Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted July 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) To be honest as much I want a change it’s a very sensible decision by the owners at this stage of pre season. Too late to make rash decisions. Edited July 25, 2018 by Vive_La_Villa 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think we will hear a bit more tomorrow, or after the game tonight on the plans before the transfer window closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa_Vids Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Time to get behind Brucie and the boys. 3rd time lucky? I certainly hope so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of games were played without Jack, he was missing in several of the games he played in. Also MOTM in a few. But I would rather lose him than Chester. I expect little change without him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not long now till the mass hysteria remarks are being banded about. I am mildly pro Bruce but I do hope he learnt his lesson with that "hysteria" crap. As his mate Mick McCarthy learnt nobody gets a pass on insulting the fans. Football managers get paid a lot of money to act professionally, football fans pay a lot of money and have every right to (reasonably) criticise the job a manager does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Maybe Henry wanted too much money. Well it's in his own hands now, mess it up and he will be out the door. All we can do is support him until it becomes impossible to support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The one solace I have is I knew the guys we have in charge now have too much not to succeed, if we don't do it this year we will do it eventually. I enjoyed last season on the whole, home games especially. We were winning most weeks, it was great. Even a dogshit 1-0 against Bolton I can go home happy. The only thing in the back of my mind was that I knew it was all or nothing that season, that everything rested on promotion. It got stressful. If it wasn't for that I would have been quite content tbh. Bruce gets one more shot, we will win a fair few games this season. Whether we go that extra step remains to be seen, but guys, we were days away from implosion. I am relatively content right now If Bruce doesn't do the business, someone else will. These guys are serious players, not some idiot winging it. We will get there. Doing a Venky's and ripping up all stablity just for the sake of it would have been silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted July 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2018 Well, we need a better start than the one we got last season. Love to know what the new guys and Bruce established as this season's targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% convinced this is a pragmatic decision. He’s not been given a free pass. As an aside, a change in Manager would’ve been no guarantee of better football ! surely the owners would have done their research and realised he has shown no evidence of this in his managerial career? genuinely can't remember a young player he has brought through in any of his roles, and although we played good stuff in very limited patches last season (when he had the best squad he has ever had to work with in relative terms), he has never played decent football for a prolonged period wanted change (not Henry), but now where stuck with Bruce he has my passive support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Phew Not that I didn’t want a change in manager this summer. But it’s too close to the start of the season and I certainly didn’t want Henry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Perfect for Bruce too, he already convinced fans the squad wasn't good enough last year, because we sold players we didn't need and he bought a team with the money, so he will love knowing he has a ready made excuse this season for his second failure in two years (not getting promoted this year). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bruce had previously talked about wanting to buy 5-10million squid young up and coming players - maybe they've said this is now possible. All eyes on transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bruce is now the most under pressure manager in the championship, he has to start well. Even if the owners don’t react straight away the noise to get him out would be relentless if we don’t start well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
