'Fun' facts.

Bruce is the first Villa manager to have 3 attempts at getting promoted from division 2.
We've never spent 4 consecutive seasons in division 2. Twice before we've spent 3 seasons in division 2 and left it at the end of the third season both times. Once relegated and once promoted.

Let's hope it's the latter!

Yet another wasted opportunity.  How do we keep getting these fucking stupid owners?  I give up.

If we're not looking good for automatic promotion after 10/15 games he'll be given his marching orders.


10/15 games wasted yet again.

Well said

What a total shitter.    Another season of mainly anti football, no plan B’s etc.   The new owners have bottled it.   The trouble with foreign owners is that they don’t understand quite how dated and limited Bruce is.  Meh!!! Well feck em it’s thier money they are pissing away.

I’m pleased.  I understand people wanting him gone but not to be replaced by monotone Henry.

The jury is still out for me, not even a glimpse of the Egyptians shoes.

So long as the bullshitter with the built up shoes isn't there, I'm happy.

Or the new owners thought changing the manager 10days before season starts for a complete novice was not a good decision

Given the alternative, I'm glad he's staying.

Get us promoted, please.

It’s common sense given the season is upon us and we haven’t seen much of that in recent years. Let these guys have a few months to get the structure at the club right first.

This is blatantly all about timing. Earlier and he was gone.

Apparently it has all changed again after a meet with the new owners. I will keep my trap shut from now on. They are making me look bad!
