I really do wonder what he was thinking to himself last year under Bruce. The training I guess a billion miles away from what he was used to, and what is being implemented now, but I imagine as captain he just soldiered on for the group. He must have known it was a farce.

Other times he would cover himself in doner meat and demand the players called him 'King Kebab'. No wonder we finished bottom of the table.

It's hard to find anything in particular to complain about when you've won 7 on the bounce. Bruce is an easy target. Hell, if we get promoted and then go undefeated next season, running away with the Premier League title, we'll still be going on and on about Potato Head around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am serious here....every Villa fan I have spoken to face to face has said to me........I think he did a good job for us....but happy with Dean Smith. That is not to be construed in to an agenda that he is better than Dean Smith, which some will try to do......2 separate issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 To a person who has achieved so much at Chelsea and ingrained himself so much in that Football Club in c17 years of involvement and not doubting his continued love of that team.....I think it is an absolute credit and the measure of the MAN how much he has taken to us and committed himself to the progress of our football club. I always had a suspicion he was like this ( I have a jaundiced approach to fake news) and am now convinced he is like I thought he was ......A Top Pro. Loved John Terry as a Footballer, Love John Terry as a Football Pro. Commitment is a wonderful Thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got us to a playoff final, which is good, the capitulation in said final was not and that was a culmination of 18 months of leadership from a manager with all the tactical nous of a walnut. The less said about this season the better, but on reflection you can say he did an OK job and I'd find it a passable opinion, depending what you think our aims were. He did the job I expected him to do in essence, he took us 'there or thereabouts'. He 'blew the cobwebs away' and taught the club how to win again, which is something. With Smith, we are aiming for more and I would say he is currently delivering, he is doing a 'good' job. Which also happens to be the job I expected him to do.
