nick76 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Bruce is going nowhere in the near future in my opinion and I'm not convinced it is right either for him to go, still think he should have a bit more time. I go against most on here but that's the way I feel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I was ready for him to go after Cardiff, I felt he'd lost the players at that point but results and performances have gotten better since then and I hope beyond all hope that Saturday was a sign of things to come. We should start a club, and then a forum called TillaValk. Edited September 18, 2017 by bannedfromHandV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Villa Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Make it four. Some of the stuff on here lately has made me lose interest in this site unfortunately. Agree we're not where we should be but with the Doctor, the better squad and a general better feel around VP we're on the right track. It was never going to happen overnight. the fact some have hoped we lose to get the manager sacked has shocked me. Our away support is second to none and I'm afraid to say, I think some of the people on here rarely go to games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our away support is second to none and I'm afraid to say, I think some of the people on here rarely go to games. I kind of agree with this, although I am still not sure Bruce is the right man, there are a lot more positives around the club, and we certainly seem to be a slicker machine off the pitch. This season is crucial however, as the parachute payment next season is drastically reduced. Failure to get promotion this season would put a club like ours at a serious disadvantage over smaller clubs with smaller infrastructure as we'd have pretty much the same money to play with as them, but far greater outgoing.....it could get really messy. that said thought it's clear that Wyness and Co. have planned for that eventuality, and I do believe we've been clever with getting players on shorter contracts. Tony is in my opinion doing a great job, and while nobody is above criticism I am struggling to see what more some fans could have expected for him given the mess we were in when he arrived.

Not sure it's fair to assume some on here rarely go to games because they want the manager sacked ? Most on here watch games one way or another and no one can really argue that performances and results in the main have been very disappointing - given his resources and squad at his disposal I think Bruce is very lucky that xia has been patient with him . I backed him until the Cardiff and reading games as did many on here - xia has backed him so now hopefully we can get over the poor start and get a run of wins together - if Bruce can do that he will be doing his job and also appeasing some Though not all of his critics . The ball is in his court and we all hope he succeeds for the sake of Aston Villa . Edited September 19, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting around waiting for one to become unemployed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 For the love of god sack the man. You allegedly decided to buy the club because of the great support you saw at the Newcastle game. Only 11,000 bothered to attend tonight, Bruce is sapping the life out of every one of us. We used to laugh at small heath for this sort of shit. Small heath/Wigan was Bruces ceiling, his level. And a run of mill championship club is exactly what we will become if this bloke isn't sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I would think that such a low attendance tonight would set alarm bells ringing. Nowt shouts louder than dosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I would suggest the whole League cup is a financial loss for the club anyway. I would think we are best off without it. The Saturday league fixtures attendances are a concern though, and I suspect Tony et al with have noted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that with every season that has past, i care less and less about the club/results. I really can't see myself getting another season ticket next season. All the fun has been sucked out of it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
