Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

“There’s some who will never accept me here, but that’s part and parcel of management”.

Absolute wanker.

At the risk of being accused of something or other, I don’t see what’s wrong with what he said. On the few occasions I hear any football phone ins there’s always somebody not happy with whoever is appointed manager for whatever team.

Trying to work up the ex-bluenose shit. Poor Steve. Fancy us wanting him out because we think he’s shit.

Maybe , but it comes across that we should feel sorry for him as he never stood a chance with some. which is just not true in my opinion.  I feel ,again just my opinion he is intimating about  the blues connection which I don't give 2 hoots about

Absolute wanker.

Read between the lines. “I managed that lot. Some Villa fans hate me for it”

No Steve. You’re utterly shit and you’ve failed as manager of our club. That’s the truth. Now fuck off.

[Monty]

It sounds wheedling and defensive, and like an attempt to deflect the blame.

Lee Hendrie on Sky talking bollocks about Bruce's fantastic record, and who could do better?
Open your eyes, Lee. Another media sycophant.

John Hartson on 5live last night the same

Just an Old boy's club.

Soon be moaning about young English managers not getting a chnace if it was Johnny Foreigner not getting results

Yep, and Ian Holloway did the same in midweek. Absolutely backed Bruce to the hilt.

[PeterWithesShin]

He regularly comes out with crap to deflect away from his own failings. The amount of times in a post match interview after a bad result he says stuff like "ultimately I take the blame/responsibility" before blaming someone or something else, and "look, i'm not going to make excuses" before making a load of excuses. They shite he spouts is endless. His current favourite is we're a new team and need time to gel etc, ignoring that 8 of the 10 outfield starters yesterday were at the club last season.

Just seen this on Twitter from a Sunderland fan.

I see Steve Bruce remains under a lot of pressure at #avfc. Be warned Villa fans, as I said the other day he'll turn on supporters. He done that at #safc and because he's a 'media darling', the press will turn on you. My sympathies. Sunderland have been there.  👍🏻

One win in 8. Failed to get promoted twice. Yeah, who could do better eh Lee?

[cdbearsfan]

He might not want to upset his daughter.

[garyshawsknee]

Must be a thing with ex Villa players making crap pundits, Hendrie, Yorke, Merson, Dublin.

[Clark W Griswold]

I thought there was some personal link between Hendrie and Bruce so whilst Hendrie isn't necessarily going to say he thinks Bruce is fantastic and should have the job for life he's hardly going to say he's shite and should be fired on Monday morning either.

I'm refreshing this thread far to often.  So when's the announcement?  Come on Chelenham, throw us a bone.
