It's amusing in some respects that Bruce tried hard to make a local boy come home angle work and yet Benitez was just a better fit with getting the fans on side. If Bruce was to have joined us, he arguably could've been a better fit in '04 - Birmingham to that point had done pretty well, he'd yet to get relegated or manage Sunderland and he seemed like a man on the way up. That's obviously different to now given his last job was a swift failure with Blackpool in League 1. 

He didn't understand how getting all his Man U mates in the media to talk him up just kept making things worse. Complete dissonance. 

 

Given how many Man U fans went the "you should be grateful to have a legend like Bruce" I still have a desire to see him manage there. It won't happen but it would be wonderful.

Got to be honest, i dont care about the transfer fees - it doesnt affect me at all. The pints dont get cheaper if we make a profit, and the bibimbap and crispy chicken wont get pricier as we've droppe
