Yeah that’s a crazy stat. You’ll not see that again.

And still never got capped for England

Unbelievable

Some player 🤔

Bloody hell, any pens in that?

Class

Robins Lane 👍🏿 went there myself roughly around the same time as you by the sounds of it. Although I knew Schmeichel lived next door to him. Peters wife was a right miserable cow though, remember it well.

Just making stuff up for.likes. Let me guess, Sir Alex arrived in a Delorean from the future and told you to get in to help him prevent United becoming Banter FC after the Fergie years. It would seem you failed your mission!

​@@apk4381awww someone sounds jealous

He's a nice bloke

Great story, I met him a few times, that doesn’t surprise me, a good man.

Top guy media have always been awful about him

Brilliant story, Bruce is a good man, too many idiots out there bad mouthing him.

He was amazing at blues KRO 💙

He was similar to Pallister. Decent. But not quite good enough to get those England caps. England just had better defenders.

​@@bobbypukes605pally was a better footballer.

​@@bobbypukes605Tne game was also moving on

Also after Robbo & Keane....the best Captain I've seen at United.

@@MrJayc1980 agreed. I would put Martin Buchan in there too, maybe before your time, but definitely none hold a candle to those three recently.

He was good at villa as well tbh

Couldn't agree more ,met him a few times . An absolute gentleman. Up the Tigers !!!

City’s best ever manager and such a lovely man. 2008 will never be forgotten. I owe this man the greatest footballing day of my life.

@@Needlemeetsgroove 2008? He didn't come until 2012....

Well said mate

The sad reality is however that he has been paid millions to be a professional football manager and has been continually abysmal at it. He might be a nice guy, but that doesn’t make him a competent manager. So I’ve no doubt if he had managed your club, that you’d have been equally as angry in his direction. Let’s just remember he has made millions from the game, from his pay offs after sackings. He doesn’t need to keep putting himself back into the firing line, yet he chooses too repeatedly.

@@jamesbothoms6009 oh I'm really not doubting that at all. Never said he was a great manager, I can see that's a job he probably shouldn't be in and Ur right, I deffo wouldn't want him anywhere my club. But on a human side, I've only ever seen the p*** being ripped out of him (and rightly so) and him retaliating in press conferences. Never seen THIS side of him. It's nice to see the other side of people sometimes.

How do you know hes been paid millions its your perception, good manager and great player Hes hands were tied to who he could buy@@jamesbothoms6009

Newcastle fans are pure clowns.

Can't stand the c**t

Also found in court to have discriminated against a cancer survivor don't forget that

@@stephenwilliams5575 lovely guy. No Bull Shit Mike Ashley.

And the bloke wonders why he gets abuse off Newcastle fans.

Hours listening to him crying about the treatment he received as a consequence of his own actions? Yeah sounds great.

He brought it up every time to remind Steve. Simon just let it go

​@@dman5404false hair false tan .

I bet you Brucey used to say to St Maximum before every game, "Come on, son, bit of magic today"

wish i got to witness it in real time

Most of them penalties

@@kevinmerry1838 Headers actually. Plenty of pens aswell.... but he was a CB ffs. Incredible.

​@kevinmerry1838 how many ?

Those were fucking great days. Players you could genuinely like.

@@kevinmerry1838penalties don’t count as goals anymore no?

In his final season you mean when he left in October and it only picked up with your blood money in January.

@@joecurran2811 Fair enough, I'll take it back. He probably should've left after we lost to Sheffield United the season before.

@@joecurran2811 You mean oil money. Nobody pays the saudis for blood.

@@joecurran2811 Saudi money is not blood koney must be confused with Chinese money which is blood.

@@joecurran2811 who do you support little buddy

I remember. He scored in the 2nd leg 😂😂😂

I was at the game. The atmosphere in the ground was bloody amazing.

I really don't like Man United but Bruce really was an excellent player.and comes across a good man

Can win trophies with 3 or 4 players like that.

needs to stop picking his noes on camera tho

he was shocking at his last few clubs but is stillwaiting for the next call .How WBA could have appointed him is beyond me

Even Wigan?

He was a success at Hull City

Mercenary like you know footballers or managers that work for free 🤡

@@alandunne2728 Mercenary as in no loyalty.

The Steve Bruce era I feel was a culminating period that persisted due to some unforeseen circumstances and as a consequence of the Mike Ashley era being in its death throes. The fans not being in stadiums saved Bruce a hell of a lot of blushes. He only got the job because literally no one else wanted to work under Ashley anymore... certainly no one worth a damn and he had to be bought out from a league 1 outfit to get him such was the desperation of Ashley to get someone to do the job and gave him tremendous terms to convince Bruce to come. Then you have to understand what was going on with the long protracted takeover, the media didn't want the takeover to happen so how they portrayed the Ashley regime was revised as "not that bad" and it was all "deluded Geordies" that were the problem. Couple that with the most amazing lucky streak for Steve Bruce I've ever seen in the history of sport to the point we're even his supporters were recommending he buy a lottery ticket that somehow kept us from dropping out the league and just about mid table. That the media lapped up and weaponised against the fans who really had the right idea of where the club and Bruce were really at only to be told that Steve Bruce who never won anything as a manager was the equal of Rafa who's record stands up to the highest scrutiny put simply the media trying to outright gaslight an entire clubs support base with bullshit because it suited them to keep there from being a challenge to the established "top six"

Most people (especially media personalities) didn’t care about his managerial capabilities, just as long the nice fella persona was in tact… Obviously I’m not saying he is a terrible person, but when you’re a manager in a top flight league, the only thing that should matter is your skills as a coach/manager, not how much your peers in the world of football like you!?

That's the trouble with Newcastle fans you seem to forget your only a big club in Newcastle steve Bruce was at the level you were as a club

He gets unfair criticism sometimes

Protests outside the stadium for him as a landlord evicting a young family out of a home he didn’t maintain, went on holiday during a relegation scrap, picking fights with journalists, antagonising fans during lockdown. The nice guy ACT is a myth

Humble? A humble man can take criticism. Bruce is not showing that. Even making untrue claims about what he did in the job to make himself look better. Is that humble? Throwing players under the bus in post match interviews to protect his image. Is that humble? Everywhere he went he tried to portray himself as this great manager who was poorly treated by everyone, and everyone else was to blame for his failures. He never took any accountability. Is that humble? Can you show me just one interview where he, as the lowest winrate manager in PL history, ever admitted that he himself has messed up, needs to improve or need to do better? I'll wait.

With Paul Parker, Erwin , legend and Schmeichel

First premier league won instead of villa, wonder what might have happened the other way round. He played a big part in that

.cbs

Exactly. Bruce was a proper man as a defender, Maguire is a complete fanny!

then why is he not manager of man u

Maguire got us to a semi final and final yet he’s rubbish?? I watched him live during the euros he was a beast absolutely dominated the game at the back. Yes he’s fallen away but the way he’s been treated is sickening. A bit like how Man Utd treated Ronaldo

He keeps doing this. Nobody agrees with the online abuse he suffered. But guess what. Social media is full of it. It is a part of society that we have created. The weakest, nastiest, lowliest people now have an open forum to get at people who they'd have no courage to confront face to face. Win lose or draw Newcastle's fan forums is always a pit of trolls from all clubs. I'm tired of Brucie keep using our name and dragging us through the mud to get a job. He needs to move on. He blamed the dieticians for lack of fitness and training etc. That was his responsibility. The book lies with him and no one else. Almost three quarters of the team Eddie inherited were his buys as well.

His record was no worse than Benitez yet you never directed a torrent of abuse at him week in and week out.

You havent a clue. Move on.

@@mrdeafa25 Bruce attacked peole physically. What happened at West Brom?

@@mrdeafa25 Yeah, and, hey, Ole got second place so he must be on a par with Mourinho by your logic.

Almost won the FA Cup

Yea that sums up it perfectly. Completely agree with you!

That's 4 words......

I noticed this once and can never unhear it. Every. Single. Interview.

Yes, Palace is about his level.

He is very humble

100% right mate

He may be humble but he wasn't good enough as a manager for Newcastle

Lacked the necessary yard of pace for international level.

Talks about situations live, is challenged daily and is very informed. I just challenged your vacuous, uninformed opinion.

Simon Courage in your convictions Jordan

Not withstanding that whether or not you got a dog in the fight it will just end up being dollars for donuts because necessity is the mother of invention@@mrtomas0990

But you are literally on his podcast trying to belittle him?! I bet he's not arsed enough to comment on your podcast is he!!

Hiya Kong, shocking manager, Bruceball got sacked in every job the useless get was in

You already have a Bruce now, it's maguire, Bruce in today's game would be average like maguire

@@MH-vp7lfBrucey was a warrior and would have died for United. He put his head where other players wouldn’t put their feet! Maguire wouldn’t do that.

@@paulguise698Hi Paul, fair enough Brucey wasn’t a great manager. But I loved him as a player. A bit like Gary Neville, not a great player but gave everything and worked his balls off and gave absolutely everything he could. How many man United players now could you say that about?

Probably because when he made those (many) mistakes, he blamed everyone else except himself. He was awful and took uninspiring to a new level.

Most of the "abuse" he suffered was during lockdown aka twitter idiots. Hardly ever heard anything in the actual stadium

You got manipulated into thinking you were an underdog with the team you had

@@JordiBoy_ success?????,thought we were talking about a championship standard manager as you stated in your original point??

A gentleman🤣 A gentleman that turned up at training 2-3 times a week in the Prem, a gentleman that blamed the fans for him being out of depth. Some gentleman he is, then to run and cry to the same media sources he refused to speak with during management. Pathetic.

"Honest"

Think your delusional he brought in trippier isak pope botman burn Chris wood guamires for 100s of million, let alone the ones this season you just live to hate

But but he's a top bloke 😂

Willock signed because of Bruce. Willock had his best scoring run under Bruce. Schar was never fit under Bruce. ASM played his best football under Bruce. Howe was doing similar to Bruce until the January transfer window, and that's when things massively improved.

@@Mrleetoon Hi Steve, nice to meet your burner account.

​@@vantheman1238я с тобой согласен,этот сопляк не знает о чём говорит.

Any man that has managed over a thousand games can’t be that bad

where did top lad proper clobber come from 🤣🤣

He would constantly give players days off training here at Newcastle while he took days off. Hell of a footballer back in the day and seems like a man who wears his heart on his sleeve but he isn't suitable as a premier league manager especially considering he never took the blame on his shoulders and deflected the blame on the players. Like you said, we still play with most of the players from back then and the difference is night and day!

he wasn't even picking schar, he stuck with lascelles. Almiron was used as a 2nd right back - to sum up just how negative his football was, jonjo shelvey was the top scorer in his first season with 6 league goals, almiron had 4 - the defenders scored 10 between them & we averaged one per game. Considering bruce was a efender, the irony is that over his 2 seasons (using the same players) our defense were (average) 12 goals a season worse under bruce than under rafa - even when wilson scored 12 in 20/21, the 6 extra goals made no difference because we let in 4 more

Going to Portugal for vacation during a relegation battle mid season is hardly having it tough.

Fair assessment

You all talk like you all managed at premier League levels.Shut up you silly people
