Villan_of_oz Posted September 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2017 I honestly don't care for hearing Bruce talk anymore..... Clichéd bollocks, with a big spoonful of disdain for fans. Once you start naming the fans as part of the problem you have past the point of no return. Who pays your wages Bruce? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted September 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2017 I should stop watching the interview, But how has mass hysteria engulfed the club very quickly? Its not mass hysteria, Just the mass has realised you're not good enough to manage Villa. Move along Bruce! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 He has some neck trying to turn it back on the fans. He's a desperate man now. 7 points from 7 games is a disgrace, let's call a spade a spade. If i was heckingbottom id be telling barnsley start fast. Villa are shot on the confidence front under bruce and we fold quite easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the fans were good against Middlesbrough. He is having a dig at the social media culture and phone-ins, why should Bruce have to put up with being labelled a dinosaur or potato? He doesn't deserve personal abuse like this, judge him on results and performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you know that the "Dinosaur" refers to his Footballing Management/Tactical ability, and not short arms, a tail, or wings. The potato thing is something which has been said for years in jest. I don't see anything wrong with "Dinosaur" comments. Would you be more comfortable with Draconian? Vintage? Antique? Stale? Aged? Spoilt?Curdled?

He doesn't deserve personal abuse like this, judge him on results and performances. Hang on you're taking the worst comments said about him to defend him. The vast majority of social media and phone ins just don't want him here. I don't think its personal abuse either to call him a dinosaur or a potato, it might not be very nice but personal abuse is hyperbole. Ive been coaching sport for over ten years and I've been called worse and at times thought it was pretty funny. If Bruce is that sensitive then it's another reason for me to think he isn't up to the job. Judge him on results and performances? Ok results - not good enough, performances - too inconsistent. Bruce OUT Edited September 15, 2017 by Villan_of_oz I've been called foghorn leghorn before because I don't shutup when I'm coaching, I'd never thought of it as abuse though.

Bruce OUT Bruce has received a lot worse at grounds over the last 40 years I think, but he is responding to personal crap like the above. Everybody has emotional outbursts during games, but social media and phone-ins go too far IMO - people do lurch from crisis to crisis on social media/forums - I agree with Bruce about the hysteria. There was talk of buying inflatable dinosaurs on twitter, I mean come on! What next - supporting the opposition? Oh wait..... Bruce has every right to defend himself against this type of personal abuse, I hope it gives him added motivation to prove people like that wrong.

I don't think he is fearing the sack considering the content of his latest interviews. He is however fearing the damage done to his reputation hence the amount of excuses to the media before the axe falls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
