vreitti Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I honestly have no clue as to who we should bring in. I only hope it'll be someone who'll be able to set us up properly and actually be able to win a football match for once. All this talk of MON, Sherwood, Warnock, Bruce, etc., just makes me wanna stop following football altogether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I thought guidolin was harshly sacked to be honest. They had tough fixtures and I think the Swans have got a bit up themselves expectations wise. Have no problem with him being a prospective candidate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm in a position now where I think that no matter who we appoint it's just going to go wrong again soon. We just cannot catch a break at the moment. Thoroughly disillusioned with this club at the moment . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post omariqy Posted October 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 I honestly think we would be stupid not to go for Bruce. He would get us promoted. Not a long term option I grant you but we need to get back to the PL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted October 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 I have a new tactic for being a villa fan, I've just stopped caring. Don't care who the new manager is, don't care what our last result was, don't care who we're playing next and don't care where we are in the league. I don't care. Thank you Aston Villa for ruining my love of football. SOTV 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gary Thomas Posted October 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Jesus, it's getting melodramatic on here isn't it.....cheer up, could be the start of another new (possibly false but you never know) dawn.

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 From Brucey's Wikipedia: In addition to an autobiography, Heading for Victory, Bruce has published three novels, Sweeper!, Defender! and Striker!, featuring the exploits of fictional footballer manager Steve Barnes. Sweeper!, released in 1999, was described by a critic for The Independent as "surprisingly punchy and pacey, although the plot is essentially ludicrous". Time for chapter 4 Steve, Stinker! Steve Barnes takes charge of a struggling Championship side, with a dwarfish defence and no midfield, and guides them to the playoffs! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was under Lerner TBF, and RL would have given RDM the whole season to turn it around. If it is Bruce it will be done pretty swiftly IMO.

sexbelowsound Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I am surprised Guidolin was sacked. I watched the games against Liverpool and Man City and they played very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'd take Bruce or Warnock or even Mick McCarthy to be honest. I'm being serious. Don't want to gamble on someone like Dean Smith or Lee Johnson based on 11 good game, and think Rowett would be doomed to fail here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Given Dr Tony's comments about only only RDM being available last summer (Pearson says hi) - Then surley that means we are only looking at out of work managers - on that basis the Job is as good as Brucey's, so long as he is happy with the set up..... Would we not just loose him to england in the summer though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moustache of Teale Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I know people are saying let's not go for someone just because they are available, but for me Bruce would have been one of the more obvious, if uninspiring choices even if he were still at Hull. Couldn't give a flying **** that he's managed Blues before. Or that he looks like a potato. Got the right credentials and CV for the immediate task ahead and will turn us into an organised outfit. Just do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we not just loose him to england in the summer though ! Don't think he quite said that, just said 'limited time and choices'. Moyes was interviewed, Pearson was clearly available too. However he did only seem to be going for out-of-work managers as you say, but it could be different this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
