Bruce Sacked at last (now official)

[Damo70]

There is one downside to Bruce being sacked for me personally. The 'Bruce Out' thread was providing so many pages of reading each day I can't remember the last time I needed to buy myself a book.

[Percy McCarthy]

I’m now worried about the replacement.

Better to worry about what might be than what is.

[Matt C]

He deserves respect for steadying a very turbulent ship when he took over but this was always a marriage of convenience and if the results aren’t there it has an inevitable ending. Great opportunity for us to modernize now.

[PeterWithesShin]

His steadying of the ship was to turn away from the iceberg and ground us on a beach.

Thank sweet Mother of Mary for that. 15 months too late but hopefully now we can start repairing the damage he's done to our club.

Had some ITK yesterday he wasn't long for the chop but hadn't dreamt it would be so quick. Excellent work.

[Witton Warrior]

Right! Let's get on with it!

[aj2k77]

Fucking get in. Best result in months.

Up the Villa.

[Dr_Fegg]

Happy days indeed!

Now, assuming ive missed the "who's our next manager thread", whats the deal with Henry, great player (and cheat) but what does he know about the championship?

And yes i get the irony of us just sacking the "4 times promoted championship specialist 

How about Gary Monk - did well with Swansea and it would piss the bluenoses off too!

and now ive seen the thread...Doh!

I like Stephen Warnock now:

"I was expecting it because of how things have gone of late but, when you get a cabbage thrown at you, you sort of know that the end is very close"

According to The Express and Star Bruce’s sacking comes two years to the day to that of his predecessor, Roberto Di Matteo.

Wasn't that after a match v Preston aswell?

Yep, and also vs Preston, and also where 'sacked in the morning' was chanted - uncanny, apart from the cabbage.

I liked him as a man and a lot of vitriol was OTT, but the time had long since come.

Sporting News is carrying an article with the headline Bruce sacked as Aston Villa manager after cabbage attack.

[PeterWithesShin]

Both were the sacked on the 3rd of October, after the 11th league game of the season, which was against Preston.

[Three Spires Villa]

He had to go, I’m happy and for the moment at peace with the world, my cat is safe tonight!!
