Just back to the car.  Another terrible performance in a very long list of crap performances.  Villa fans turning on each other in the upper Holte.  All very sad.  The heat will get turned on Steve Bruce next week at Bristol City should we get beat.  It won't be pretty!

Assuming that the new owners decide that the time has come to get their own man in, who would that man be..?

Financial Fair Play restrictions might deter us from compensating another club for their manager, so who is currently available..?

Take a look at this list:
https://www.transfermarkt.com/trainer/verfuegbaretrainer/statistik

Anyone with an encyclopedic knowledge of foreign managers?

Assuming that Zidane and Conte wouldn't be interested, the recognizable names on the list (Allardyce, Moyes, Pardew, etc) don't excite me.

Wenger is a bit of an odd fish, perhaps the new owners could tempt him into doing a Benitez in the Championship..?

Away at Bristol City with Jedinak at centre-back... it definitely won't be pretty..!

Bruce should go  now - 100 games and virtually no further forward than when he took over. We need someone who will make the squad more than the sum of it's parts because it is currently operating at far less than that.

thatwas beyond egregious and worse than anything I saw under DM. Total shite - and Gayle was the striker we should have brought in on loan, quality at this level.

Slightly bizzarely we are still only 5 points behind Leeds at the top. A win today could have had a big impact but equally a change in manager can still make a big difference.

I like to think I was well educated, but egregious!, I had to look it up. Bravo Sir, first time on here I would imagine.

I'd love to know what it is that Bruce actually contributes.

He apparently spends very little time at the training ground. By his own admission, he "doesn't really do tactics".

Which leaves motivating and picking the team. And most of us could name a line-up.

He's hardly earning his millions, is he?

Shows what an average league it is this year, with no outstanding team. That's why it's important to get this joker out before it's too late.
