In case you didn’t know.

So angry, just don’t see how he keeps his job, or how any Villa fan can defend him, would happily listen to an argument for him to stay, but there is not an argument for him to stay. Sack him now

I've got nothing more to add to the Bruce out debate that I haven't already said multiple times.

Whats fucking me off more than anything now though is how every journalist and commentator is just so safe with him, throw a few shite cliches around and never question anything he does. fuck off.

By his body language and his lack of celebration of the goal plus his comment about not having time, I think he knows he’s gone on Monday.

The only real argument for keeping Nan's hair is we can get someone better in the summer rather than now. I really don't want another Bruce MK2 tbh and we all know who of the unemployed will be applying if he goes - another couple of Mr. Promotion chancers. Should have done it in the summer unfortunately.

Without sounding too arrogant, the Villa, with their new wealth, infrastructure, support etc should be able to attract 90% of the managers in this country to come.

No doubts we will win the next two games, both at home and then he will come out with the anti-dinosuar and hysteria quotes. The football is boring and I hope, rather than expect, with Bruce in charge. Too many excuses, not enough delivery.

Mate after a decade of a mixture Arrogant, Aloof, Inept, Chancer, Ill Suited, Out of Depth, Dinosaurs or a mixture of more than one I really want a genuine plan. And someone who can execute it

depends how much money we have. If we went for dean smith for example (who wouldn't be my choice) Brentford would want a big pay-off. And then you look at where they are currently, would he maybe want to see how he gets on for now? Maybe he'd feel some loyalty to them and not want to walk out on them at the moment. And we probably can't offer him a fortune in transfers anyway -he's gonna be stuck with Bruce's loans. In the summer its always easier to get employed managers, so we could end up with a fat sam or a Moyes which is my worry.

He won't be gone on Monday. There is no indication that he's even under pressure in the media.

There is no way on earth Dean Smith would turn down the Villa job if offered

I tend to agree. i reckon 4 points from today and rotherham and he'll survive. If he loses against rotherham then maybe they'll act.
