Re: Steve Bruce: Aston Villa Manager

The players he signed...

Reports are now that he has three games to save his job. One hopes that this is the club buying a bit of time to line up an ambitious and imaginative replacement.

Burton's victory tonight means we are now bottom of the Championship. Grim.

That should mean something to Wyness and Round, but they seem to be doing Ostrich impressions at the moment.

Sod's law dictates that we will luck a win against Norwich today, which will prop up this shameful excuse for Villa management. That in turn will leave Villa floundering in a mire of debt by next season due to unsustainable overheads. Are we condemning ourselves to becoming the next Leeds or Notts Forest?

2-0 Villa, f*ck my old boots!

Now for the half time team talk!

by **villabromsgrove** Sat Aug 19, 2017 4:56 pm

One good half and one that was worrying but ultimately productive. Bruce finally picks a team and lets it attack, but the fact that his options were narrowed by injuries probably helped him with his selection.

Where does Hutton keep the incriminating photos?

It's like he's the anti-Bruce: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leeds-united-boss-fires-warning-13604462.amp

When the time comes I hope we choose to search far and wide for our next manager.

There are some good prospects out there. You have to know exactly what you want, and tick all the criteria. Can Wyness and Round do that? Can they even identify the necessary criteria?

Does anyone know the situation with Bruce's contact? One year rolling?

by **villabromsgrove** Wed Sep 13, 2017 3:36 pm

One year rolling, so he will always be due 12 months compensation. The contract renews itself on a daily basis.

by **Sandie** Wed Sep 13, 2017 4:39 pm

I was thinking we could get rid of him for free in October. Oh well. At least we won't owe him three or four years compensation as we have with past managers.

by **villabromsgrove** Wed Sep 13, 2017 5:10 pm

He'll be straight off to the Algarve to play golf and put his feet up with his couple of million pounds compensation. The poor guy has worked so hard!

by **Sandie** Wed Sep 13, 2017 7:40 pm

We've been keeping sacked managers in Bollinger and Range Rovers for some time now.

by **villabromsgrove** Thu Sep 14, 2017 5:54 pm

He'll be buying shares in his favourite Algarve restaurant and bar.
What a brilliant reward for abject failure!

by **Sandie** Fri Sep 15, 2017 3:54 pm

Bruce has come out on the attack in today's presser.

He'll be gone in a week.
