Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

[Dave]

And you are a gigantically puffed up pompous  twit.

Rather uncalled for. So stop it.

Too much mead at the Prancing Pony.

Not at all - he is

To put it another way, stop insulting people or stop posting.

has Bruce actually said he's pleasantly surprised by his transfer budget? Which would  also confirm he's staying?

I very much doubt that even SB knows anywhere near the real truth of our financial state.

I guess the £150 grand turning up in his bank account every month lessens the frustration somewhat.

There are some players who haven't set foot on the pitch for months on double that.

I could ask the same question about the money that goes into Bruce's account. It's irrelevant.

You can't blame Bruce for the financial position of the club, or being paid his agreed salary. There are plenty of companies badly run their employees still get paid. The financial problem is not Bruce's fault.

I did not ask a question.

I don’t think I actually said that but.
 Who was the manager that failed to get us promoted?

[Clampy]

I'd imagine Bruce was gutted that we didn't go up. The fact he's been paid since the final is neither here or there.

While he is still employed by Aston Villa he has every right to continue to be paid his salary. Your point of what he gets paid is totally irrelevant. So he didn't get Villa promoted, does that mean he has no right to not right to continue getting paid? Your argument about what Bruce gets paid isn't really relevant in the context you are delivering it.

What is the point of regurgitating similar views day after day? The club is up for sale so the current owner is in no position to make decisions about the future. When the bigger issue is dealt with then whoever is in charge will make the changes he views necessary on the way forward on every aspect of the club structure. Until then it would be silly to add complication by dispensing with a manager when recruitment cannot take place as Round et al are also potential casualties.
