JE-

Sorry but last season squad is better than this one

I think we as villa fans seem to be just accepting low standards now lerner has beaten us down to the lowly level and we just accept it now Let me ask you folks this question... If lerner picked Bruce would he be getting so much support like he is from fans? Absolutely not.. Double standards i am afraid

No Because no business person ever acquires any business to make any a return on investment I mean what are all those idiots on dragons den thinking they should stand to lose money every year just t like our genius owner

Not much pressure? You clearly don't understand where the money has come from or the sustainability of it... Lerner was crucified for overspending on crap players.. That's exactly what we have done this season although not crap for the championship they are not good enough for the prem not one of them... No player should cost 15m from Bristol city it's ridiculous we got robbed

I'll simply answer to this scarstic comment with 2 simple questions How much have we spent? Where are we in the league Yes thanks very much enough said.. Great job though villa board clap clap

You make some very good points mate.. Everyone seems to love the owner just because he is on twitter but maybe if he stopped buying crap film companies and kept his finger on the pulse where it really needes a leader to make sure we went up we would not have made so many bad decisions I for one don't rate Wyness either he has not been ceo of a club for over 7 years he is out of touch for me

Hi guys The both examples of ugly vs pretty football and their results are just not reality If you are a crap footballing side alot of times you will be in a crap place in the league.. You only need to look at the teams near the bottom to understand that Playing to dominate the opponent and being actually visibly more skillful and more intimidating than any other opposition in this league is something with the money spent is a minimum requirement for me Yet here we are sitting in an embarrassing league position playing ugly defensive football with man city type type spending at this level.. It's unacceptable for me and the amount of changes is one big massive excuse. Firstly he only needed to add 3 players max to add to the squad in Jan not overhaul the squad.. That was his call and he ended up losing a load of games as a result. Then you have the likes of Newcastle Leeds Huddersfield Brighton who made a load of changes in the summer too more than us some of them Bruce has messed his chance up for me and we will be making a mistake keeping him beyond this season.

Folks, The problem is nobody in the top 6 plays backs to the wall garbage football so decent football goes hand in hand with success even at championship level So this theory of winning playing really bad football does not really have a basis for reality. Even pulis is not doing this

The way I see it Bruce was justifying his appointment up until Jan and then he screwed it all getting and making too many changes and then throwing them all in hoping it would work This is not good management it's very poor so he messed his chance up big time we were close to the play offs before Jan happened A more tactically astute manager is required to have chance of promotion and the championship Is changing football is getting more modern look at Brentford who we made look like Barcelona

It is also a point that the setup was forced upon him by the likes of hogan being injured there is no way he would have dropped him

Hi mate Bruce has never been a manager for pretty football so i can't believe for one minute he is going to turn us into a good footballing side. Derby lost to Blackburn last night which puts that win into perspective and Bristol are very poor also. These are teams we should be winning at home with money that has been spent. In delighted with the 2 wins but no way does that make Bruce the right man Because we have beaten 2 sides who are in dire form as much as us have been this is to he expected with our lot. The reason we are in this mess in the first place is due to poor managers buying poor players and who are not up to the modern standard of today's footballing world and next season will be alot harder than this season

Hi folks First post since joining and thought the best way to start is with our current manager. Bruce was brought in to reach the play offs this season by the board no question for me and here we are in 15th place and 7 days ago genuinely worried about relegation. It's been nothing short of a disaster under Bruce since trying to employ his own tactics and went on that awful run of losses. Villa need a modern manager who is tactically astute and that man is not Bruce

Hi guys Been a villa fan all my life and the last 7 years have been horrifying for us fans as we all know including this season Looking to talk all things villa and hopefully have some healthy debates with fellow fans. My little boy was born last year and hopefully will be a new villain but I must admit I don't want him having the same pain as us!
