If you mean he had the funds to get the right players for promotion, I would have to agree.....more with wages though than fee's. If you are saying that we had the right players to get us promotion.....I am not so sure. So would you acknowledge this as Bruce being culpable in this ?

praisedmambo Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Can we have some kind of repetitive argument police come in and put a stop to the whirlwind starting up all over again? Just for the sake of the internet. It uses up too much internet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I think the 1892nd page just about wrapped it up, and has now provided enough for my thesis on if Bruce is the right man or not. Will read through it all again from a more calm and objective stand point and publish my findings tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect nothing and you might be surprised what you might get( i.e Cardiff as example).....its less stressful too. Have you ever heard “if you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time”? Or the advantages of setting “big, audacious goals.” ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think it is pretty obvious what Brucie’s intention is. He’s desperate to hit the 2000 page mark. I doubt even his biggest critics, me included, would deny him that historic landmark. I would imagine at that point he would retire, knowing he had written his name large across the very fabric of not only Aston Villa but the football world as a whole. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I think we may be talking about different things. When I mentioned chaos, I was thinking of an owner who claimed to be investing his own money in the club but now it seems maybe wasn’t; who has stripped the club of a top management structure; and who is suspected of selling off what he can just to keep us afloat. That sort of chaos. It seems you are talking about Bruce’s “failure” of getting us a narrow defeat in the playoffs. That was a bitter disappointment but it’s hard to see how you could call it chaos.

Villan_of_oz Posted July 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've been a Bruce in I've been Bruce out I've been Bruce in I've been Bruce out Now I don't really care, I've come to conclusion that this club & the way it is run could make Pep himself look like a clueless muppet. The other conclusion I've come to is that someone at Villa signed a contract with Devil and we're going straight to hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
