And to add, I couldn't care less about his past. And if we do start winning it will go a long way to debunk the nonsense surrounding TSM1. We didn't care that he had managed them. It was that it was the never ending drippings of shit negative football that was the issue.

And you think Bruce will bring winning attractive football ?

If a club that had won four games in however many matches, last away win over a year ago, spent tens of millions and have a win against Rotherham and are in 19th place in the second division to show for it,  appointed somebody who got Hull City promoted twice and to an FA Cup final (HULL CITY!) whilst having to deal with all sorts of shit from the owners was any club other than Villa there would be people on here saying what a good appointment he was.

We're 19th, we absolutely stank the Premier League out for years before finally being put out of ours and everybody else's misery, there aren't a lot of managers out there who we could choose from. It's 35 years since we were European champions. I made the point aboutHul being 'organised' as to my eyes recent Villa managers have found something so basic beyond their capabilities.

We aren't "any club other than Aston Villa" though.  We are Astom Villa. We are the biggest and richest club to ever (dis)grace this division and should have all kinds of options before appointing someone that, judging by this thread, at least half the fans consider tediously uninspiring.

I don't expect champagne football, but Hull ended last season as 4th highest scorers and GD of +34. It wasn't like they drew their way to promotion with a bunch of fist pumping 0-0's

Shit negative football is what Bruce excels in as well. Surely we haven't all forgotten his tiresome style of football in the years since he left the Sty?

He played shit negative football in the PL. I don't know that was the case in the Championship. And quite frankly if we played a bit more shit negative football at the end of games this season RDM would still be in a job and we'd be sitting in the top 3

Am coming round to Bruce, he is probably the ideal candidate where we are. Also consider that odd as it seems at this point in time but we will be his biggest club and opportunity to get his name back at the top table of English football.

While our front six haven't exactly lit the world on fire, I think given some time they will start producing. Barring Hernandez, I don't think he's ever had a strike force like ours. I think we could come good under Bruce. He's confident in his work and a pretty positive guy. We could use some of that. No more chancers.

I'l be reminding you and your campaign for Bruce mates in about six months time when we are no further forward and having to pay another twat off for not knowing what's he's doing

il be asking where are all these goals you speak of, where is this guaranteed promotion and the rock solid defence, great organisation whilst the whole thing falls down around our heads and we go again looking for the next pair of dullard safe hands

Anyone wanting Bruce at Villa should hand their heads in shame

I don't want Bruce at Villa John. But given the immediate options I'm not going to hang my head in shame at all for considering him as a viable candidate.

I think anyone who ignores his success rate in the division should question whether they are judging him for the right reasons.  I don't give a shit about 'attractive football' or not if we win a few bloody games.

I dont want Bruce but I think he will take us forward from where we are now. But I want more than that, I want us to get out of the cycle of uninspiring managers with their uninspiring brand of football and shelf life of 2 or 3 years

Bruce would not be my choice, but my point earlier was that as it looks like it will be him, we need to all back him, forget the previous clubs and style of football, at the end of the day good managers do the best to suit what they have and as long as we start to win games soon, I actually don't care how it comes at this moment, better football can come later, we just need to win

I will take shit, negative football right now if it a) gets us a win at home and away and b) somehow miraculously scrapes us into the play offs.
