My suspicion is that the players want him gone as much as the fans.
Good.

James Chester, our captain, is on record saying that Bruce being kept on is the only reason he stayed. I somehow doubt he's lost the dressing room as much as some people hope.

I dearly want the man gone and have done for longer than most, but I don't believe the players have turned.

Stand up row between some fans and Calderwood. “Support your fcuking team” was the quote whilsr giving a three fingered salute.

Liam Rosenoir nailed it on Sky Debate. He has watched all our games this season:

No pattern of play. Sometimes long, sometimes short with no real pattern
Bought loads of players in the same position
Big club and fans are right to expect more
Big budget and questioning how wise they have spent

Strachan tries to defend his mate Bruce but Rosenoir is spot on. More bollocks from presenter that we are still only a few points off the top of the table

This isn't the first time old Colin has been involved in a spat with fans, is it?

He's a dour fucker.

I was trying to be rational after Sheff Utd away and I was willing to give him until the next international break. Well the time has come and we look worse. He has got to go. Got to.

We need someone with a plan and not a manager who doesn’t know his best formation or starting 11 after 2 years and 102 games.

Calderwood is a yes man, and worse still a very poor and morose excuse for an assistant. He can piss off with his pal Steve.

Elmohamady has done alright for us when you average it all out but he wouldn't be terribly missed either. On balance I'd happily pack bags for all three with a few verses of Que Sera Sera.

I think the only coach to come out with any credit is Agnew. He got Hogan firing straight away and our attacking is not really an issue. Calderwood can’t be doing much with our defence and does anyone know what Clemence does?

We finished the game with no recognized centre half and no strikers. Can't be arsed to list the rest of the buffoons failings. I truly believe the fucker is just hanging on waiting for his pay off. The shameless bastard is even trying to play the sympathy card. I've been saying exactly this for the last month.

Tbh there was no melt down or outburst and it was disgrace full and misleading how talk sport presented that. Sorry

Can anyone tell me what Colin Clusterfuck does coaching wise seeing as we currently have the worst defense that I can remember down the Villa in 30+ years of watching them. Instead of having a go at the fans have a go at the fanny defending we see week in week out.

Bruce nearly crying because of the stick he's getting, feels he deserves more because he finished 4th last season.

Burton, Sheff Utd, Reading, Ipswich, Rotherham, Blackburn, Preston, Sheff Wed, Bristol C, Brentford. One win in those 10 games and he acts like he deserves an award. It's shit Steve, you're shit, pack your bags and take your freeloading ''coaching'' team with you.

We finished the game with the 4th choice keeper in front of a back 4 of right backs who had 4 centre midfielders in front of them and the outlet up front was a winger.

Abysmal, what a mess.
