Did you write the text book on constructive dismissal? That's pretty much a perfect definition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whether they have settled for a payment which would make a cd claim pointless, I suppose. But lining up a new manager behind the back of the existing one with a view to sacking him when convenient is a way of operating which i would not support. None of us would want to be treated that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought Steve Bruce would make grown men want to pull their plods. I am happy if he's going to be our manager... but not that happy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea had barely time to sack their manager before Bradley was behind his desk. I assume it's because XIA actually did it with a heavy heart, I really don't think he wanted to sack RDM, but could not allow any more slip ups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Glad we are getting in Steve Bruce, he will know what kind of players are needed to get out of Championship. Already wants to raid Hull and get Elmohammady..Yes please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. I think he wanted a manager who he felt comfortable to put faith in and fully support, and that is probably what he is looking for most in the new man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA_Villa Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I don't believe the Dean Smith interest has gone away. Remember Pat Murphy said there were two incumbent managers they were interested in yesterday, and they were deciding if to contact their clubs. We don't know if this has happened yet, or is likely to happen. I suspect they still have interest otherwise why not offer it to Bruce now?

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hope it's announced tomorrow to give him couple of days with the squad. Won't really be able to have much influence in such a short time but trying to impress the new manager should hopefully get us a win against wolves.

Murphy has been constantly a few days behind developments, this is done and dusted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well in my humble opinion and for what it's worth - Bruce will end with inglorious failure in around 12-18 months. Why oh why can we not get it right for goodness sake. I want a young manager with a villa connection and if it needs an old head be it Rednapp/ Hoddle/withe/souness, alongside him I would not care one jot. Bruce no thanks - totally underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
