Steve Bruce: Why I Left Newcastle; How Sir Alex Managed Eric Cantona | Business of Sport Ep. 4

[@MVgaming627]

Bruce was excellent as a player, his 'Dolly and Daisy" partnership with Pally was formidable.

[@ryanchristophergavan80]

If you read Alex Ferguson’s autobiography, he says that his first team was built around Steve Bruce and then the second was set up around Rio Ferdinand. As a footballer, Bruce is very underrated.

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

your so right. i always wondered why he never got capped much for england, and he was defo a better player than people think. he was a footballer, who played at the back, did his job and helped the forwards get on with scoring the goals. nowadays its not so much footballers its athleteballers

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

got to love this man, and this podcast i could sit and ask ask him questions all day, so interesting hearing a man utd legend in this relaxed atmosphere, telling us how his journey began and everything so far. we all ould have loved to play professionally, captain man utd and others, managed teams and he comes across as just like the normal person u meet in a bookies, a bar or in the street.

[@AmbassadorsofSport]

Yet another brilliant interview!

[@eazyredz2051]

Remember growing up in Medway district... and seeing Bruce at Gillingham growing up at the Priestfield..

[@EwokJr_03]

As a Newcastle fan, Bruce wasnt given the best start and granted, his tactics and man management was left to desired. As a person he seems great and probably felt fortunate to be living the dream managing his boyhood club as a Lifelong Geordie. I wish him all the best 👍

[@4dfootball889]

When listening to this interview think would you listen to Bruce in the gym to motivate you or would you listen to him to fall asleep. That aside I think he's a good bloke. Great interview

[@johncook9548]

As a Newcastle fan one thing I love about Steve Bruce is nothing negative he has done throughout his whole career is his own fault, all you need to say about Bruce to know what type of person he is is, (Villa Birmingham) (Sunderland Newcastle) when money comes a calling

Here cause I saw a small clip on tik tok. Subscribed now. Thanks for this.

[@andrewchapman2738]

Thinks he did a decent job with Newcastle keeping them in the division - He had Shar, Willock, Joelinton, Saint Maximin, Wilson, Longstaff - Key players to finish top 4 - not just survive relegation!

[@smanvir94]

Had no idea how to tactically manage games or to try change ppl around etc

[@magpies77]

All players that improved under Howe, Bruce froze schar out

[@ToonVids23]

Erm they all improved after he left idiot

Bullshit

Advice listen to Bruce on 1.75x speed it makes it a better listen

I really hope Steve Bruce becomes ManU’s next manager.

[@TheBlackNAmberTV]

Best manager in our history 🐯🧡🖤

[@spooony2714]

Called Howe “the manager who got Bournemouth relegated” but apparently recommended him. Didn’t leave the club like a man and instead decided to squeeze whatever money he could out the club. There is a reason why very view fans of his former clubs have anything good to say about him.

[@gadaboutunited]

When Alan Shearer says firmly and unequivocally, 'No!', when asked if he regrets going to United, he's completely not believable. I am sure he was proud and an honoured to play for his boyhood club but also he could have won a huge amount with United and you know it rankles.

[@yanited1892]

He didn't give the Newcastle job up at all, he wanted to be sacked so he could be paid off the doylem and he didn't recommend Eddie Howe at all. What a narcissistic man he is. We would have been relegated if he kept in charge, he wasn't good enough and players were becoming unfit.

[@j_ames1010]

Propa delusional talks wet al the time he was owt of his depth

[@robthomas3968]

How do you know that? He did well keeping Newcastle up in the first season

[@yanited1892]

@@robthomas3968He literally said in that podcast he wanted the owners to remove him. He could have walked but he didn't. He wanted the payoff. Like I've said his final season he would have relegated us.

Our players were only training twice a week. I remember my final game of the ashley era was Southampton at home and they playedwith us and some how managed a 2-2 draw conceding a last minute pen

[@andrewharrison7767]

look up comments by danny rose, jonjo shelvey & callum wilson about the lack of squad fitness 8under bruce - it's why we were worst in the league for goals conceded in last 15 minutes

[@badofcheese]

A deluded narcissist. He got such an easy time from the fans at Newcastle yet the media spun a narrative of constant abuse. I can’t get my head around it. As a season ticket holder there was barely a murmur in St James’ after the innumerable awful performances and despite the fact it felt like he actively goaded the fans at times. He’s had far worse treatment at other clubs he’s managed. But he tapped into the bizarre, untrue media narrative to play the victim, sobbing in interviews over comments on social media that he apparently has no understanding of, all while his bank manager hired a dump truck to bring his NUFC payoff cash in. Then look what happened at his next job. The Baggies fans tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but it took a few months before they couldn’t wait to see the back of him. His press conferences at Newcastle were painful. He didn’t have to wage war against the ownership like Ashley did but he also didn’t have to be such a mouthpiece and constant defender of them. The way has conducted himself since he left Newcastle has made a lot of people who had some sympathy with him absolutely despise him. Players didn’t train and weren’t fit, there were no tactics and he had no idea to utilise some of the decent players that he had at his disposal. He called excellent pros like Ritchie and when he called him out on it, he tried to have a scrap with him. He’s a coward, a fraud, a bully, a charlatan and he plays the role of victim rather than looking at himself. He should be ashamed.

[@davidmarley9838]

'It was the China Man who sacked me'.....Classic Bruce 😂😂

[@tonesweir]

Had to laugh when he talked about Fergie's work ethic and how he took that with him into management, he must have ditched that when he got to Newcastle because he hardly had players in for training, he went on holiday at the drop of a hat certainly had no work ethic at that stage.

[@MrDavidht]

Easily our best ever manager at Hull City. Too generous towards the owner, who got mired in a bitter fight with the supporters when he tried to change the club name on a whim.

[@Oliver-zm2ho]

Brucies got a good ASMR voice

[@fatgeordie29]

The man seems like a nice bloke but is completely deluded. He had nothing to do with Howe.
