I'm saying we should get behind the new manager considering he hasn't even managed a game for us. It's just common sense. Is that really such an abstract concept for some?

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted October 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2016 Not happy at all with boring Bruce. We should have gone for a 'sophisticated' Frenchman, or a suave 'Italian, or a cocky brash Englishman who talks the talk. Of all the things I would take right now, it is tried and tested, boring and reliable, no fooking messing about...Stevie Bruce. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that we should all support him and stop posting any criticisms. For me that would involve pretending something I don't beleive - I merely asked to what effect. Why not ask to close the thread altogether if you can't bear any criticism of Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 4 minutes ago, StefanAVFC said: What? No I'm not, not even close. I'm saying supporters should get behind the new manager because it's common sense to get behind him until he shows anything to prove otherwise. Common sense based on what? Again I highlight mcleish who was arguably a more successful manager than Bruce..... yet nobody (and I imagine you were the same but I'm asking out of respect) got behind him.

StefanAVFC Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I can bear criticism, Jesus Christ. But how about waiting before he's done anything as the Villa manager before it? He's literally done nothing yet. Also: 3 minutes ago, Keyblade said: You don't have to pretend to think he's great to get behind the manager.
