Seems like we've got a guy because he's available and not because he's necessarily the best man for the job.

An ex Birmingham boss - what can go wrong?

We go again.

No-one's wanking themselves silly at all. Do calm down.

You do spout some nonsense. Who exactly is "wanking themselves silly"?

It seems to me most recognise it as a pragmatic choice for the position we find ourselves in. If we were top half of the PL I doubt we would look at him but for a side with one win and hovering above the Championship relegation places it is a good fit.

He's the man now so I'll get behind him. Being positive, I do think he's a good bloke and he's the sort of manager that fans can really rally behind. We've not had that since MON.

Just win some football matches and he'll be fine.

How is that bitter?

Krulak also said we'd be in the Champions League by now and to trust Randy - I don't know if football knowledge is his strong suit.

I was against Sherwood, Di Matteo and McLeish from the start, our club is too big and important to not have a suitably strong manager. I do respect your happy clappy viewpoint however. Let's see.

Give Clarke the job interim and wait to see what opportunities arise over the season? Allerdyce?

There is far more sense behind this appointment than the appointment of McLeish, which was insane. There is no comparison between the two.

What we need right now is to stop falling down the leagues, and Bruce has all the experience and attainment under his rapidly shortening belt to achieve that.

I'm sure the vast majority of right thinking Villans will be behind him.

Solid if a little uninspiring....no frills, bit of stability, knows the league inside out, won't take any shit, will hopefully get these lot playing in a formation that suits them....rather than them trying to suit a formation.
