Steve Bruce - officially confirmed (as Sheffield Wednesday boss)

[PaulWinch again]

On the list of people to blame for us being shit in Division 2, Xia would be pretty much bottom of the list atm.

Indeed.

[andyh]

We need to cement our place in this division for next year.
That is the main job now.

Revisit his situation in the summer.
If we end the season on a high, winning some games and looking like we can hit the ground running next season, then keep him.

If we limp to the end of season............

[PaulWinch again]

Just get it turned round Bruce please.

[Chris Harte]

I feel that we have to stick with Bruce. Give him this season and next. We can't just keep changing managers.

I know there have been some on-the-face-of-it odd decisions (Agbon's return to the team, swapping Gollini for the United keeper) but none of that would have mattered had we had a decent run. We have four games in February. I'm certain we won't be looking over our shoulders at the end of those. I feel that promotion has been beyond us for a while now but then you have to remember that the chancer RdM had put us on the back foot anyway.

Aren't you forgetting 'his' choice of manager in the summer?

There was was me thinking he had appointed the two managers who've got us into this predicament. Not much different to Randolph thus far, save for his bizarre messages are regularly posted on twitter and we don't know where his money is coming from

I get the feeling that Bruce is out of his depth at Villa and for all his brave talk of turning things around, I genuinely don't think he knows what to do and how to sort it. I wouldn't advocate sacking him as he has to be given time now, but he appears clueless and tactically inept.

11 points from 11 games we sacked the previous manager for that🤔

I've been impressed with how Bruce has taken control of the team and also delighted with every signing in the winter window.
He has a lot of wriggle room at the moment. Give the spud a chance.

And if we bring in another manager and he gets 11 points from 11 games, do we sack him as well? We've got time, it's only February.

Yes.

Not good enough.

[olaftab]

I didn't say sack him now it was an observation.

Yes what a bellend hiring two managers who had got teams promoted from the division we're in at the moment. Yes we don't know where the money is coming from, but for that very reason it's hardly fair to criticise him about that at the moment.

[PeterWithesShin]

If we don't take at least 4 points from Ipswich and Barnsley at home I think he'll be under pressure from a lot of fans plus those above him. I really hope he kicks us on as I don't want to be on the 6th manager in 2 years by the time next season comes around.

Then it's a never ending rotation of managers instead of showing some patience to a manger who's just brought in 8 players.
