Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Well on one hand I hoped our ambition would have propelled us beyond looking at the likes of plodders such as Bruce but he's here now and I hope he does well. On the bright side I really don't think massive managerial talent is needed to get this team winning a few games. Which is handy.

Sums up my feelings perfectly.

the biggest opportunity he will ever have of dining at the top table of English football.

This alone will surely motivate him.

How about Withe, two spells at small heath or des bremner, played almost as many games for us as them?

they were there at the end of their careers.

Withe was with them before us.

Withe was with Small Heath before us (and after us).

True professionals, gave their all to their employer, gave their best for the Villa

[cdbearsfan]

I'd imagine they gave their best at clubs prior to joining Villa too, or Saunders wouldn't have signed them. And Bremner must have given his best to Small Heath or they wouldn't have picked him over 150 times.

Living in north birmingham for 38 years we just can't accept him as a villa man but can as an employee. Erdington,  brookvale,  Aston witton,  great barr perry barr kingstanding,  ridgeway,  and perry common,  we don't accept blues as part of our club.

Stop saying "we" when you mean "I".

He's one of us now. You're coming across as pathetic and bitter as a Small Heath fan.

I say we as I'm well versed in the areas I have mentioned,  it's part of our identity to hate blues,  just like it's their (blues) identity to hate villa.

So you don't accept the scorer of our European Cup winning goal as a Villa man?

[PeterWithesShin]

You must hated that goal by a Bluenose in '82 then.

I'm struggling to understand what the 'g' stands for. As a North Brummie, I got the rest. Bruce is as Blues as you. Nice try. Goodbye. Don't waste my time.

The past is the past. He's our manager now, we need to get behind him,  stop all this potato head nonsense and call him by his proper name, Fist face.

Peter withe will always be remembered as a villa player, if we want to hate blues we have the right to.
