well Bruce has a history of falling out with chairman. One thing he's never suffered from is a lack of faith in his own ability even if no-one else shares that opinion

Steve, how many of the teams currently above us in the table have we beaten this seson?

Just beaten one a few hours ago. And now they're below us again.

I’m not sure Xia can even afford to get rid of Bruce just now
I still get the feeling there are things unknown about Xia and his ownership of Villa I can’t put my finger on it as I don’t really know what I’m talking about just a gut feeling that all is not as it’s made to look

and i do like the guy so I haven’t got a negative agenda on him

He’s here til the end of the year either way. Even if we do go up can you imagine him in charge then?

Ugh. In the unlikely event we scrape through the playoffs I hope the turd gets potted before he leaves the dugout. Not good enough to manage us if we go up.

I wouldn't worry too much but if we did go up there would be a plethora of overpriced journey men heading our way

He did look a bit deflated even though we won.  Maybe he knows McClaren is coming...
