Curious tale of Carlos Corberan, Steve Bruce and Eddie Howe nufc wba
He inherited a team / squad that had finished comfortably in mid-table the previous two seasons.
In his time at St James’ Park, Steve Bruce was allowed to spend more than any previous Newcastle manager, especially when it came to net spend. Rafa Benitez had zero net spend in his time under Mike Ashley, Ashley himself declared that he had allowed Steve Bruce a £160m net spend. However, rather than questioning the quality of Steve Bruce, the media were overwhelmingly questioning the quality of the Newcastle United team and squad. The media message was, how could Steve Bruce be expected to do anything with this lot, no manager in the World could be doing any better etc etc.
Reality was that the better form was massively down to the players Eddie Howe inherited from Steve Bruce, plus the contributions of low key January signings Wood, Targett and Burn. Steve Bruce though came in, declaring he was inheriting a great squad, that indeed rather than a play-off spot, he thought they were more than capable of getting automatic promotion in the top two.
In the space of only 18 months, Steve Bruce had taken a fifth place team he said he could take up automatically, to now relegation certainties. Quite incredible.Then the final part of the story, for now.
