Supervillan78 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I'd rather keep Bruce than get Moyes or Allardyce. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Imagine sacking Bruce and bringing in Moyes. What a shitshow that would be. I'd take a break from Aston Villa if that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mere thought is unbearable. I doubt it to be fair. I think the Dr. has learned alot more about football since he has been here. He has expressed admiration for certain coaches and managers methods in the past. If we went for a "Dinosaur" it would totally be down to him caving in to the likes of Wyness.

You have a point regarding Wyness. I think Wyness has done a decent job as CEO, in respect to making us a properly run football club again. However his experience, like Steve Bruce’s are generally old school. If we continue to make predictable and safe option decisions then that would point at Wyness pulling all the strings. Tony is a young guy with young ideas, his CEO should reflect and carry out his plans along more progressive lines. If Wyness can’t do that then I’d hope Tony finds someone who can. The next managerial appointment or not, should give us some idea where we’re heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I bet allardyce would get us up. Quite frankly the football under Bruce has been shit, but had we gone up, all would have been forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I see Allardyce as a better version of Bruce. But I doubt he’d come with us making big cutbacks this summer. He’ll get another Premier League job at Christmas when someone panics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) First time I have commented on this thread as I'd not contemplated us looking for another manager until today so I really wouldn't have a clue who we should go for. Dean Smith seems to be well favoured and he has done a great job at Brentford and the four times I have really watched them under him, when they played us, they have played some lovely football. My worry is that managing Walsall and Brentford is light years away from managing Aston Villa in terms of expectation and pressure. I'd have that same worry about any of the young, promising managers at smaller clubs who have done very good jobs. If Bruce is to be replaced though I'd rather go down that route than go for a manager who has been round the block a few times as if we are going for experience/ been there and done it we may as well stick with Bruce.

Nabby Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If we go for exp I'd take Big Sam ,football wouldn't be great but he gets results and is tactically mure astute than Bruce IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory and Lambert were both brought in from smaller clubs - Gregory was a superb appointment and in the context of how well his successors have managed Lambert was a good appointment too. Both managed the pressure of a big club as well as if not better than much more experienced appointments. Would be delighted for us to take a punt on someone like Smith; I think the uncertainty of how well he'd do would make for a much more exciting season than if Bruce stayed - even if they were to achieve the same.

Keyblade Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I would absolutely take Allardyce, he's like an upgraded Bruce. I can't remember a job that he actually failed. Never got relegated from the PL or failed to get promoted from the Championship to my recollection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
