The man deserved more respect for keeping them up in a Mike Ashley regime, but ultimately he was never going to be the person to manage a team of superstars going into the future.

Poor bloke looked a mess on Sunday, put out of his misery (and a big wad of cash).

Lampard coming in?
Not sure that's a good short term play.

They need a manager that can come in and steady the ship and steer them away from relegation using the current crop of players.

Allardyce or some idiot like that.

Then go for a different manager in the summer.

Fonseca is the new manager apparently, not quite sure what he'll do with that squad

They will get Conte and give him a big blank cheque to show they're not playing around.

That's good news for Utd seeing as the Glazers will have an eye out for him

Did a very similar job to the one they adored Benitez for. He hasn’t shown much loyalty in his managerial career mind you so hard to feel too sorry for him.

:lol: :nervous:

Good for Brucie. Get out of that circus now with a wheelbarrow full of filthy cash. Chill out, regroup and take on another PL/Championship managerial position when you're ready.

Gets an £8 million pay off right?

Assume it didn't take Bruce much to agree to that

Really sad statement from Bruce

Got a lot of shit but managed to keep them around mid table with such a shit squad. They obviously have bigger plans going forward but yeah he was treated like shit.

Nice pay off and retirement for Bruce at least.
