Charisma and confidence take you so far, then inevitably you hit a bad run, if that's all you are charisma and confidence then it's hard to turn it around. We do need both of those traits but as an addition to something far more important, tactical nous and an ideology.

Bevington is making Mills look like a right tit on Radio 5 live.

It's not difficult

Even Sutton and Savage managed it.

I can't believe Sherwood's name is getting mentioned - really what does he have in his favour?

He still has a club gilet.

Totally agree. I really don't want Sherwood Part Deux. I really don't want anyone currently linked with the job.

Personally i think we offer 'Arry everything he'd want. He doesn't need the the money but he sure wants some respect going on that interview on talk sport. We just want a winning team. We hate his guts, he hates ours. Match made in heaven personally, an alliance of convenience as it where.

I really can't see him leaving his home on the south coast for us. Has he ever managed a club that required him to live elsewhere?

he's said he would manage us for free. I reckon that's bobbins probably but he'll do it no problem

I don't recall seeing that. Doesn't seem that interested here:

I'm actually warming to the idea of Spud head given some of the other names being touted about. I think he'd be decent, although I fear with his Blues connections it wouldn't take long for people to turn on him given a bad run (although some of our fans are like that with anyone!). A sad day for me and our club when Steve Bruce is a viable option for us.

"We" don't hate him, and he doesn't hate us - every time he talks on the subject he has spoken of his respect for the Villa and as I have said repeatedly, his closest friend in football was Brian Tiler. Where this supposed hatred comes from I've no idea.

Any nutter wanting Sherwood should be banned from Villa Park.
Why is his name cropping up? It's a wind up, right?

Remind me how that worked for Clough/Leeds.

if your talking about Bruce, you couldn't be more wrong, having spoken to him, when he was small heath manager, he knew who the big club was and said as much to me, imo he is "as a football manager" very professional.

For our predicament, I really don't think anyone can turn their nose up at Bruce.

sorry mate, but I'm finding it quite easy to do that

Bruce took Wigan 2 highest PL position,S'Land to 3rd highest in 60 yrs,brought Hull up on outlay of £5.5m (incl wages),stayed up + Cup Final.

I assume it's not simply the blues connection that's putting some off? That would be pathetic


you can use the stats for virtually  any of the managers linked,
 the last one had promotion and also won the champions league on his back catalogue, but he was still rubbish

Steve Bruce tired journeyman with no distinctive style of play, another one of footballs mercenary men who will come in fail and walk away with a couple of million and won't give a fuck

Plus I just don't like the bloke, I know that's shallow but that's the way it is

He was on about Redknapp, not Bruce.

I remember a few rucks where he took offence on the touchline from chants and lets face it i'm for him but i don't like him and you won't find many here who like him. I'd have him like i said. We need a guy like that.
