Because we've had a series of shit managers. It's not that hard to understand. 

Bruce wasn't a shit manager when he joined, he was considered by many/most as the best person we could attract to the club and a specialist at promotion.

I think he will have lost me too if we don't do something against Reading.

Can't blame Xia or Little or Taylor for hiring Bruce, I bet if fans had a vote on it at the time 90%+ would have said it was the right thing to do.

So it's just our bad luck that he's turned out crap?

I don't think so.

Bruce needs to go, he's been given too much time if anything and it's just going to get worse. We desperately need to replace the whole coaching & management team with the right people (someone ambitious, adventurous, determined and clued up, someone who actually knows what attacking football is!!).

I think we should take advantage of certain situations now, act fast and go for Jokanovic. Or go all out for Benitez or even Rodgers. Before it's too late...

It's about time we stopped being negative and restricted and show everyone what Aston Villa FC is all about, we should be going all out, all guns blazing and blow the majority of teams away at this level!!

I am sick to the back teeth of the shit we have had to endure for far too long!

I don't see the point in waiting, why lose more games?

Get him out

3-0, but really should have been 7. 

There is nothing good from us at all, all afternoon. I am fed up of no plan, no style, no invention, no composure, no coherence, no clue. Wrst performance in Bruce's tenure by some distance actually. 

They aren't playing for him, he doesn't know what he's doing. He has had long enough. Bin him off as soon as possible. That was a **** tragedy of Olympian proportions. We gain nothing from waiting any further. 

Onomah is our best player and he isn't our player. 

And the only reason that's the case is because he hasn't been Brucified yet.

??? That's not what I said at all, I said at the time it was pretty unanimous it was a good appointment.

Sure, but it wasn't a good appointment, was it? And who is to blame? The fans who said it was a good idea?

You can only blame the person responsible for making the decision.

If Xia brings Messi in next week and he only scores 5 goals all season is it Tonys fault for signing him?

 

[Ikantcpell]

Bruce is a joke, sack him before he ruins another season.

And why is agbonlahor still playing for Aston Villa? 

I dont wanna see that lazy **** in a villa shirt ever again.

I like the good Dr as well as the next man, and I sympathise with the situation he finds himself in, but that's two poor managerial decisions he's made. I don't see how anybody can say otherwise.

[villaglint]

Haven't seen the game so I won't comment further as it sounds awful. 

Before the game I said to my dad that Bruce's faith in Gabby will end up getting him sacked. Looks like that will turn out to be true.

[TheStagMan]

WTF just happened?

You seem to be missing the point, Dr T can only make decisions on the facts at the time. At the time steve Bruce was the standout candidate considered by most as perfect for the job. Now, it hasn't panned out as planned of course but that is with the benefit of hindsight. Dr T, Little, Taylor, fans, pundits all felt it was good at the time. You cannot blame the appointment as at the time he seemed a perfect fit. He was even already living locally. 

[ReasonforRevolution]

Consistently worse in the second half. Which is some achievement considering how bad we were in the first half. Bruce lost the battle of the dinosaurs. 

[Jimzk5]

Same old shit on a different day.

Bruce out.

[BigJim]

@genie

It's a very reasonable point.  But I'm  not so sure everybody thought it would be a good appointment.  You are unlikely to have pundits coming out and saying they thought SB was past it. Those who thought he would struggle maybe kept their mouths shut. There were certainly a fair few supporters who were anti from the start, having seen the football Bruce sides play.

Anyway, at least we can agree it hasn't worked out.

you are right Jim, but too many mouths are shut at times, protecting their fancy little jobs.

somebody at B6 must know something about whats happening here......this is not normal.
