Remarkable. If he somehow manages promotion from here he will have earned a run in the Premier League, we would not be sacking him unless he we had a disastrous start to the season. If he gets us promoted he will have earned his wages and no doubt a significant bonus. if we then sack him he will have earned a pay off. If we get promoted, plenty of our players will be treated the same way. It is self evident that certain managers and players can excel in the championship but are not good enough for the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have Bruce people are not happy about his Blues connection that was 10 years ago but he is actually a fairly successful manager (in context). I don't get it. Bugger all to do with his Blues connection. Obviously many on here failing to see the bigger picture. But hey, who am I to argue against any one member of the Bruce brigade. -Que the petty responses and the clique of likes to go with!- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BOF Posted October 12, 2016 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've read loads and loads of people on here and on twitter saying that people should shut up about who he used to work for and that it doesn't matter, and that people need to grow up and move on. Yet at the same time I've seen very very few people; if any; actually complaining about who he used to work for. It's like people are trying to pre-emptively hush a storm that hasn't arrived. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont give a **** who he managed, have laid out my reasons before. I just dont like him and its a lot longer than because he managed a tin-pot club 10 years ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatecrasha Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Is Bruce an improvement on RDM- yes-100% On Tactics Tim -100% On McLeish -100% on Lambert - yes but not 100% Happy as a pig in Sh 1 t with this appointment. Don't care that he managed at the STY many years ago. He talks sense, which is a step up on RDM, Garde, TS, lambert and McLeish. As for his dealings in the transfer market, I think we have a structure in place where transfers are not the sole domain of the manager. We haven't exactly been successful in the market in years and moving forward this responsibility will rest with Steve Round. Even in the summer the 4m we gave Palace for Jedinak is looking like 3m too much. So all round transfers need to improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that, in the same season, he managed to set up his side to beat a Liverpool team with Gerrard in it and Suarez in attack? You're right though. He's wank. Because of that game with Weimann and Bowery and Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2016 And to add to my point above, I think it's to the fans' credit that that's the case. The fact that our discussions and disagreements are about his abilities as a manager at Villa is exactly the way it should be. No doubt the meeja will try and spin the usual line and whip up another false perception that keeps them regurgitating their go-to narrative for the duration. Yawn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
