If we had played with 10 men for most of the game we would have lost. That's the difference. Time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well at the risk of I told you so he should have gone in the summer, instead we kept him let him sign Elmo, Whelan and Terry and we appear to be worse off than we were in June. Palace were looking after 2 games for the new manager you would hope to god that we have irons in the fire from the international break or are the board that bloody incompetent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 There really are no reasons to wait. He should have been sacked weeks (months, really) ago but surely even Wyness must see his mate Steve can't recover from this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but for some reason I just can't see him being sacked yet. He should be but I don't think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a clearing in the woods now for telling you all to calm it down in preseason. I could never have envisioned it being anywhere near this bad. That being said, you are historically one of the more aggressively negative posters haha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in firing someone if there isn't someone better to bring in. "anyone is better than this clown" I hear you cry, like after all the sackings yet we keep plunging to new depths. Ive genuinely no idea why good players and managers almost always go shit at Villa. Possibly because the "supports" call for the axe at the first sign of trouble. From memory, the first sign of trouble was the winless run last season. Second sign was the whingeing about £££. Third sign was the signing of his old faves from years gone by. Fourth sign was admitting he picked tired and unfit players in the last match who are now injured. Fifth sign is this crappy run of form. Sixth sign will be whatever spin he puts on this shit show tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Can't be bothered to go into depth like I did on Saturday. Just go Bruce. You're a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictable (no anonymous gems), but alright. My problem is he can't put a team together with a coherent plan to win a football match. When he was signing these players, I was thinking, how will they fit into the plan? As time went on, I realised that signing a bunch of players was the plan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sam3773 Posted September 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2017 My names Sam and I went through a rough period supporting Bruce in February. Y'know, it feels really good to be here, admitting I had a problem and working my way to recovery. I want to thank you all. We'll get through this together. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 5 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: I'm not getting into a debate on this one but I completely and utterly disagree with any suggestion that the fans are in any way remotely responsible for a succession of frankly terrible managerial appointments and their failure. I think we'd agree that no player or managerial signing would be unanimously accepted as perfect, it's just human nature and it will never change. When Bruce signed for Villa its was as close to that as I've ever known, every fan, ever radio host, every pundit from all sides of the sport (even those across the city) suggested it was a perfect appointment. So from that point of view I disagree it was a terrible appointment. It hasn't worked out now, but at the time = perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if the players are being signed by Round and Wyness to be part of the "Villa Engine", and Bruce isn't doing a very good job of being the Fat Controller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 15% of the season has been played. Promotion is the only acceptable outcome this season and we are no where near on track. Did you quote the wrong person?

Good point, NV. When Churchill talked about Russia being a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma, we should check he wasn't talking about the Villa. SB's points-per-game ratio is worse this season (with more of his players) than last. Edited September 12, 2017 by Heretic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
