    Ashley.

    Always was. Doesn’t stop Bruce having been a poor manager though.

    I watched Steve Bruce take on Burnley this season at home with these players - we lost.

    Yes

    Shelvey can looked good against Man Utd because their midfield is as lazy as him. He's ****e against anyone who has legs

    Not just him, lot of pap in the squad

    Your da sold Lejeune our best defender

    So if the players are the problem then that means it wasn't Bruce's fault . Unless it's now Howe's fault too?

    Steve Bruce was, is and always will be a mackem ****er.
    Steve Bruce was, is and always will be a Man Utd supporter.
    Steve Bruce was, is and always will be a Mike Ashley sympathiser.
    Steve Bruce was, is and always will be a **** no mark of a manager who could only dream of being as good as other **** manager such as Mark Hughes, Graeme Souness, Tony Pullis and Eddie Howe. :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

    He really wasn't mate.

    This is the issue with the last 15 - 20 years. We are that starved of anyone of genuine class that bang average players are hero worshiped because of desperation.

    Examples

    Dubravka is one of the best keepers in the PL - Reality - Is he ****, he's not even in the top 10.

    Longstaff will be the next Gazza and better than Rice - Utter Bollox - Fanbase is desperate to produce a player who we can be proud of and sing - He's one of our own.

    Ginger Longstaff - See above - Couldn't even get a game for Aberdeen, when he did play - he was so poor he never go another look in.

    ASM is world class - Is he ****, he's mint at dribbling and looks good when in full flow - Reality - These runs are far too few and far between, his passing is average, his crossing is poor, his finishing is poor, his positional awareness is poor.

    Willock - FFS - Yes he went on a scoring run that was unreal. Reality - He can't do a lot of the basics well and is very lightweight, his goals papered over the flaws of his game last season.

    You seem to have Scottish pals/family, what was the issue with Longstaff up there? He may be ****e but surely he's not too ****e for Aberdeen, they've got Scott Brown playing who I'd love to see race Shelvey though
