If they intend to sack him they need to stop letting this drag on. I think he is staying personally Don’t see any likelihood whatsoever of him staying but I agree there is no point prolonging this - there are players contracts to address and transfers loans etc to deal with . Xia put out a statement alluding to major changes and the uncertainty around the club is no good to anyone . ‘If as reported Bruce has heard nothing from the club about intentions , plans , budget or his own future then I feel sorry for him - the leadership at the top of this club is sadly lacking at times .

That has not been confirmed by anyone at the club, but Bruce is stuck in limbo and wants to address the matter urgently with the Villa hierarchy, even though he is supposed to be on holiday." I think he is goner myself. Over a fortnight? Must be using the Steve Bruce calendar, he’s only been with is six months you know 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think most football people are now on holiday, unless they’re involved in the World Cup. So even if Villa want to get on with changes that they wish to implement, those involved, players, coaches, decision makers etc are on the beach. Patience is not one of my stronger qualities, but I think we just have to wait until normal business is resumed. Cue the big announcement!!

srsmithusa Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I think he's a goner, but I don't think they know what the new strategy or set up or personnel is going to be. Until you settle on a plan, you would be advised not to burn the bridge behind you. I'm not ITK, but next fat, bald guy I see, I'll ask him if he thinks this is right. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
