kick it off 1,952 Posted October 12, 2016 Was a popular choice to take the helm here is things had gone south with AN.Think he can save their season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,534 Posted October 12, 2016 Who knows. They had the owner to die for, a manager to die for, players to die for, money to die for...And it seemed they were actually dying[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted October 12, 2016 Villa are on a permanent downer atm so if he can get them going and promoted, he will be a messiah and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 703 Posted October 12, 2016 Always had a lot of respect for Bruce and wil always remember the header against Ipswich that knocked them out and took us to Wembley.Villa I can''t stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted October 12, 2016 A Birmingham connection isn''t very handy on a CV when applying for a Villa job. Fans don''t easily forget.A couple of defeats and he''ll be on the backfoot before he knows it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Walking Man 13 Posted October 12, 2016 Villa fans are probably amongst the most moronic in the country. If Bruce loses a couple of games on the trot early on the fans will turn and things could get ugly for them. I''d love them to go down again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted October 12, 2016 I''m with the Walking Man - nothing against Bruce and a good manager at this level but I''m not convinced he can save their season. That club is far too dysfunctional. I sincerely hope they go down again and that moronic c**t of an owner is hounded out of football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Renoir 1 Posted October 13, 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2011/nov/30/steve-bruce-sunderland-sackedHull have a great recruitment team as well.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted October 15, 2016 Patched career as a manager, but he''s had plenty of success in the Championship. I suspect this, factored with the law of averages that Villa are overdue a manager that gels the team and gets results, will be a successful appointment.
