Brenden Rogers please.
I think Ginger Rogers would do a better job.

Bruce would play Dusty Bin at right back having spent 10 million quid on him.

I'm just amazed anyone would want Bruce in charge. The mind boggles.

His teans don't play good football, he hasn't got us up.

What's to like

He won't be sacked until its too late. The owners have just backed him with the best part of 10m with transfers, loan fees and wages. The best managers will be employed, and won't fancy coming here with no money for players and all sorts of "must play" clauses in the loan players contract. We are now seeing Promotion or Bust 3: Return of the Kodjia, the final part of the trilogy after 2016-17's A new Hoof and the last season's Attack of the loans. We're just gonna have to sit back and watch :-[

End of the season is the no vote. If he doesn't take us up this season then there's more chance of me being Villa manager next season than him.

Sitting fourth, still unbeaten, no-one running away with it and we’ve dropped some important points.

Bruce out?
It’s not about just this season though Frank. Show me where we have improved significantly under Bruce. I seriously cannot see any real improvement under him.

It is all about this season and we have Bruce like it or lump it. Based on the start it’s not a sack him situation yet. I genuinely am not a Bruce fan boy, but I just don’t see that any majority is going to be singing Bruce out songs after the start we’ve had.

This’ll be my last post this evening as I’m repeating myself:
We will not achieve automatic promotion with Steve and his staff. He’s had plenty of time now but nothing is improving. We have to make a move now to get in a new manger whose gonna get the best of the undoubted talent we have at our desposal.
The owners/investors have to be bold, otherwise we’ll be inevitably in the same league without Jack.
We’re bloody lucky he’s still out player now. No thanks to Steve st all.

I'm a grown man, I can take the abuse. It never ceases to amaze me that people are willing to sack a manager after 5 unbeaten games. Yes I'm disappointing in today's result, but please, can you imagine the laughing stock we would be if we got someone new in now.

He’s been our manger for well over five games though hasn’t he?

Were you at the playoff final where his negative shite tactics cost us another year of drawing to Reading at home?

It’s not 5 unbeaten games though is it? It’s two years of underachievement and mediocrity

I very much doubt a single person that has voted yes thinks there's even the tiniest of chances Bruce will be sacked in the next few weeks. And it's nearly 100 games most people would be basing their decision on.
