Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

Tom Hanks is on The One Show at the moment. Hasn't commented on the Steve Bruce appointment yet.

Potato Head's Claret and Blue army.
He always was, is and will continue to be "potato head"
in my eyes so he's going to need a sense of humour.
Come on Villa let's kick on from here!!

Good appointment. I'm feeling a bit more confident about our credentials in doing something worthwhile this season now.

Four games coming up and the chance to win as many in 15 days as we did all last season.

Good lyrics.
Doesn't really rhyme though.....?

The very best of luck Steve welcome to the best club in the land.

[levico]

Feel more comfortable with him than the last 5 appointments.

If we were a mid table prem club I would be gutted with this, as I would think it showed a lack of ambition.

But he's probably OK for where we are and where we are trying to be.

Also I've always liked the guy even when he was their boss.

He''s a good fit for where we are at mthe moment but maybe not as progressive a coach as we'd need in the long run.
Darren bent was interesting earlier as he said he was the best man manager he's ever played under. I think this is something we are desperate for.

Welcome and good luck Steve

Let's hope there aren't any brain donors protesting down at the ground this time.

[PeterWithesShin]

Welcome and good luck spud 'ead.

[kippaxvilla2]

I am just pissed off we have wasted 11 games getting him in.  Hindsight I supposed.

[JUAN PABLO]

Welcome to this Great club

Bring us a win or two Steve
Let the away fans see 3 pts
stop those late goals
stop Westy pointing
tell Gabby to stay down the KFC
play the players in the right positions
get Jack playing like he did the other night
buy a midfielder in the January window


I will be behind you 1000% and get this club out of this league like you do the others
Good Luck

I don't care who you supported as a child, played for or managed if you rejuvenate our beloved Villa I shall sing your praises to the very heavens and name family pets after you...

If we were a midtable Championship club I would be gutted with this, as I would think it showed a lack of ambition.

He may well turn out to be another name to add to the long list of tactically inept Villa managers but should Bruce last long enough to be allowed to do the Villa shopping, I very much doubt he'll forget to buy a couple of midfielders.

One thing we know, he'll give it his best. I just hope his best is good enough to get us promoted.
