Changes very little IMV (although for what it's worth I doubt they will be...). His statement was not predicated on Huddersfield being in any particular league Just that he wouldn't leave them for a Championship club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find we came 20th in the Premier League last year so "by rights" we belong in the championship and until we manage to get promotion we belong to stay there. I think Bruce is our best chance at getting promoted but I think this season would be too much of an ask for anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand people feeling uninspired by the potential appointment, or feeling that someone else may be a better fit/choice, but against Bruce? Been there and done it for years at the exact level that Villa are at right now with relative success at the same time. Promoted from the league we're in just last season with another recently relegated club. The wrong choice? Why? A guy who in his own words 'doesnt really know much about tactics' says it all in my view. So what does he bring to the managerial role then? Thats a genuine question by the way, motivation is all i can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get promoted. Go back for Wagner Again, Wagner didnt say that. It was the chairman who said he said that. Massive difference in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're actually going to put his managerial record to one side, the promotions etc and just worry about a comment that might have been made?

Well OK but I'm working on the assumption that the chairman didn't make it all up, and that he had a conversation of that nature with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment was made at a press conference else he could have sued the Guardian. Also he liked Eric Black as his number 2, does that mean we should bring him back based off them records?

dn1982 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Wagner went into Huddersfield last November but they've not seen the fruits of his labour until this season. He had all last year to implement his ideas. Are Villa fans willing to write off this season? The attitude to RDM says not. I believe it was correct to sack RDM but I still think with a good manager we can salvage something from this season. We need to get up before the parachute payments run out or we could easily be one a Leeds. We all want the inspirational manager with a brilliant style of play but more than all that I want to be watching an Aston Villa team in 5 years not a shell of what we were. We need promotion ASAP. Let's take the safest option to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a pretty good record of doing exactly what we want the next manager to do. I don't understand the backlash, is it because he didn't have small heath and Hull playing like Barcelona?

From what I can see the majority of fans are not excited by his appointment but think it's a sensible approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
