Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[SashasGrandad]

Dear Mr Potato Head

Please try to get us promoted - but if you can't do it this season I would settle for an FA  cup win to compensate.

The best thing about Bruce joining Villa is I get to trot out my anecdote about the time he stopped me and asked me for directions to the A&E Department in Selly Oak Hospital (this was so long ago that Selly Oak had a hospital). I checked the news that night but there were no reported training ground injuries to any Blues players. That's about it with my story. I know it's not much of an anecdote.

I spotted him in the Boot in Lapworth in 2003, it was the nose that gave it away

A man of taste horologically speaking. Steve is wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Dual Time. A proper connoisseur's watch.

Spooky  I thought exactly the same and wondered if anyone else was as anal about timepieces

Is it the sort of watch that gives you an extra five minutes more than anyone else over an Easter Bank Holiday weekend?

Wake me when it's over.

Let's hope that at The end of the season we are calling you Bruce almighty
He came
He seen
He got us promoted

Good luck

[The Edge]

This is his biggest job to date with money to spend and a supportive manager with big ambitions. Is he a manager who can just coax the best out of average players or can he capitalise on the undoubted opportunities at the villa and build us an attractive and successful team. I'm not sure but I am sure I'll back him all I can and hope for the best. Good luck Steve.

[Mister E]

Wake me when it's over.

Zzzzzzzz

I'm struggling with this whole thing.

Isn't that somewhat tautological? Surely they're one and the same...

Oh, TIMEpieces!

I'm 38 years old.

You mean tortoisalogical.  38 is no age for a tortoise.

Very true Brian. I'm a nipper.

You better live at a slower carapace Sexual.

I have posted my dismay at this happening a few times.
Pros
seems a decent human being , like the Scottish number one was.
Better than some of the scary alternatives.
Errm a lot of posters believe he will get us promoted in the next 18 months.
Has to be better than, Tim, RDM, Scottish managers 1+2, Black, an O,Dreary
Maybe we win a couple of games.
He probably will only be here two seasons.

Cons
It is totally underwhelming.
Not much wriggle room as a new manager
He is a potato face

As the pros exceed the cons I can only shudder at where we are, would we have wanted him even when we were crap in the premiership ?
But he is our new manager, so good luck, get us promoted.
I have no problem with him coming from SHA.
did not notice the contract period, hopefully short along with conditions,

[seanthevillan]

Well at least if it doesn't work out with us we might get a novel out of it:

Striker

Sweeper
