If there aren't any funds available, then the window is academic to the sacking or not of SB.

Did the fans last night chant for him to be sacked/you don't know what yer' doing? They say sackability is measured by away fans reactions, once they turn en masse, you're toast.

And it's not really just 'three games'. It's a continuation of last season's rotten form.

And a shocking pre season, I don't believe this '' just about fitness '' hype, especially as they don't look sharp. We struggled to create anything in our pre season games, no tactics too. I hope DR X takes this into account as well.

I reckon we will get an announcement around teatime, either today or tomorrow.

You really think they'll bin him now or in the next couple of days?

Well the strikes over now, so perhaps they will be round to take him away as soon as they catch up with the backlog.

I think when he swapped de Laet with Hutton I think there was "don't know what you're doing " because we were expecting a sub to try and change things. I left before the end though like quite a few others did.

He will be gone if we lose on Saturday.

So what's on page 103 Chapter 4 of Peter Drucker's book then?

Reads like Bruce is safe as houses unfortunately 😔

Peter Drucker..

Didn't he run an extremely sucessful chain of cake houses in the North Birmingham area?

Not sure I totally agree with the assessment that Bruce's on totally solid ground

"The effective executive knows it is more effective to raise the performance of one leader than it is to raise the performance of a whole mass"

That to me suggests the old adage it's easier(and cheaper)to get in a new manager than a new team

[Chris Smith]

There is still a Drucker's on Temple Row. Had a cup of tea in there last week, no Villa gossip however.

Not sure how it reads that he is safe as houses. It says get the right man in for the job that can raise the collective performances, something Bruce clearly is not doing. I think it reads the other way more.

I like your angle better!
The parts for me that read he's safe is the whole it's not the executives job to change the man and also ignoring all weaknesses unless it totally undermines the collective

I've found the page in question. Dunno how to add photos on here but you can find it by Googling "Peter Drucker Effective Executive PDF".

Unsurprisingly, it's all business speak drivel which provides no clues as to Steve Bruce's future job prospects. To my untrained eye, anyway.

I stayed until the end (albeit in the Reading end but sat close to our away support) and there was nothing I could hear. I was a little surprised to be honest but I think the goal at the end took the edge off. Plus Reading didn't score more.
