He'd been out of front line management for how long? And, as it proved, with good reason as his health couldn't take it. Lambert was a logical choice in my mind. No-one could have predicted the abomination he became.Mr Houllier was a stella manager, ie he had got form, and imo if not for his health would have got us right. the rest of the managers have been utter tosh, I don't feel we can fuck about, Bruce is a safe shout.

every manager we've appointed since mo'n except Mr Houllier have at best been out of left field, wagner read lambert, The job is to big for them,Steve Bruce is the safe pair of hands to get us promoted, give him a contract based on that, with a Brucie bonus for reaching the holy grail. and depending on how he achieves promotion the first offer of an extension to his contract.
i think the thing is with Bruce is this would be his biggest job. He has a good record of promotion on limited resources . I think that affects the style of play. If he had been able to go and buy more quality , perhaps the playing style would be different . If he does come, this would probably be the first time he has an expensive squad

If he does come, this would probably be the first time he has an expensive squadHis sides get worse the money he spends.He did a good job at Sunderland in 09/10...then spent 11m on Connor Wickham and was sacked a few months later.Same at Hulll...got them up, kept them up and to a cup final on limited resources and then relegated them after spending 30 odd million in summer 2014.SHA was also the same.I'd probably sum up my thoughts by saying I'd be o.k with him managing us in the championship and reckon he'll get us up in 18 months but I wouldn't be overjoyed at the prospect of him spending 50m in the prem and would hope Dr Tony would be ruthless and look for an upgrade.
My guess is we'll stick it out with Clarke for a few weeks until Moyes gets sacked at Sunderland then Wyness and Round will call their old Everton mate to take the Villa job.
