I am only blaming/accusing him for leaking info to his press mates, something he is quite reknown for by most accounts. I am not blaming him for the new owners appointing a new manager, who is having strings pulled by some guy who apparently destroyer Blues 12 months ago.

Fairy In Boots Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Rowett got the chop for openly whoring himself out looking for a bigger role. The shit got wind and got shot, these Journalists make themselves look stupid with the moaning about Bruce, he does have a big love in from the British media.

As a petty journo he should be backing the tweet up with more. Oh, and as far as i'm aware everyone who is connected to that rabble down the road are culpable of turning them into the mess they already are.

You’re right, they always put the boot into us. They’re already miffed that we didn’t go bust. But the press love a celeb, so they’ll be all over Thierry if he arrives. Win a couple of games and they’ll be lauding Villa for such a brave and innovative move. Representatives for Wellingborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's some agent who recommended Zola and according to Moxley has undue influence. Now if it is an agent then that could account for the press stories - with that in mind I don't think these new owners are that naive, so I have a new theory, all this Henry stuff is agent guff and they've no intention of sacking Bruce.

villan_007 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Apparently he means David dein. He is a big agent connected to arsenal. He was Henry's best man at his wedding.

Yeah definitely. I'm sure our multi-billionaire owners have zero football knowledge and are happy to be told what to do by someone else. This smacks of journo's hedging their bets, which is pretty much what all of them have done since the Henry rumour appeared. I don't think I've ever seen such a scattergun approach to journalism for a potential new manager at our club. "Bruce is getting sacked, but he might not be". "Henry has already agreed a deal to become the new Villa manager, but the deal might be irrelevant as Bruce could be staying." "Bruce is getting a reprieve, but he has a meeting today to potentially not". "The owners want a management double act of Bruce and Henry". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that he didn't give everything he had to try to get us up. I do however accept that he didn't achieve that most important target but I myself do not consider we had a team that should have run away with the title. Wolves had a great season, Cardiff just kept picking up points and Fulham did a Wolves in the second half of the season so getting up was no gimme last season and the same may well be the case this season whoever we may have in the manager's job.
