I dont think Bruce is a bad choice...but after spending most of the 2000s singing songs in jest at him and now wanting him to rescue us just shows how far we have have dropped. I'm still struggling with that concept.

We probably have a few arrogant players who think they're too good for this league already, that's not working well is it ?

I don't want a big time Charlie coming in and gobbing off about he's this that or the other. I just want someone that can do his job. No more no less

Aside from the fact that we really don't if we did they'd be the players that most need the club to stop fucking about and start acting like the big club we are.

Sickbeggar so we shouldn't try and instead just go for the same old pool of shit-average managers we've been plucking from for years to such fantastic effect?


We can go for Mourinho and Wenger for all i  care. Unless we're gonna offer 15m a year in wages and 300m in funds i don't think they'll come. You know it can't have escaped your notice that while we spent 50m we didn't actually bring in a load of  top class foreign or premiership players because WE CAN'T ATTRACT THEM to a crappy relegated club up shit creek  Or pay what they want either

I think we need someone who has succeeded against relatively high expectations. Managers who have done wonders with very little expectation I fear get overwhelmed by the justified high expectations at Villa.

Yup a good point I think. Rowett has done a great job with the rabble up the road but there is so little expectation it is easy to over achieve. Having said that, Rowett does come across very well.

Wagner is a fruitless chase he won't leave a side he has top of the pile to come here. 

Bruce is just about the most obvious choice there is due to being out of work too. If Hughton fancied it he is the only better option. Wagner may be the next Klopp and he looks very impressive but it's too early for him surely.

I hope it's not Bruce
I don't think he's much good anyway,
but the fact he has spent most of his career at the two clubs I despise the most will make his ugly mug difficult to bear in our dug out

and before anyone says they don't care about the past they just want someone to come in and sort us out, I don't think he will or can he's just bland and very very ordinary

Harry Redknapp on Talksport said Sherwood shouldn't have been sacked. Then said he himself would take the job for free until the end of the season, we would only have to pay him if we got into the play offs.

Lunatic.

yep. besides i don't think RDM's players are in any way the sort of players Bruce would want to work with ideally. Or what's left of last season's squad to be honest, apart from the likes of Richards etc who would surely come straight back in

It sounds petty but I just don't want anyone as Villa manager who has Small Heath connections. Years back it was always them with the infatuation with all things claret and blue now it seems to be the other way around. I find David Wagner intriguing so I'd like us to drag him kicking and screaming to the Villa. We've probably written off this season now anyway, so let him come and build his team with his obvious work ethic and talent. And to be honest all the other names I've seen connected to the job just want to make me burst into tears.

Well he's also said Sherwood shouldn't have been sacked, so clearly he's got no idea what he's talking about.

I'd rather be managerless than have any of these twats linked. Redknapp? Fuck off you crooked melted criminal. Giggs? Vomit inducing.

I'd rather have Roger Milla, Prince Charles and an ant in charge.
