foreveryoung Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) It was an inexperience board that signed Bruce. They did not see the change, that Championship winners now are quality footballing sides, not old skool grafters like a few years ago. Even we are beginning to see it now, the board though, should have seen it before. Ideally with money to spend, they should have built a more 'Premiershipy' side like Wolves, an gone for a dynamic tactical manager, not someone to just steady the ship an bore the F*** out of us. Problem being when, or if we get promoted, alot of the squad will need changing, including the manager.

Genie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 2 promotions in 5 years isn’t it for Bruce, but you know better? Ok then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turned over the incredible Wolverhampton Wanderers who are shining of example of how a club should be run with a coach light years ahead of ours. Well you and I finally agree on something. Their coach (and manager) ARE light years ahead of ours. Only you can watch our play for the past 12 months and believe that sentence is sarcasm. I don’t.

mykeyb Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Manages by numbers, win and he keeps the starting eleven, doesn't react to what's going on on the pitch. When he loses he tweaks the starting eleven. Couldn't have us playing like Wolves if he could cherry pick his team and was given a whole pre-season. I doubt he will get us into the top 6 to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in his first job after getting the boot from Porto he’s had a good start to the season (lost 2 in 12) and you’ve concluded he’s light years ahead? Fickle...? Wolves front line were great yesterday, can’t deny that. Next you’ll be saying Bruce is a dinosaur without any experience at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see their movement, their one touch passing......we cannot even take a decent throw in because our players are static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first results were an improvement over RDM’s but then he made multiple blunders. He reacts too slowly. He plans and thinks too conservatively. He misuses the talent he has, and is more likely to miss promotion than make it. Same things I’ve been saying for months actually. The recent run was great. But wolves was not a one off. It was a return to the same problems. For me the recent run bought him two matches. He bottled the first. Its nonsense to pretend it’s a risk to replace him but no risk at all to stick with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a manager who has shown to improve a side better in 12 matches than another has with his side in 12 months is light years ahead. You're just trolling now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Field Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The match against Wolves at least proved one thing, you must have champioship experience to succeed. Experience over quality, whoop whoop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 4 hours ago, Genie said: Well this sums it up for me, because Steve Bruce being appointed Villa manager at that time was possibly the most universally agreed perfect appointments I’ve ever known. Experienced, respected, huge success at doing exactly what we want to achieve, oh yeah and available, living in the area and wanting to join. It was perfect. No idea how it could possibly be regarded as a mistake from the start? I suggest you reread this thread again, another uninspiring appointment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell and you may be right, but for me it’s far too early to come to the conclusion Wolves have a manager “light years ahead” of us. We’ll see in time.
