It is a risk, but getting new managers in has been also. I have grown very tired of the in the door and out the door culture; not just with Villa. It reminds me of Cagliari or Palermo. I remember sitting here last summer and we're all yearning for new players etc. In hindsight, would we have been any worse off than we are now even if we did despise some of players attitude after last season? The same could be said about RDM being in charge, or the wave of January transfers. Are we satisfying the excitement of a transfer/new manager akin to the purchase of the latest and greatest IPhone or whatever to satisfy the soul? My opinion is that we need to get behind the team and manager and do our best to see this through. We need some foundation/core and chopping and changing because we're all miffed after 5-6 years cannot be a continued risk to take. The risk is relegation. I said in an earlier post that we might as well give him more time as this season was gone anyway. But I now worry that he will get us relegated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Who can polish the ultimate turd that is Villa and turn them into a footballing outfit?" if only some cocky and talented manager would jump at that challenge. Totally. We should be mouth-watering for some cocky upstart looking to make their mark. Biggest team in the U.K.'s second largest city. Well supported, historic, former giants and supportive owner. It's on a plate FFS. Saunders - Taylor - Atkinson. Absolute footballing geniuses. Can we honestly mention any manager we've had since MoN (at a push) in the same breath? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Though I must say I thought Bruce got the line-up spot on (bar Bjarnason perhaps) and until they scored we were clearly the better team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going OT here, not a chance with MON, do t get me wrong he knew how he wanted to play and actually bought players that could play that way which automatically makes him better than anyone we've had since (Bruce's use of his own signings tells you everything you need to know about him) but he was heavily flawed, no plan b, incredibly stubborn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottingVilla Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'll rephrase but it's just too far fetched but a Tim Sherwood-esque kick up the arse short term injection manager? Who fits that criteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 We have bristol and Rotherham in the coming weeks and sadly under Bruce I cannot see us winning either of them. These are relegation six pointers - no other way to look at them. We need a change! Look at both goals tonight, both conceded due to poor defending from set pieces. Bruce himself was a decent centre back so if he cannot coach or instill the basics on the area of the pitch he played, what hope does he have of imparting his wisdom on attacking play? He already looks devoid of ideas, tactics and solutions. His constant switching of personnel and formations reminds me of Timmy who guessed at everything, hoping something would work. It hasn't worked, I don't see it changing and to keep him for keeping sake would be akin to burying our heads in the sand. Ultimately we have No wins this year, which includes against teams (Ipswich, forest, Barnsley, brentford et all) which were all either below or around us in the table. Shocking.

villa89 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 In relegation fight now but even Bruce should manage to keep us up. Has to be gone by next season though. He's clueless and not the man we need by a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these players that we are bringing in mentally capable enough ? Our situation is becoming a uniquely bad one which overpowers the majority of even good to average players ,,,,,and managers . Expectation , history ,,,,,,,,and hope is so heavy that I really don't know how it can be turned round . Managers and players are being totally overwhelmed by our situation , If you are talking about the fans, expectation and hope are rock bottom. We would be sky high with joy if we got a win. Expectations have never been so low, and I have been supporting this club since prehistoric times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 At this point we just need a Head Coach, not even a manager ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory would be my shout. MoN was all those things, but spiteful is the main attribute I think of with him, timing his leaving for maximum damage. It worked, hope you're satisfied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wrong before and I will be again. We're all chasing the same thing with Villa. Like you, I just want to feel like we're going somewhere. We all have that in common and we'll all still be here whoever is in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a Mourinho, Ancelotti, Koman even. But we obviously cannot get these guys so I have no idea what the answer is. We just have to hope we find a manager who can make us click. I totally agree Sadly though , the level that we're at means it really is pot luck . Wagner's doing a good job at Hudd at the moment but was his CV any more impressive than Gardes women he came to us . Pulis isnt always top 8 ! Hughton at Brightons had some awful times , Allardyce , Pardew , Moyes , Martinez . They all have a flash in the pan season or two , and if it's your club then your luck's in , but unless you find that rare nugget , then this is how it's going to be for us for the foreseeable future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Shambles at back again Picked a side to defend and left Hogan isolated though when he did get near ball his hold up play made Gabby look like Zlatan Kodjia far too deep Midfield one paced and not balanced Thor = Holman mk2 Hutton best player and thats in an attacking sense too Subs again left too late All on all another managerial masterclass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
