[BaggieSteve]

Ok, so I'm over the initial disappointment of us hiring Steve Bruce, and although I strongly believe his appointment is a  mistake,  I am prepared to give him a chance and see what the next few months bring.  He does know the championship and has had some success at that level. Many pro's speak highly of his man management and his ability to get the best out of average players.  So let's see what the future brings and give him a chance.

I feel the same way as you, baggietrousers. My initial reaction was extreme disappointment but I've come to see the logic in this. And, in all honesty, short of no appointment and letting Mozza and Brunty take temporary charge until season end (which I'd have been happy with), I can't honestly see who else would have been a more suitable name. I don't know the overseas market and there may have been unemployed managers there who could have done a job for us but, domestically, I'm not sure there is anyone better at this level. So, like everyone else, I'll certainly give the guy a chance and support him. A positive result at Bramall Lane would be a very welcome start
