We're 19th in the Championship and people are turning their nose up at Bruce because all he'll offer us is promotion.......Jesus f'kin wept!
Other fans browsing our board must be pissing themselves. It's embarrassing
It's not a question of turning our noses at Bruce..its a question of exploring all options and looking at the bigger picture. I'd settle for Bruce, it's just an appointment that I'm not overjoyed with.

We might have explored all the options, we don't know. And according to Pat Murphy, there may be a surprise in store, so take heart. Like cdbullyweefan, I'm hoping its either Pep Guardiola or Zeus.

Hmmmm... not too sure, they both sound a bit foreign to me.

Ah c'mon, Zeus would be perfect. Foreign, bearded, well regarded in Italy, and he's been in the game long enough to remember our last back-to-back wins.

But considering the attention Grealish and Agbonlahor get from the tabloids, with Zeus's massive enthusiasm for rape and incest we'd never be off the front pages.

Plus, the guy narrowly avoids being eaten by Kronos and you stick him in a room with Gabby. Talk about out of the frying pan into the fire.

Can we have Zeus as a poll option, please? He's got my vote.

Zeus is over rated, the only really major victories he had was when he had his brothers working with him.

Given our current predicament Hades would be better suited than his younger brother. He could rule the Factory of Sadness for all eternity, or as long as Ashley Westwood's contract, which is about the same length of time.

Hades is used to the lower leagues, but where's your ambition, man? A big club like the Villa should go all out for Zeus. Maybe Hercules the Lion can put in a good word?

Atlas gets my vote. Spent his whole career at the top.

I heard Zeus has an agreement under which he will only leave  his current position to go to another Planet. When asked about the Villa job he said "Not on this Earth".

Not sure he always looks like he has the world on his shoulders in press conferences.

How's Zeus meant to impose authority in the dressing room when his adultery would mean a scandal in the tabloids every other week?

Great, if we can get back up to being mediocre, then maybe we can push on and become half decent again?

Agree totally, after 6 years of shear shite, mediocrity would be manna from heaven.
