1. Was it the continual death threats he kept getting?

2. I’m sure at a point he stuck it out to reach the 1,000 game mark bc why tf not at that point, but was already retired in his mind.

3. He had become pretty lazy by that point in his career and gave the players way too many days off so he could invest his time into other ventures like being a shit landlord.

   When your first time are arranging extra sessions just to stay fit then that is a problem.

4. We knew this at the time, he scheduled 2 days a week for training and was flying off the Spain and going golfing instead of managing the team. Only one journalist (Edwards) defended him repeatedly and unsurprisingly is one of Bruce’s good friends.

5. What were you expecting? Guy needs to spend most of his time writing more novels, his main career
