Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[nodge]

More Steve Bruce at weddings hopefully.

[martin o`who??]

Welcome Steve, forget his connection with small heath - didnt a certain Peter Withe play for them before us as well and that didn't end up too badly did it??.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Welcome to the biggest job of your life Steve.

Let's hope we have a new manager bounce (not calling him a fat bastard!) starting this weekend...and the following 4 games are all winnable fixtures including the game against the Blue Scum.

Nice theory. Blues game will be tough

Good appointment. Some people need to get over the fact he managed blues 10 year's ago.  Go get em Steve if we can beat the dog heads the weekend I'll be happy

The only people who seem bothered about him having managed Blose are those that keep stating that we shouldn't care that he managed Blose.

[FrankyH]

Surely it'll be a bit weird for him considering we always shout potato head every time he's in the dugout against us.

Will we continue to say it, only now in a more affectionate way?

"Potato heads, claret & blue army!"

"We love Potato Head, we love Potato Head " ?

Not me mate. I've seen a lot of comments about it

I would hope that we start showing him a bit more respect now. There are some really stupid twats out there that are hung up on the fact that he is ex blues and will be waiting for the first opportunity to turn on him. If things dont go well I can even imagine saturdays post match thread being full of blue nose this and potato that. The club, team and fans need to get behind him.

Regardless what you think of him, It takes massive balls to come into this club in this state. Conceivably, we could go down and end his career as a credible manager.

Back on track, this is the best appointment we could have made and for once we have made the right choice (i think) . Well done Villa, good luck Steve

You obviously dont frequent Twitter!? honestly, its amazing what can be achieved by giving stupid people a soap box to air their opinions

[cdbearsfan]

Fair enough. I'm not in Twitter. I was basing it on what I read on here.

[Nunkin1965]

Best of luck Steve. 

Welcome to the best football team on the planet.
Go down in Villa history as the man who got us roaring again.

[OzVilla]

Good luck Steve, it this works out it'll be the best managers job you've ever had.

[Villafirst]

Dr Tony went to Dorridge
In a new Sazuki

[l_mckay]

Brilliant appointment I think.lets get right behind him and get us up that table.

[Tony Erdington]

BFS Claret and blue army

[passport1]

Who knows at this stage? Perhaps he will be an inspired appointment. Can't see it myself though.
