A Coach With a Lot of Responsibility
Steve Bruce had one wild weekend—even for a Premier League coach (those guys throw some crazy coke and stripper parties). Last Tuesday Bruce announced he was leaving Birmingham City in order to take over Wigan Atlantic. After a deal was reached between the two teams, Birmingham claimed Bruce still owed them about $500,000. As late as Thursday, both teams considered Bruce their coach.
Alas, Bruce’s quest to win two games with two different teams on the same day never came to fruition. A deal was reached and Bruce was Wigan’s official manager by kickoff on Saturday. Bruce’s new team fared well in his debut, hanging with league-leading Arsenal before falling 2-0. Meanwhile, his old team did not show they secretly hated him by playing an unbelievable game—they lost to Portsmouth 2-0.
