Andy Carroll has stuck the knife in former manager Steve Bruce following his West Bromwich Albion sacking. The duo worked together at Newcastle United for two seasons, with Bruce bringing the 6ft 4in striker back to Tyneside on a free transfer - eight years after his £35million exit.
Just one goal in 43 appearances wearing black-and-white stripes saw Carroll released by Newcastle in 2021. The Gateshead-born target man joined West Brom in January this year, only to be reunited with Bruce just days later when the club appointed him as manager.
However, Carroll would face the 61-year-old’s axe for the second time in 12 months as his short-term contract was not renewed over the summer. There is clearly no love lost between the pair as he paid little sympathy to Bruce’s recent departure.
