Sunderland boss Bruce no longer surprised by manager sackings

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 10:33

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is no longer surprised by the sackings of managers.

Four managers have already left their jobs this season, but Bruce has a sympathetic owner in Ellis Short.

“Half of management now is who you work for,” the former Manchester United defender reflected. “It’s the hardest part of the lot – and it’s becoming more difficult.

“We’re not surprised anymore as managers. And I don’t think the public are anymore. It’s difficult.”
