Steve Bruce stays

Hardly surprising, but the predictable "get behind the team" posts from those in favour of keeping him have begun. These are the same posters that cry foul when people oppose their point of view - "I have the right to an opinion", and so on and so forth. Yes you do, and so do we, so stop telling us to "get behind the team". You told us that in October 2005, December 2005 and again after we lost 7-0 to Liverpool and look where it got us then. We allegedly improved our form at the end of the season - 11 points from 12 games equates to relegation form however you look at it.

Sullivan and Bruce have promised us a radically different approach next season. They made a lot of promises before games last season too, so they'll forgive me if I err on the side of caution and judge them on their actions rather than their words. So far, those actions have been pitiful for two seasons.
