This job is way too big for Bruce, he hasn't got a clue. We're not Small Heath or Hull.
Sorry but how does that make any difference?
The pressure is a whole new ball game. He says all the right things but football wise he's clueless. Nearly a year in and we still haven't got any kind of pattern of play or style despite it being his squad.

Lower expectations at those clubs?

I just think we need much more profound changes at the club than what Warnock would bring. I'll give him this though, he does at least do the thing he's meant to do - it's limited, but he does it. Bruce doesn't even do that.
He wouldn't if he came to us though. Managers crumble when they get this job.You can guarantee hed be as clueless as Bruce with us

Yeah quite possibly. Perhaps it's just that bog-standard, meat-and-two-veg football can't work at a club with this purchasing power (relative to the division) and these expectations.

Our only hope is to get rid of him quickly.  We won't.  We will faff about and hope for a miracle turn around that might get us into the play offs.  Wyness and Round are as incompetent as Bruce.

Getting schooled by a Neil Warnock side should be a sackable offence. We really are utter garbage without Kod.

Why is anyone still surprised when we lose? It's the norm for me and I'm more surprised when we win.

This job is way too big for Bruce, he hasn't got a clue. We're not Small Heath or Hull.

Nobody is surprised, they probably just get even more pissed off with forever being shit.

Yes but still the task is to build a decent team regardless of where you are. If anything it should be easier at Villa as more resources are available.

In terms of coaching Bruce has been left behind by the likes of Neil Warnock.  Yep thats right....Neil Warnock...unbelievable.

They're the two that appointed Bruce. They're the two that Xia has put his trust in based on their footballing knowledge. They're the two that will cover their own arses and defend against sacking the manager. They're the two that probably wish Xia wasn't so active on twitter as I imagine the fans will be giving him lots of advise.

Not that it matters, but I haven't seen a single cautious tweet by a Villa fan on Twitter this evening. Even that Dan Bardell bloke seems pissed off and he's always smiling.

So he is flapping about like a fish out of water? Is that what you are saying is I agree.
