name me a better english manager worth taking over fergie
Tell me what Bruce has done in his career that is worthy of him being linked with the United job. He's done a pretty good job at Wigan, but nothing more than that.
Alex Ferguson deserved a chance at Man United because of what he did at Aberdeen. Ron Atkinson deserved the Man United job because of what he was doing with West Brom. Steve Bruce hasn't done anything close to what they did, but he did play for United, and for some strange reason Man United fans pine desperately for a manager who used to play for them.
Steve Bruce might well be the top English manager, but that says more about the poor quality of English managers than it says about Bruce's ability. If Steve Bruce is the best manager England has to offer, then Man United will be appointing a non-English manager when Ferguson retires.
