Imagine being Cardiff City manager and the ccmb boys started saying mean things about you….. I for one would be mortified.

No doubt he's relieved, and yes I understand the construction game although I am not liable for costs as I work for someone.
I've had the same in jobs on the railway when I was supervisor and responsible for completing work, the pressure definitely gets to you and you learn a lot about what type of person you are, it was a big learning curve and I grew as a person.
I just don't think a manager getting a payoff means he can't have any feelings, it doesn't make the abuse go away they still feel it even with the money in the bank. They'll get over it but not in the short term.

Of course they’ve got feelings but it’s done, over, kaput. In most jobs you get peddled without a sausage for failure. Ok, he had abuse but in Bruce’s case I’m sure the accolades he had when playing and the bits of success as a manager he’s had far outweigh it. He had a fair old career, winning things left, right and centre and has been in the dug out as a manager a thousand times. He’s no rookie, he’s not new to the game, he knows what it’s all about, it goes with the territory. No bugger would become involved in football administration if they melted at the brickbats. Nigh on every manager takes the job with a fair old chance it’ll all end in tears, it’s no shock. I’m sure they balance things out. If the abuse has got to him it’s taken it’s time, a thousand games. £8 million pay off boo hoo.
I have no sympathy for him. He was obviously shit at his job, but he had no problem cashing the checks. He should be able to stand a bit of name-calling. He also apparently was OK with being publicly humiliated in return for a £7M payout. He's a multi-millionaire, has an armful of medals and has managed 1000 league games in the top two divisions. He has a wife and children and can now retire very comfortably at just 60. Life could be worse. A lot worse.
