useless Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) I had a look on Owlstalk recently and they had a thread titled 'the team that Bruce built', they were basically trying to give him credit for getting us promoted. They seem to forget that Bruce wasn't playing half of them, the others he was either playing out of position or had sent out on loan. Also at Wednesday he won't have anywhere near the backing he had here to sign players. Edited June 2, 2019 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rodders0223 Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 Basically tried to gaslight an entire fan base. I remember watching pre match press conferences when we were actually doing well. There was little commotion about his tenure and he would still be talking utter nonsense that wasn't even occuring about being under pressure and not being accepted. I would then attend the game, good atmosphere, high spirits, we were winning most weeks then. I would hear the entire Holte cheer his name and ask for a wave. I would sit right next to the dugout and hear every single person back him and support him. Then the next pre match it was exactly the same. Fans allegedly against him. WHAT THE **** WAS HE TALKING ABOUT? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to a point where when he was getting decent results he was keen to rub it in the fan's faces, total word removed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ingram85 Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 I don't like him. He is about Steve Bruce and Steve Bruce only. He didn't give a toss about stitching us up at the end to save his own sweaty water injected half cooked bacon. The bloke is a walking Suet Pudding that's only been half steamed. Doughy and wet. With not much gravy and due to being half steamed he is still a bit gritty. Leave him and his self trumpeting to it. Blobfish. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Rumours are he wants to sign Lee Barry Cattermole from Sunderland for Sheff Wed. Cattermole is absolutely atrocious and on around £60k a week at Sunderland. Edited June 12, 2019 by Villan4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 he's 31, the biggest problem would be he would want a career ending contract, 3-4 years in length so not only do you have to stump up his high wages you have to stomach his decline (from a not particularly loft peak...) and if they did somehow get promoted next year they would be stuck with him in the PL if bruce wants an experienced CM he would be better off trying jedinak, Whelan or even barry on a 1 year deal, better players and less risk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I don't have anything against him and hope he goes on to do well at Sheff Weds. I suspect he'll be thereabouts in the 12th-6th range next year and may even get into the play offs. The truth is that hes been left behind by younger and more progressive thinking coaches. Hes one of a dying breed along with Warnock / Allardyce etc.. who can gee up the lads but don't offer much more than that. Thankfully the merry go round of these old school managers is coming to an end now. He steadied the ship for us at a time when we were spiralling out of control so we can all thank him for that as Villa fans and as we stand right now I think losing that playoff final last year was the best thing for us in terms of going forward.

Tomaszk Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Yep, that sounds about right. Waster signing a waster. Cattermole FFS. Can you imagine. He'll be gagging to comment on us if we're struggling next season. So glad we went up, thought he'd managed to cost us but we were just too good. He built nothing. He damaged us badly. He ruined the chance to have an enjoyable season by refusing to play football. Can't wait for his next failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best player we've signed for a decade or longer, and he only cost £2.5M. But Bruce did nothing but harm right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
