Sir Alex Ferguson believes that football fans have "no patience" following the axe of Steve Bruce from Sunderland.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson thinks that Sunderland supporters contributed to the sacking of Steve Bruce.

The 50-year-old was forced out of Wearside earlier this week, with Martin O'Neill likely to replace the ex-Birmingham City boss.

"Fans just don't have the patience any longer, just see what happened to Steve Bruce up in the North East where being a Geordie didn't help him," said Ferguson.

"In that part of the world they are so passionate and committed to their football team. I think Brucie has suffered because of that but that's the kind of supporters we have these days - no patience."

Sunderland have won just two matches in the Premier League so far this season.
