I always wonder why people keep on saying that football's a simple game when it's quite clearly not? If it were so simple, why are so many so shit at it?

Football is simple though Monty, it's only the players that make it difficult.   :)

looking at the % at the top of the thread, I am encouraged that us villa fans in the main are positive about BFS (not so fat now though with seeing him Saturday on the tv) and therefore we are intelligent enough to know that with the high profile games weve got this month "if" things don't go "our" way we are not going to start with the shit that some on here seem to be salivating for.

I'm compartmentalizing my expectations right now. I'll worry about style after we start winning games because I've almost forgotten what that feels like.

Style *helps* to win games though. That's my point.

Seeing as Bruce is out of work, you do have to wonder why this hasn't been finalised yet. 

Maybe they are holding out for Dyche.  Or Gus Hiddink.

Mr Wagner shares your point, Monty. He for some strange reason believes that the better you play, the more chance you have of winning a game.

It's the rules that are simple, and with a few jumpers and something spherical(ish) anyone can play it. Cheap and simple!

I agree, but that makes it complicated too. The rules are so open and free-form, somehow working it into something coherent and thought-through is really very hard.

Since Bruce Sunderland have done a very good impression of us for being an absolute turd of a club.
On that notion so have we since MON left, however I wouldn't want him back.

Ditto. I'm sick of seeing us fail to win every week. Someone who gets us winning some games will do for me.

Wagner may well turn out to be the next Juergen Klopp but I'd wager all those desperate for him now wouldn't have been able to name the Huddersfield manager until very recently.
