At whatever point our season ends, the man should be relieved of his duties.

Yep. I’m absolutely fucking done with him.
I think we have more of a chance without him in the play offs.

It’s not going to happen though is it? So no point us fans looking at it as even an option. We’re stuck with him until the end. Whatever that is.

Up or not, I don’t want him as our manager. If by some miracle we are promoted, a pat on the back, a pleasant something in an envelope and best wishes. He’s just not cut out for it here.

Whatever's happened since Wolves, the players have stopped giving everything for him. The way they've strolled around today, you'd have thought we'd already won the league.
Yes blame the players, who is in charge of the players?

I'm sure the last thing he says is "stroll around like a bunch of lazy fucks" before they go out.

I blame the players as much as him. I thought the idea of taking off the midfield and playing everyone up front had died with Paul Lambert, but clearly it hasn't.

I just hope Fulham go up automatically, because if we end up against them we'll be hammered.

If you were given the choice of saying Terry we need you to get the guys organised for 3 really big games at the end of the season, or carrying on with Bruce’s muddled thinking.
What would you choose.

One point taken vs QPR, Hull, Bolton, Norwich and a win against 10 men.
Get him gone now ...give it to someone, anyone with a semblance of tactics and desire to win games and they have a few games to prepare for the playoffs...
Should have gone end of last season but hey ho... this is Villa after all. We don't do easy...

How have Norwich had so much more desire than us.  They're rooted in mid table, aren't going to go down and aren't going to get in the play offs.  Yet we absolutely needed a win and could barely muster a shot.  Pathetic.

It just doesn’t matter what you or I think. And Terry is on the pitch and in the dressing room. What makes you think he’d make a difference? He’s not a manager.

He was pretty much in charge of the dressing room under RDM at Chelsea, as I said if you had the choice.
I know who I would have more faith in, because Bruce continues to show that he is not up to it.

His biggest crime is not getting his teams up for these games. Half arsed ponderous shit. Unacceptable. I guarantee you that had we got Warnock as manager with the same players we’d have at least seen desire and effort.
