At first I had reservations about Steve Bruce, but having sat back and thought seriously about it I feel that his appointment is the best for the club.We need to kick on from the last two seasons and become an established premier league team and i have every confidence that brucy can achieve this with Sunderland.Roll on next season and lets hope we can make some progress on the field with some astute signings -Stewie Downing would be very welcome addition to our squad and a good run in the Cup competions would not go amiss.

A very astute appointment on a number of levels – and I was at the game at home v Wigan when the only amusement was listening to the Mr Potato Head style abuse he received.
Not so much his range of experience and his deservedly accrued credibility in the game, but his character seems ‘normal’.
Keano seemed volatile and complex leading to short term success but inevitable melt-down while Ricky was clearly a ‘nice guy’ (sorry, but there have been so many cliched comments on ALS message boards around about this ‘nice guy’ aspect) in an environment where I suspect nice guy’s don’t usually succeed (St Niall excepted).
He is from the region and looking at his CV as a player and a manager, he starts at the bottom and works up. On that thinking – Brucey has now reached the top!

Have to admit, when I first heard his name being linked to us I was less than bowled over. I’d got used to the idea of a big name manager coming from the Continent. But now it’s happened I’m pleased. We all said we could do without another nail biting end to the season and I think we’ll get it. Feels like the club is in good hands.
