The Football Spin: Steve Bruce and the Premier League sack race, Jack Byrne the star

SportsJOE

This one’s for you, Newcastle fans.

The news has been confirmed, Steve Bruce is in.

On The Football Spin on Friday, Dion Fanning and Wayne Garry joined Paddy McKenna from London to discuss how nice-guy Steve Bruce is the sort of person you’d like to go on a train journey with, but not exactly ready for the job on Tyneside.

“Steve Bruce’s greatest disqualification for the Newcastle job is that he wanted it in the first place,” wrote Farry after the appointment and the panel discuss that in this episode.

Meanwhile, Jack Byrne’s star continues to rise in Dublin as Shamrock Rovers came from behind in their second leg Europa League qualification battle with a goal and another beautiful performance from the former Man City prospect.

“For Rovers to get that result and for Jack Byrne who is catching people’s attention, it’s a great result.”
