What will hurt them is having their coaching team taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's said loads of positives to be fair to him. Never heard him say a bad word about Villa, he always shows the club respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 1 minute ago, Adam2003 said: Yep much as we mostly dislike Bruce I think *at the time of the appointment* he was the right man at the right time. Went because he couldn’t get us back up but if we had appointed the wrong person then we were on our way to League One. It was the right move to bring him in, and the right move to sack him to move forward. Hopefully we will be saying that last sentence about the Smith/Gerrard transition in a couple of years. I went to Reading away on a Tuesday night. We hadn't won an away game for 15 months and we got a last minute penalty. Absolute scenes and for me it was the start of the fight back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not thrilled at all with this one. I don't see him as an upgrade on Smith at all, but I'll back him. Hopefully he gets us into Europe next season, or the board is as ruthless with him as they were with Smith when he hits a bad run of form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he did, but what league were Rangers in when he look over, what financial position were they in.

I'm not saying he's what Cruyff was to Barca but surely you can admit that he has done a good job? They finished 3rd the season before he took over. 12 points or so behind. Its nothing miraculous since he got a big budget to improve them. He just won one trophy out of 9 available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying he could fail at villa and still go on to get the Liverpool job at some point. Ive not said anything about him being the worst in the PL in 2022 - or squandering millions in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
