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.

You’re right. A big reason for that is because he’s still being defended for achieving fuck all and moaning to hell about it. That doesn’t make it right though.

Ah, so reading between the lines, the people who voted yes want Bruce out, but are kind of releaved it's not actually going to happen.

Realistically, who do any of you want as his replacement?  Who, at this time, is likely to want to come to the Villa? I'm all for change if we can do better.

No, it's pretty self explanatory. They would prefer not to have Bruce as manager and are voting as such, it doesn't mean they think the club will sack him in the next few weeks.

We are resetting the Bruce out vote after 5 games sitting fourth and unbeaten?. Ok Fair enough, but it’s to soon for me to vote as I’ve decided to look forwards and be optimistic. Fortune favors the brave but I can’t decide upon keeping him for the season or Xmas. Sacking him now would be interesting. I’ll vote at the point it’s  obvious

We are all entitled to our opinions and H&V is the best site for intelligence and fairness but lately it all feels like a witch hunt. I am no more convinced than anybody that Bruce is the right man to take us up but I do know he stopped the rot and he deserves his chance

Maybe someone from abroad i guess. Realistically anyone good in this country isn't gonna want to jump to us mid-season, which was the whole thinking with getting rid of him in the summer. Too late now, and i don't want us to jump on the usual merry-go-round of unemployed names. After all, that's how we ended up with Bruce.

Which some would argue he had last season. Others would add the season before as well.

You must be reading between the lines of a completely different post to come to that conclusion.

Poor Steve and the witch hunt bregade. He’s in the most charmed job he’s ever had and he knows it.

He will be here until Christmas at least. He was getting a fair bit of stick today and Calderwood bit back. While the critism fair I din’t think it does us much good at the moment.

He has had long enough now, its not about the five games this season. Why the feck did he take Kodjia off and bring a bloody left back on? It just invites the other team to attack, I was gobsmacked. The first sub was strange as the lad was causing lots of problems, but in Bruce defence, maybe he was tired. I just don't think I can take any more of his bloody excuses and am not confident that he is the man to take us up. You only have to look at how the same players at Leeds are now playing with a forward thinking coach

He did it because that's him in a nutshell -  Defend and eke out a 1-0 win. Said it before but his tactics are those of a coward

I said to my lad when Taylor was warming up that maybe he is going to be the new Samba this season. Idiotic
