Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[Toronto Villa]

Close to the bottom of a list of things I hope to enjoy from this appointment is noses being massively fucked off with their former manager getting us promoted. But I will enjoy it nonetheless.

Welcome to Villa Park Mr Bruce. You've got a massive job ahead of you, turning this burning oil tanker around. I don't give a fuck you managed the unwashed. Just do your job and get us promoted please.

[The Edge]

Doctor Tony went to Rome to drop off Di Matteo bought us back potato head cos now he is okayo.
Welcome to the Villa Steve. Good luck.

[Small Rodent]

I'm going to call him Stevie B.

For those Villa fans who absolutely hate the thought of us employing an ex-blues manager (and let's face it, we have some pretty obsessed fans ourselves) that is one way of looking at it and a reason alone to get behind him.

Welcome To The Madhouse. Immediate Priority. Not Promotion, Not Europe. Just start sorting us out so that we actually win a game or two. You'll be my hero for life !

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I want to see Steve Bruce doing a David Pleat* across the St Andrews pitch as we stuff 5 past them


*Idiotic dance in a light beige suit and not kerb crawling.

I don't buy into these comments about there being something deeply wrong about the club.
That was Randy Lerner and the appointments he made.
The only thing that is wrong with the club now can be fixed by a good manager.
Steve Bruce will fix that by getting us some wins.

[PaulWinch again]

Welcome Steve win us a lot of games please.

[CT Villan]

I'm going to apologise in advance...

Tony Xia jumped in his car to drop off Di Matteo
Whilst journeying home from beautiful Rome he spied a big blue whale
He did deduce that it was Steve Bruce munching on a carrot
Though he was blue something was missing too - clearly it was the claret.

Welcome Steve and good luck.

[VILLA MOLE]

Good appointment for me, welcome Steve.

Bruce or Clarke or McClaren?

McLaren about to sign on at  Derby, allegedly........Godzvilla!

Bet they are chuffed to bits

[Dazvillain]

Still no official release ?

Apology accepted. Can't really see the Holte singing "whilst" 😉

I'm delighted to be here

Pick worselves up, dust worselves doon....

The atmosphere has always been fantastic when I've played or managed here
It's a great honour.
It's a hard task / challenge but one I'm looking forward to .
Back to where this football club belongs
It wasn't a hard decision.
A lot of hard work to do.

Not going to be easy but i believe I can do it
