Popular Post TRO Posted October 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2016 If Steve Bruce does not get the Villa Job. I sincerely hope it is not down to his Blues connection alone. ......that would be absurd and childish. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's got something about him upstairs, and as a football pundit he has realised that Dr X's twitter is a great source of information when it comes to Villa.

The_Rev Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ian Atkins has left Everton to become chief scout at Aston Villa. He's previously worked with Bruce at Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyness was above him at boardroom level and, didn't Phil Neville both play for him at Everton and work alongside him as a coach at Man Utd? I know that's a bit mental at this stage but Moyes might look at Sunderland going in only one direction and maybe he would think (if wanted and approached of course) that Villa will be a long term project that he can stuck into, with the knowledge of funding when back in the PL? All supposition but wouldn't be beyond the realms of the impossible when you look at who we have here with a connection already. No chance. The man is a busted flush, he is done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche is miles ahead of Bruce in every way Why is dyche miles ahead in every way ? Interesting view point - he doesn't have as many promotions, hasn't survived in the premier league once and watching Burnley play football is as painful as watching hull play...

Given how shit our full backs are I'd probably start Gary and Phil if they took over! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 36 minutes ago, Dale said: I feel like all managers we should be offered should be the MON contract, i.e. one year rolling, to keep costs of sacking off as low as possible. Only when proven in role should a lengthier contract be considered. Fat lot of good that contract did considering he apparently got a 5M pound settlement.

If thats what we are down to we might as well appoint Simon Cowell and bring a football version of the X Factor to town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2016 Dunno why Neville as an assistant would be disappointing. Assistants to me seem generally absolutely useless. Whether its Wilkins, Clarke, Culverhouse or whoever, if the manager is shit they make no difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 1 hour ago, TRO said: Absolutely, It smacks to me ,they have found/stumbled / on a winning formula and are not prepared to give it up. as you intimate.....any manager worth his salt and confidence in his own ability, would jump at it. its only become a poisoned chalice, because people have made it that way, through poor decisions and judgments. This damn nonsense is reversible....its just finding the right person to do it.....someone will....that I have no doubt whatsoever. I disagree. I think it's as clear as day that we're an absolute shambles. I can't see why any manager who has got something good already going would want to risk it for us. I think they are wise to leave us well alone atm. With the current midfield I could see us in big trouble come Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
