The stuff about pressure concerns me in this article.

The South China Morning Post are reporting that Dr Tony Xia has confirmed to them that Steve Bruce is the new manager of Aston Villa.

Bruce is expected to be officially confirmed as Roberto Di Matteo's successor today and Xia has tweeted to confirm that the news will officially be confirmed at 18.30pm by the club.

With the money we will be paying him I bet he joins in and does a wee dance!

I wanted Neil Warnock as the next manager, but Bruce has a decent track record of getting clubs promoted I wish him well.

I think the timing of Brucie coming in just right and makes sense it had to be today.  This is because all the players are back from international duty and will meet the manager tomorrow.  There was no point to bring him earlier as players not around even if he was already pre selected.  I'm hearing the announcement will be in 5 /10 or so minutes and he was always the outstanding candidate with a provern track record . Good stuff Steve Bruce now do what you do best !
