Tony's Tweets

[Jockey Randall]

I'm slightly favouring it as a pro-Brucie message. He believes Bruce with his previous promotion experience is the right man and if he improves so will the collective. I'm still really struggling to see how he turns it around though after that shower we witnessed last night.

Two clueless owners on the bounce I fear.

[brian green]

Both naive.  Both very bady advised.

We went through it before with Sherwood. Funny how we don't seem to be getting stick over it any more or Lambert or McLeish.

Tony's tweet is the 21st century equivalent of the 'vote of confidence'.

Yeah that reads as backing the manager to turn this around so unfortunately it looks as though we're stuck with Bruce for the foreseeable future. Using an ambiguous business quote to justify this decision isn't a great idea when there is so more tension with the fans and this lack of clarity doesn't really help matters. You could argue that he is being badly advised if Bruce stays in his position, however us fans clearly don't know what we're talking about so it comes as no surprise that the decision makers and sections of the media believe he should be given more time.

I have absolutely no confidence in Bruce at all...scraping a few wins here and there will keep him in his job but it won't get us promoted.

The McLeish Bolton "moment" feels like it's coming. We should have the Villa version of the Doomsday clock. The McLeish clock. Two minutes to midnight......

2 Minutes to Midnight you say?

Suitably nihilistic for the current mood too.

Seven Mins to Midnight, the Mighty Wah?

Xia needs to act now and not be worrying himself about HBO being hacked.

Sorry but it's already 10 past for Bruce.  And Dr T  you need to sack him today. 

[Clark W Griswold]

I see it as him just clarifying the fact that we are shit because the person in charge (Bruce) of the collective (the squad) is shit so therefore they are shit. I think he's basically telling him to step up his game and so will the players, concentrate on your strengths and all that type of thing. I don't think it indicates either way other than him saying 'I've noticed we're shit' which is a start in the making a change process. If we continue to be this shit for the next 3 games he'll be gone, I'm sure of it.

Edit: Mind you, it could also be referring to the experienced players as the leaders and Bruce as the executive, get your leaders to lead and raise their game and the whole team will improve, build your team and tactics around the leaders strength, don't keep changing the team etc..
Or maybe not, fuck knows really..
