[Ohio Saint]

I can't think of anything to add! Honest and awesomely humble!

[kwsaint]

Comes across as a genuinely nice bloke. Felt the same way about Martinez. Would love Hull to stay up this year. Think they deserve it since there are plenty more worse teams in the PL than Hull.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Quality!

[Barry Sanchez]

Steve Bruce is a gent in that regard, superb first half, blitzed them.

Always liked Steve Bruce, an incredibly honest, genuine football manager.

We won 4-0 according to that.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Some valid and honest praise from Steve. Anyone that watched us today would have been impressed.

 

Just home we get a good showing on MOTD tonight

[Rasiak-9-]

We were discussing him earlier actually during the game.

 

Aside from being a gentleman, he's a very good manager, and has done brilliantly well getting Hull this far. Certainly the sort of sensible and stable manager you'd trust with your club, even though he might not be the most glamourous.

[Junction 9]

I met him at a wedding once, happy to have a chat. Lovely bloke.

[Whitey Grandad]

For some reason I never used to like him but...

 

Respect

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Always liked him for some inexplicable reason.

 

Decent, if unspectacular manager. Think he'll keep hull up, which is no mean feat. Good on him.

[Bailey]

Always liked him on the basis that he comes across as a normal, decent bloke. Even more respect for him following his post-match comments.

[Dig Dig]

Can I be the first to say, I really like Steve Bruce, always have.

[Saint J 77]

Didn't know about the Sunderland interest in Adam.

 

"And Lallana ... I went to watch him four years ago when he played at Carlisle in League One when I was up at Sunderland but the lad wanted to stay here and they've reaped the benefits of that. He's got a big future – he's an exceptionally gifted footballer

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Also, one of those guys that never got an England cap that definitely should have.

 

Bizarre really considering the success he had as Utd captain.

[BadgerBadger]

He's a top bloke

[Nadia Sllim]

Hull load of respect from him.

Yeah, was just thinking the same considering the fact that him and Pallister had such a good partnership and Pallister was capped

[whelk]

Nice to here such honest comments. Was saying nice things before the game and doing a decent job at Hull for a dinner lady

[Danbert]

He's a Championship manager and a bit of a Neanderthal. Every time he's managed in the Premiership it's been a disaster. Hull's wheels will fall off sooner or later. IMHO.

Eh?

 

Sunderland aside, where he had a decent season before a bad run. Where else has he been a disaster?

 

Agree he isn't the most forward thinking, and not the most exciting, but he is a solid premiership manager.

doing better than adkins did

he is a decent manager. obviously

[CB Fry]

Utterly moronic statement.

 

Solid mid table performances with not one, not two but three Premier League sides. And on track for a fourth.

 

Pray tell, which club has he been a "disaster" at?

What a pleasant change to the likes of Holloway etc.......and don't get me started about Mourinho!!!

[Danbert]

He was relegated with Birmingham and damn nearly relegated with both Wigan and Sunderland.

[Batman]

He was relegated with Birmingham and damn nearly relegated with both Wigan and Sunderland.

 

and took them up

staying up is a good thing with those teams, yes?

[CB Fry]

He was relegated with Birmingham and damn nearly relegated with both Wigan and Sunderland.

 

What seasons did he "damn near relegate" Wigan and Sunderland then? He saved Wigan following a disasterous start to the season under Hutchings I think. And he took Sunderland to solid mid table and was sacked probably prematurely and it's not like they have done any better since.

 

And needless to say got the Sunderland job because of his good record at Wigan also known as not "damn near" relegating them.

[Badger]

A refreshing response, and as said above a welcome change from the likes of Holloway, and most of the big club managers who'd pin defeat on the ref or their own bad luck rather than credit the opposition.

 

My judgement of Bruce has been impaired by his association with Man U, although even there he seemed a lot more acceptable face than the Rio's etc. Had forgotten he was overlooked by England, travesty if Pallister was capped.

 

I think his managerial career has probably been blighted by some poor club choices really.

[Crab Lungs]

Decent manager, decent bloke.

 

Hull fans were impressed too...
