I’m not sure Dean Smith would drastically improve us quickly. Took him 4 years at Walsall and 18 months at Brentford to get the teams playing how he wanted. I’d take him, but I wouldn’t expect him to promote us this season.
-
It doesn’t actually say Bruce has 2 games to save his job. Just that he MAY have the next 2 games, then a decision will be made. He could win the next 2 games and still be sacked in my opinion.
-
I would hope that they now realise a change is necessary and are working hard in the background to find the best replacement. If not, we are screwed.
-
Oops....wrong thread
-
Truly dreadful keeper. I can’t believe we actually paid cash for him.
-
Scouting Cahill accordingly to the rumours. A complete waste of Bruce’s time though because I will be amazed if he is still our manager in January.

The RJW63 Official Jack Grealish Appreciation Thread
thejoker replied to kevangrealish's topic in Other Football
Great news for the club, but it all seems pointless with Steve Bruce in charge still. I’d love to see what a proper coach could do with Grealish. -
Anyone that can coach would be a start.
-
I’m so bored of Villa with Bruce as manager. It’s just draining. No excitement, just predictable shit every week.
-
Hopefully some of it will go towards Steve Bruce’s payoff.
-
We we’re going to spend £6m on Bryan and £9m in January on the French defender. We can afford to sack him if the owners want to.
-
Not entirely serious, no.
-
Only taken Bruce about 3 weeks to ruin him. Impressive stuff even by Bruce’s standards.
-
He should have been replaced as soon as the new owners came in. Hopefully they won’t put up with this for much longer.
-
I guess we’ll find out how ambitious our new owners really are in the next few days, because quite simply - Steve Bruce will NOT get us promoted this season, or ever.
-
Liverpool fans seem to hate him for some reason, but I’m happy to trust the judgement of our two billionaire owners.
-
I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that a club would ‘announce’ really. It hasn’t been denied by anyone, and Bruce alluded to it in one of his press conferences saying he was happy to work with any agent.
-
I’m surprised we haven’t signed more Mendes players, not even linked to anyone.
-
I’m not really sure how anyone at Bristol City can call Villa arrogant when your own manager called you “a Premier League team in training”. That’s arrogant.
-
Disappointing, but considering we thought we might not have a club a month ago I can’t say I’m too bothered. Onto the next one. We’ve still got until the end of the month to get someone on loan too.
-
Kenyan would certainly show that the new owners mean business.
-
That’s the FFP precident set now then. They can’t just fine (and transfer embargo) QPR and then start deducting points from other teams that break the rules. I guess it’s up to our owners whether they do things sensibly (which I think they will) or just say ‘f*** it’ and pay the fine.
-
Who else is left at the club to make decisions on transfers? No one that I could name. I can’t see Bruce being a long term option (he never was). He was brought in as a quick fix to get us promoted fast. I don’t see the point in letting him sign more 30 somethings who we won’t be able to shift when he eventually leaves.
-
I think Bruce can count himself extremely lucky to still be in a job. He said himself last season that he’d probably be out of a job if he didn’t get us promoted. I do think it is a bit of a stop gap though, if we start badly he’ll be gone. I guess the owners are giving themselves some time to assess things, which is sensible. Hopefully they don’t give Bruce free reign on transfers though.
-
It would have been nice to hear about the target for this season, whether they will be appointing a CEO, new scouting structure, do we have to sell players, etc. We still don’t really know anything yet.
