Re: Steve Bruce: Aston Villa Manager

I hope you're right Sandie, but a win tomorrow will give him another few games in charge at least.

Could he end up being one of our least popular managers? Up there with pugface?

I'm more frustrated with Bruce than I've been with other managers purely because of the quality in our squad in comparison to the rest of the league we're playing in. We are struggling on a match by match basis against teams that are less talented than we are.
That is most definitely Bruce's fault and I struggle to understand why he is still the Villa manager. I'm annoyed with Dr T and Wyness for allowing this sad state of affairs to continue.

Aye. I haven't heard of most of Barnsley's players but in spite of our big names I'm not confident of victory.

Reading between the lines I think he's saying "hoof it to Kodjia".

Where do they get these stories from?

by **Sandie** Mon Nov 20, 2017 8:52 pm

They remember that Beckham is getting an MLS expansion team then put a load of managers' names into a drum and run some kind of Tombola to generate the story.

That sounds too accurate for the lying shower that calls themselves journo's these days! Steve Bruce: Aston Villa Manager - Page 12 3640643743

I've got a strong feeling for Aitor Karanka right now.

by **villabromsgrove** Tue Dec 26, 2017 11:57 pm

Karanka is a decent coach .... so there's no place for someone like him at Villa!

Bruce was shown up by a less talented bunch of players who were properly organised by a decent coach, but he'll carry on bumbling cluelessly away unless Dr T wakes from his slumbers.

I found this interesting appraisal of Karanka. Would our players be able to cope with this level of detail and micro management?

by **Sandie** Wed Dec 27, 2017 6:00 pm

It would be a switch to another extreme. I doubt Bruce's tactical dossiers stretch to 80 words never mind 80 pages.
