This is the guy who, arriving at Bodymoor Heath on his first day, was given his new Macbook Pro but explained that he "wasn't into all that stuff". He was told he needed to use a laptop to use the club's systems for scouting, email etc. Before the week's end, he called the IT department out to Bodymoor because his screen "isn't working properly". IT manager arrives and there's only Tipp-Ex on the screen where he's been trying to amend his typos 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLVillan Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Don't get me wrong, Bruce is not a favourite of mine, but I don't get all the ill feeling and insults. He was brought to our club when we were an absolute s**tshow both on and off the field. A broke, dishonest charlatan of an owner, a succession of "executives" who didn't have a clue what they were doing and a group of players (they weren't a team) that was led by an out of condition "captain" who had rebelled/downed-tools against a succession of managers. If we had continued on the trajectory that existed before his arrival we'd probably have finished up in League One and the investment by Wes and Nas would never have happened. He wasn't great and some of his decision making was bizarre to say the least, but he did at least stabilize things to the point of getting us to a play-off final and brought in a few players that served us well. SJM from Hibs was perhaps the deal of the lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a terrible manager, who played awful football and never understood the club, nor the fans. He managed and talked like we were small club underdogs in the freaking championship. If anything, him losing that playoff final might have been the biggest blessing in disguise in retrospect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Stabilised the club by bringing in vastly experienced and expensive players on 70k a week. **** genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted November 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2023 For all his "stabilisation", some of the worst Villa games I've ever watched were under his stewardship. There was a game against Reading in 17/18, as well as the numerous hammerings at the hands of Brentford, one in particular where we got completely manhandled by a ginger Barry Bannan in midfield, and of course the playoff final. The really annoying thing about Bruce was he acted like he was our saviour and that there was nobody out there who could do better because of his handful of promotions in the Oughties. In hindsight, I'd wager there were plenty of managers who could outperform him and the crap, outdated football he played that was straight out of his aforementioned successful era. In fact, his successor was just such a person. Another name you could throw in there was Neil Warnock who finished above us with Cardiff City in 2017/18, which was quite embarrassing in all honesty. But nothing quite tops the embarrassment of watching your team seemingly play for a draw in the playoff final, even while being 1-0 down. He should have resigned after that, but instead he came back more belligerent than ever, sniping at the fans and having his attack dog of a son do the same on social media. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
