. Why so many days off? All the fans ask is hard work, yet he and his team had too many days off!

I like Steve Bruce as a person and its a disgrace when Steve Bruce said he's glad his dead parents are not alive to witness the abuse.. He did not deserve the abuse. Death threats to his family.. Disgusting.

Cabbage 🥬🥬🥬

Brucey was so defensive and aggressive with the media when there was speculation about his job when the owners came in.. he certainly wasnt recommending eddie for the job when he put him down as the bloke who relegated bournemouth.

Is steve not a Sunderland fan 😂

Legend brucie

A complete disgrace to my football club

We recruited well yes but Howes greatest achievement is tge development of joelinton, miggy , longstaff ,schar and wilock . Who where dog shit when bruce was there. Are fitness levels where atrocious and the tactis where horrendously bad. Rafa was there before him tge fans loved him. It had nothing to do with him being Ashley's manger. It was cause he couldn't do the job. He seems like a lovely bloke and i wish him well. But the facts are he isnt cut out for top flight management. He went to west brom and look at the job he did there. Look at Howe he admits he dont crap at the end in Bournemouthand as a result took time to improve as a manger. Bruce blames everyone but himself. He could mange man city and fuck ut up there. Hes just not cut out for mangent at a decent level.

Steve Bruce may have been a compitant player and manager once but he came to Newcastle as a yes man for Ashley. Mike Ashley's concept for Newcastle United was a mid table premier league club that would earn him Prem money and TV rights, while he could take free national advertising for his discount sports shops, and sell every single player that recived a profitable offer while investing a minimal amount of his own money. He also instructed managers not to qualify for Europe because he would then have to pay for sports direct advertising around the stadium in European games, which he took for free instead of paying for that club asset. Newcastles Net Transfer spend over 10 years, after a decade of Mike Ashley, was just £10million. The only club in the league with a flat £0 investment from owners in 10 years. During all of the backlash from fans, Bruce actually came out and called the fans delusional for believing this club was capable of competeing at the top of the league, that we should be greatful just to be in the Prem..... He brought a lot of criticism on himself by towing the owners line.... Compare him to Keegans return, a manager with integrity, who saw what Ashley was doing to the club and refused to stand for it. Bruce had the worst start to the season in Newcastles history and almost got us relegated after having years to work with the squad and players. Eddie Howe came in and saved us, within a just few months had this same group of players that looked like a league 2 team under Bruce, playing like a solid premier league side. He took players like Joelinton from one of the biggest flop transfers in the league to one of the best midfield inforcers in the league. Im sure Bruce is a lovely guy, and Im sure he'd be a better manager with support and funding from owners who actually want to win something, but his showing at Newcastle was abysmil.

Does Sam look ok? I thought he was a little shaky with his head movements

The man that made us the unfittest team in the premier league, the geordie that managed Sunderland…Steve should be talking about Sunderland caus that is his club not Newcastle

Why don't they mention pennants name at the start of the pod ? Sounds ridiculous really

How many times does sam say "like u mean" 😂

Here's Bru8ce's TRUE comments on Eddie Howe: It is absolutely the biggest pile of s**** I have ever heard,” Bruce said amid speculation that his job was insecure. "Some of it needs to be more measured. I give respect. When I see polls, the next manager and the fella from Bournemouth (Howe), I find it disrespectful, I have to tell you.” Aiming a tirade at the journalist in question, Bruce raged: “Your paper was gunning for a manager that got a team relegated last year." He added: "I have a constant dialogue with the CEO and that hasn't changed since I walked through the door. Every day we want what is best for the club. Yes of course I make mistakes along the way.

These two dinosaurs who have lived a charmed live. They optltomise the poor journeymen of English football managers. They are also deluded.

Newcastle fans hating on Steve Bruce again not surprising. Both Sam and Steve have been successful, Unfortunately for them football has moved on especially on style.

41:00 ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mr Allardyce is a truly horrible man. He was a crook long before he started grabbing so greedily England had to sack him because of the embarrassment. West Ham. Agents. Playing time and contracts.

Name for the episode - Two dinosaurs one table

Steve Bruce wouldn't know the truth if it came up and punched him on the nose.

stealing a living springs to mind!

2 f whoppers. Old school. "How's the bacon did u say?"

Had to turn this off after 10 minutes, his elbows are making me feel sick

Great player Steve. Management is not his ball game.

At the time of the joe linton signing bruce said it was him who signed him- whether that was to show that he was the man making the decisions or to make out that he had the final say on who came into the club- he actually said hed made the decision on joe linton, probably to protect fat mikes rapidly declining reputation amongst the fan base- now he hasnt got fat mike telling him what to say he finally admits what we all knew anyway- joe linton was signed and Bruce had no say in it whatsoever. He was just another Ashley apologist and because of this aligned to his zero tactical nous and also being incapable of getting the best out of a decent squad he ultimately failed. Thats the truth and all Newcastle fans know it. Decent fella but an awful manaer at the top level.

2 gravy guzzlers

Embarrassing - he nearly ruined our football club. (Guess which club? And which person?)- and that the truth of this.

He called them two titans of English football? Based upon what ? ? ?

Bruce lying about recommending Eddie, i think we should ask Eddie or the owners and will easily conclude that he's lying as always.

Brucey - The Doner Kebabs and Cheesy Chips Years

As a SAFC fan , I'm still trying to figure out Bruce's tactics and formations when he was here....no chance of that????? At least Allardyce was more straight forward and did a decent job for us, then left for the England job! The rest is history.

Great insights Steve is a top guy

As usual bruce talking out his hole and also were not hard 2 manage he just can't manage

Nobody is daft enough to take you Brucey...your done pal

ooooh the old brucey ball days play backwards n defend 🤦🏼‍♂️

Bruce got away with murder the amount of clubs he ran. Sunderland fan and he was that bad at Sunderland, I was wanting Newcastle to keep him.

I don’t understand how you can’t regret now trying harder! That is a controllable! It’s lazy!

Can anyone tell me what kind of accent Bruce is trying to pull off. He tells more lies than Tom Pepper. A will guarantee this man will be taking at least one more pay off from some mug football club.

Steve Bruce has no loyalty to any club, doesn't matter how much help and support a club gives him,he will still crap all over them. Wouldn't trust him to manage in the Sunday league.

Forgot how deluded this guy was, He suggested Eddie Howe to the owners he says, But when eddies name was put to him by the media as someone who could come into replace him he was quoted as saying “Who the guy who got Bournemouth relegated” doesn’t sound like someone he would recommend, And to say Amanda asked how they could help him and he said they couldn’t and took himself out the picture is laughable , He says fans judge him unfairly but spouting this shit is the main reason. Almiron , Schar, Joelinton, Wilson, Murphy, All vital in what Newcastle have achieved last season, When things got tough he stated that the squad wasn’t a premier league standard squad , Literally tried to throw these players under the bus, Sorry man is a clown and should be nowhere near managing any team

The truth is he kept us in the PL until the takeover. With a championship squad. It was close in the end but it was all we could hope for.

destroy and exit masterclass 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

I’m still working out what kind of accent Steve Bruce has

People still giving steve bruce a platform to peddle his absolute whoppers. Newcastle owners "What can we do for you Steve?" Bruce - "gimme my 8 million pay off please!" 😂😂

Steve Bruce managed in Turkey? Which club?

Like ya mean. Like ya mean. Like ya mean.

Jurassic Park podcast.

Shut up Bruce , these gotta be the two most sacked managers ever

Sam only looks good on this table due to Bruce

Jesus, the two worst managers Newcastle have ever had in one place at one time. A pair of clowns who make Gordon Lee look like a tactical genius. Off to retirement with the pair of them, with all of the money that they got for ruining a whole bunch of teams. Goodbye and good riddance.

“Only as good as your strikers” eh, Bruce? Citeh won the Prem without one. Spurs couldn’t win a thing with Kane. Nonsense.

I thought dinosaurs were extinct?

What is another word for falsification? Steve Bruce

Geordies treated Bruce disgracefully

Suggested Eddie Howe 🤣 what a delinquent he is when he says ‘that bloke that go Bournemouth relegated’ sick of him playing the poor old man gimmick

He will retire when nobody gives him a job 😂

These 2 can't manage the modern squad. Their antiquated tactics always sink their ships

Bruce had no plan A or b or c. Totally devoid of any coaching idea

It's always hard to manage at newcastle when you're sh£t

Great video was nice to see Steve Bruce there, big Sam top man

Salty fans we have !! He’s telling you the truth and you’re still calling him a liar , he’s said since he’s left we’ve bought well and the club has spent well from top to bottom . Yes he’s not as good as Eddie Howe and neither were his staff ! And he admitted he’s at the end of the road when they asked what help they could give him !

He's not going to retire, why do that when he can do a few months work get the sack and walk away with million in bank 😅 worst manager in English football 😂😂😂

Two dinosaurs chatting garbage in a room

Some pathetic comments in there. These 2 are Vastly experienced but Bruce’s managerial career is finished

Two dinosaurs of the game stating obvious facts nothing in-depth just talking about the same old boring basics of the game, good recruitment=good signings yeah cheers lads no one would’ve guessed that one

2 absolute dinosaurs whos inadequacies are th3 sole reason for their demise as manages. Yet try and find every excuse to justify their shirt comings.

Bruce knows more about MAN U .. he knows nothing about Newcastle he would be good as MAN Us new boss to replace TEN HAG . His first job is giving everyone monday off

He wasn't the only negative left at the club was he, typical victim mindset,

Arsenal are on every agenda for every topic in football #coyg

He might have been a poor manager for the scumbags but he was the one that bought st maximan and Wilson who’s been there best players last season

Clowns

2 thieves agreeing.

It's a difficult place when YOU have no talent

Two of my least favorite West Brom managers in one convenient podcast.

It's not because it's impossible to retire the reason u are sitting on a pod cast and not training is because man City newcastle arsenal Liverpool spurs we don't need you what a guy tho haha be lucky to get a job for westdenton fc or Westerhope a signed him a signed um you no hahah thick heed 😅

Thoroughly enjoyed that 2 proper football men. Hope both are back in the game soon

Are people watching this crap?

Bruce running outta money again? This bloke has absolutely stole a living.

We should challenge Sam to try not say ‘like you mean’ in at least 10 minutes 🫣😂😂

Pennant was not that good, but these two think he was, that shows why they never won anything, they didn't know a true top player, they were only used to average players.

this is like watching 2 Championship players talking as if they were world cup winners lmao lmao, they were never top managwrs, as for making `more decisions than someone in business, complete bollox, their decisions are who shall I play, ehere shall I play them, what system should I play and should we try to buy him, simple.

what a combination of 3 nobody losers that win sod all and one that has no morals, Allardyce, Bruce and Hill, the latter being the morally wanting one.

Poor Steve Bruce always the victim always blaming everyone for his faults what Steve Bruce needs is to look into the mirror and blame his self for being the death of every single football club that he’s ever managed

Pair of pretenders who stole a liv ing from managing!
