My point wasn't really about whether new manager bounces actually exist, it was more that neither RDM or SB have got anywhere near enough from the set of players they had/have. And to be frank..... In terms of SB, you don't seem to have an answer to that.

The players were a lot more capable than RDM had them playing and they are a lot more capable than what Bruce has had them playing. Other than an initial new manager bounce there has been zero change.

It wasn't to provoke a bite fwiw.

Seem to be falling pretty rapidly imo. A couple of months ago, Bruce's undoubted good start brought us to 3 points off the play offs. Now we're miles adrift with him having made a total arse of it since..... and bar a couple of late goals in otherwise dire performances, we'd be bordering on relegation fodder again.

Roberto Di Matteo who won the champions league? Steve Bruce who has won.........? I'm in the same position with Bruce, that me and yourself were in regarding RDM......... why on earth are people thinking he needs more time? The team hasn't shown a jot of consistency or improvement for going on 3 months..... and it's getting worse. No fight, no plan, bizarre and atrocious decisions and an inactive clueless man on the touchline. No need to continue when there is people out there whose ceilings are not dour route 1 garbage.

Far far from being wrong.

I've forgot past glory. Hell I wasn't even alive for a lot of it. However, firmly in my mind is a club that's spent close to 80m on assembling a team to compete in the championship. On top of that we pay absolutely stupid money on wages. My expectations are absolute reality. We should be walking this league. Anything less is poor. What we are witnessing is absolutely shocking.

And coinciding with gabby coming back. Give or take a couple of games. Atrocious decision.

Jesus

Good.

I'm in no surprise that fans are starting to realise, he's shit.

I've slept on it. Still has to go for me. Ultra dull football that just isn't working. Many other 'inferior on paper' teams outclassing us simply by being more determined. It's inexcusable. Yes they weren't/aren't his players. Yes we've made a number of signings that will take time to bed in (tho I say again........ we're ALWAYS waiting for our signings to bed in...... We literally never have one who really comes in, makes a difference and hits the ground running), but we're not even showing any form of signal that something may click or work. It's not encouraging in any way shape or form. It's simply abysmal and has been for a couple of months. There was no reason to continue with RDM, when he dished up a run of shit like this and there's no reason to with Bruce. Yes we keep changing managers and it's not ideal but we keep hiring shit. Keep reading he's hurting too and he was fuming last night. So what? He's not paid to Hurt or be fuming. He's paid millions to get results, which he simply isn't doing.

He's said that every week for two months. We go again.

Has to go for me. That's about the tenth game running where the opposition has been quicker, hungrier and stronger. Not losing to better players or managers, just teams who simply want it more.

Very poor. Got ridiculed when I was saying the Norwich game was the worst I'd ever seen....... It's only gone and got worse. Absolute horse shit. **** him off and get rowett in

Been saying for a couple of months that questions need to be asked. He literally has no excuses. I would take warnock in a heartbeat as it stands.

Yep

Villa fans still annoyed we took matt Lowton for peanuts? I can honestly say I've never given that a 2nd thought.

Johnstone Bree Baker Chester Taylor Adomah Hourihane Landsbury Bjarnason Grealish Hogan/Rhodes Subs Bunn Amavi Jedinak Hutton Kodjia Bacuna Elphick

Delighted with this. Mainly because it means amavi will be dropped or at the very least required to up his game.

A stream of managers that it's widely accepted didn't have a clue what they were doing.

5m? Bye bye Westwood you absolute definition of the word 'loser'

Well it does.... seen as I said 'despite the money'.

Or just sack him and despite the money it costs, send a message to the next inevitable prick that we won't be like every other team on the planet and take it up the arse from players.

God, so negative
