Wouldn't bet against Bruce pitching up at Cardiff.

:lol:

“I think it might be my last job. It has been very, very tough. To never really be wanted, to feel that people wanted me to fail & saying I would fail, that I was useless, a fat waste of space, a tactically inept cabbage head”.

Was always on the cards soon as the Saudis rocked up. Excuse me if I don't shed a tear over his sob story, don't get me wrong, it's not nice not being wanted but the way he goes on you'd swear he was destitute. Call it a day Bruce and go spend you money in marbella with huw big nose.

Has a Welsh Grandmother living in Cardiff?

He'd be leaving a full stadium for an empty one.
But in fairness they apparently have lovely concourses :lol:

You never know, if Bruce was given the enormous budget his successor will undoubtedly get, he may have done very well for them but he will never get the chance.

Apparently worth about £40m

Are you sure he's on an earner? As I believe the conversation with Mike, when the Saudis took over, was a bit like this.

Question from the new owner, "what if the manager is no good"?

Mikes reply, "he gets the chop".

New owner, "oh great, we won't have to pay him and redundancy money then".

 

[dickythorpe]

He deserves more respect.
I hope he enjoys his retirement. Cracking player.

 

[austinisourhero]

He may have had a limited budget and not much to work with, while some of the abuse he's had has been well over the top, but let's be honest here, he's a below average Premiership manager and they've been lucky to stay up recently.
He's made his money from being a journeyman manager, time to enjoy it Mr Bruce.

Being widely reported that his contract was paid up in full and that it was about £8m in total.

Their delusional fans have given him a rough time, but they haven't won this season and only had 7 wins in their last 38 games. Add that to the fact that he's hardly a glamourous figure to launch the Saudi's sportswashing campaign and he was clearly doomed.
