Steve Bruce: Blackpool sack veteran boss after poor start to season

Bruce enjoyed a strong start at Bloomfield Road, with four wins and a draw from his first five games.

He took a two-week leave of absence at the end of last October after his four-month-old grandson Madison died and released a statement thanking “the footballing world” for the support he received during that time.

Blackpool lost just five of their final 25 League One matches but 10 draws in that time put paid to any hopes of breaking into the top six places.

They recruited widely in the summer with experienced defenders Fraser Horsfall and Michael Ihiekwe and former Sunderland captain George Honeyman among the new arrivals.

The season began with a home defeat by Stevenage before a 4-1 reverse at Exeter City.

They then held on to beat much-fancied Huddersfield 3-2 for their first win in all competitions but subsequently lost three of their next four games.

Jordan Brown’s last minute goal gave them a 1-0 win over Barnsley but one point from the next three games has brought the curtain down on Bruce’s 13th managerial appointment.
