Green is feeling the pressure.

Oh i never knew that they were part of Fergie's backroom staff? ?

I also think Arteta has a big future in the world of management. He is simply learning from the best there is at the moment. I would be surprised if we ever considered him to be our manager because many would consider him a big risk.

I would love for this to happen. But Huddersfield would never sack him. They cannot attract anything better than Wagner.

Why do people think that Dean Smith is the mastermind in how Brentford play? He is their head coach.. They have a head of philosophy at their club for one.

We know deep down that Bruce is not going to get us promoted. However we are in a sticky situation, we need suitable replacements to become available. We also need a CEO and DOF to identify the suitable replacement that suits their vision for this football club. I cannot see bruce being sacked until we have top level appointments.

This is the most important signing for the club imo. After watching the All or Nothing - Manchester city series you can see how involved the Chairman is with the CEO and director of football which then trickles down to the pitch. Our owners are going to have to bring someone to the club that they can trust and have extensive football knowledge. As much as i am not keen on Bruce. A CEO and a DOF are going to be the ones that can critically assess Bruce and find a suitable replacement. We just have to be patient on this one. Sawris & Edens will not be mucking about. They want us promoted within two seasons.

If we do not loan him this season his development will continue to stagnate.

That is the major issue. He has recognised our flaws since he has been here and to this date nothing has changed. This is why fans are becoming frustrated. Because he is the creator of his own problems here and he lacks the ability to make necessary changes.

The staff have not managed him properly imo. The boy is nearly 20 and has hardly played first team football. He should be going out on loan. He is lacking a lot of experience for first team football. He could bang 50 goals for the under 23's it still won't make him a better player. He needs to play non-league or league two football and graft it out.

3 wins in a row.. Against weak opposition and we still look unconvincing. I just cannot see this team getting promoted with Bruce in charge. It's shameful that we continue to look this poor for nearly two years of his management. We will be found out against better opposition in this league. Let's see how long Bruce and co can ride this gravy train for..

This match is just showcasing the problems that bruce has brought upon himself. He has been here for nearly two years and he hasn't signed a centre back for more than a one year contract.. And he talks about stability..

??

This club has not been good at managing young players for a while. Murphy should have went on loan last season as well as our other youngsters. We continue to keep our prospects playing under 23 football. They need first team exposure somewhere else.

Well it doesn't matter how we play As long as we win.. ??

I will continue to support Bruce however i am aware that his limitations as a manager has shown throughout our performances here. I watch enough football to know the impact a manager can have on the first team. Bruce had his impact, which was stabilising us, making us tougher to beat and ensuring that our players are committed to the cause, something that was previously lacking and was the cause to our demise. There will always be a split between fans on Bruce some are content by winning by any means necessary whereas other fans want us to have substance and purpose to how we play. Someone mentioned what impact has Biesla had at Leeds so far.. He has had a great impact to the way Leeds play, that is a different Leeds united to the one we saw last season. The same conversation took place last year when Nuno Santo took over from Wolves over the summer and changed the clubs philosophy and got them promoted, Leeds could do the same. Due to unforeseen circumstances this summer we were never in a position to change our manager. Our major problem is that we have flattered to deceive and we have done so for the past year, we have played poorly and scraped wins. We do not play attacking football, we do not have patterns of play. For me personally as much as it gripes me to see Villa play in the manner we do, I have to accept that Bruce will get the remaining loan window to bring in players. He will be given time to bed them in and then depending on form this will determine his future here. If by mid December we are faltering in our pursuit of promotion, ideally a head coach with some stature with new ideas should be brought in.

Better players being managed by a limited manager..

Either way its not going to end well. He will either get sacked this season or he will get us promoted waste millions and then get sacked..

We wouldn't cope. He would outthought which would result in us being outplayed. Cardiff are similar to us and they will be the team that would go down because of their limited style.

I was watching MOTD last night and the array of talent and the style of play that these teams had. Teams like Watford, Palace, Bournemouth. Teams you would consider to be average at that level looking miles ahead from where we are. If Bruce managed to get us promoted. I would dread to think how we would look as a premier league team.

Neves is a top player. Reminds me of Pirlo. He is easily a £70 million player and should be at an elite club.

GOAAAAL

Number 1 is Vacant I reckon Bruce will be signing a new GK.

He is ambitious, he may feel that playing premier league football next season is key for his development. He also is probably looking forward to playing with a greater quality footballers and being coached by Pochettino. I guarantee when he was watching England at the world cup he thought.. I'm good enough to be playing at this level, i need to prove myself next season at a higher level.

Villa fan or not Grealish's career means more to him. He has the ability to further his career and i would not hold that against him. I hope we get some really good money for him if he does leave.
