"if clubs like Wigan, Swansea, Southampton and Norwich can make the premier league, why it Hull?" Never liked the bloke and hate him even more now after this. Clearly an out of touch failing manager with a huge ego and still thinks we play at the Dell and don't have two pennies to rub together. Does he have no idea of our champions league ambitions and catchment area?
SaintBobby Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 I'm appalled. According to MLG's unambiguous, peer-reviewed, scientific criteria of the "bigness" of a club, we are bigger than Hull. Managers from smaller clubs should not be able to compare their outfit to bigger clubs, natch.

Clearly an out of touch failing manager with a huge ego and still thinks we play at the Dell and don't have two pennies to rub together. Does he have no idea of our champions league ambitions and catchment area? I agree, but to be fair most of the press still think like this about us. Hopefully this season will open a few peoples eyes.

Does he have no idea of our champions league ambitions and catchment area? Your constant repeating of our "champions league ambitions" et al is growing tiresome. By far the most boring thing on the whole forum. It's on every thread on here. Any chance you can give it a rest for 5 mins?
Thedelldays Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Steve bruce does not realise how big we are.....we are now bigger than everton and leeds...ffs how dare he mention us in the same breath as swansea

No. We have champions league ambitions and if we talk about them enough maybe people like Steve Bruce will start believing them.
Pamplemousse Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Did anyone see SSN earlier this morning, they had a few Saints fans on there talking about the upcoming season and one woman said that we were as big a club as Liverpool
The Kraken Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Did anyone see SSN earlier this morning, they had a few Saints fans on there talking about the upcoming season and one woman said that we were as big a club as Liverpool Well its eminently possible. We simply don't know her definition of a big club, and there may be some factors we simply don't know about.
Turkish Posted 17 June, 2012 Author Posted 17 June, 2012 Steve bruce does not realise how big we are.....we are now bigger than everton and leeds...ffs how dare he mention us in the same breath as swansea All I can think of is that he is jealous and bitter he has never had the chance to be our manager as we've continually over looked him for the job. He clearly has an anti Saints agenda and these disgraceful comments prove it.
VectisSaint Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4362214/Steve-Bruce-wants-Hull-City-promotion-to-Premier-League.html Disgusting comments on his appointment at Hull. "if clubs like Wigan, Swansea, Southampton and Norwich can make the premier league, why it Hull?" Perhaps someone ought to tell him Hull have already been in the Premier League. Difference between Hull and the others is that the others have managed to stay up, Bruce will never achieve that with Hull because he is a crap manager.
Professor Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Absolutely appalling. How dare he compare Hull with huge clubs like SFC. He has the nerve to say 'no disrespect' and then disrepects our club by comparing us to Norwich, as if they had anything like our record of achievement. Well, perhaps Norwich have, a bit; but Hull haven't, so Bruce should be brought Southampton in chains and made to kneel outside St Mary's for a full day.
Neil Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 To be honest, whilst Bruce is a bit of a gimp, he's by no means the worst of all the managers. I just hope that some of the PL managers next season are also underestimating us.
Dalek2003 Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 I'm so angry that Bruce should say such a thing. Of course we are a big club FFS ! If the likes of Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea can qualify for Europe why not us !

Difference between Hull and the others is that the others have managed to stay up, Bruce will never achieve that with Hull because he is a crap manager. To be fair - he's got an eye for a quality signing.......................! :-) And he is likely to begin with the signings of former Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey, 34!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOSaint Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Didn't he see the Saints fans on SSN this morning? We're on even footing with Liverpool now, it's now a FACT as it was on the news.
del boy Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Lack of transfer news is so terribly tiresome, look what its driving people to
John D Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Of course we are a big club. Just look at how many letters there are in our name. Far bigger than Chelsea or Arsenal and dont even mention Ajax to me. Hull is positively tiny compared to us!
Mowgli Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Two years ago we were nearly as big as Dagenham & Redbridge....
eelpie Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 If Hull have a smaller deficit than Saints then they are bigger than SFC. Doncaster are much bigger than ManU by the same measurement. Who said that?
sammysaint Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 We had 22k average in league one and they had 21k in championship in the 10/11 season and that was the season after the 2 seasons in the premier league, and last year we 26k they had 18k, im sorry steve but your as thick as **** if you think were the same size club or there bigger. Were one of the top 15 supported clubs in the country, with a 32k stadium and one of the best training facilities and youth systems in europe.
aintforever Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 Bruce is talking ******, there is no way we are in the same class as Swansea, they have £40mill in the bank because they've been in the Prem a season FFS.
scotty Posted 17 June, 2012 Posted 17 June, 2012 one woman said that we were as big a club as Liverpool :cry::cry: edited the smiley for you. If we're going to compete with liverpool we will need to up our weeping, and quickly.

Well, perhaps Norwich have, a bit; but Hull haven't, so Bruce should be brought Southampton in chains and made to kneel outside St Mary's for a full day. By saying he "no disrespect" he was being disrespectful. He knew he would offend so wanted to make out he was tying not to. It's like people who start a sentance with "I'm not racist but....." I'm appalled at these so called proffesionals and their lack of knowledge and respect for one of English footballs biggest clubs. Edited 17 June, 2012 by Turkish
