He was on £300k a week though, right? That's £25m+ over the remainder of his contract.

Isn’t it more like £15 million?

Not that it still wasn't the best way out of the situation. What’s your thoughts on the whole Aubameyang saga this year @Backstop?

Really don't get what Raith are doing here. They're 4th in a 10-team league where all the teams above have games in hand. They've made a decision on one guy, a 32-yr old unrepentant rapist, that's cost them their sponsors, their women's team, many of their fans, some of their directors, their ball boys ffs and the goodwill of just about everybody in football. How is this likely to benefit them, short term or long?

Boing boing Brucey.

Clearly had his ear turned by Barcelona earlier in the year to act up and get his contract cancelled.

That or he's a bit of a dick and Arteta is following through on what he said when he took ont he job. Ozil was sent packing, Auba too.

Lined up nicely for getting fucked over by the new COVID regs too!

I lol'd. Poor @Soul

What a comedy club they've become though, more managers than Everton.

Ismael out - excellent
Bruce in - fuuuuuuuuucksake not again

Somehow this is the first time I’ve watched an Old Firm derby. Is it always this exciting?!

Reo Hatate is having a wild start to his Celtic career!

It could be worse...

Roy Keane is Sunderland’s No 1 choice for emotional return to management

Looking forward to the Netflix show about Sunderland's attempt to leave League Two.

Sat in the pub last night with my pal who’s a big baggies fan and had the joy of watching him be told that cabbage face could be heading to the Hawthorns. Incredible.

Bruce confirmed as the new West Brom manager.

Top bants.

Edited - trolling aside, Bruce might be unfashionable but he is a decent manager

The ever-brilliant Mark O’Brien once described Steve Bruce as ‘looking increasingly like a Beryl Cook painting’, which stuck me as very well observed.

I’ll continue going to the games and supporting the club.

More than can be said of 90% of the people on here…

Not sure even 10% go to games to be fair

Edited - trolling aside, Bruce might be unfashionable but he is a decent manager

Reported for trolling.

He didn't do too well last time he managed a Midlands giant in the Champo though.

Legacy fans

I think it’s a bizarre appointment given he is known for a boring defensive style of football and predominantly being a crisis manager. Albion are on a bad run, granted, but they are still sat in and around the play off spots with a decent squad.

I’m sure he will bolster the defence and they will become harder to beat but it usually goes hand in hand with a stifling lack of creativity going forward and few goals. That’s certainly what happened at the Villa after he ‘steadied the ship’. He essentially solidified them as mid table championship fodder but with a squad that should have been in the top 3/4. It was an incredible achievement.

He's a terrible manager.
Well terrible is harsh.
He's just not inspiring.

His books however.

mane vs salah in the africa cup of nations final

they'll be marking each other too, hope they don't get to physical

Young Rooney vs Young Ronaldo all over again?

^^^ what @LeChef said. Bruce is a severely limited mid table manager. Plays the worst football imaginable. Though if you bet on 1-0 results you'll make a reasonable income.

Has anyone checked in with Pisti now Fat Frank is at Everton or is he 100% committed to Enfield nowadays?
