I agree with Rudy.  The tenure of Bruce has been the death of a thousand cuts.  He has benefited from those in authority buying into the promotion specialist theory in which team performances are of secondary importance.  It has not worked because football and football management has moved on at such a pace Bruce has been marooned like an ice age mammoth.  He should have gone fifteen months ago but changed his promotion specialist get out of jail card for a stability is the key one but delivered neither stability nor promotion.  His third metamorphosis came when the club changed hands and his current get out of jail card is not the right time for a new manager with all the other club upheaval.  Every day he remains as Villa manager is a day further from our recovery.

I hope they don't get caught up listening the comments of the likes of Stuart Pearce on Talksport.  'If Bruce is clueless, then the rest of us must be morons', or words to that effect.  They don't get to watch the week after week shite that we do, but this old boys network is alive and kicking, so sacking Bruce would also be quite a brave decision too.  Needs doing, get on with it.

As I say, they only get to see the highlights, we get to see it every week and see the minute detail of the piss poor tactics, throwing players under the bus, playing them in the wrong positions etc.  They are in that station because they can't get proper management jobs.  Micky Quinn is an illiterate fat twat, Parlour is a disgrace to football and Ally McCoist was always a chancer.  Pearce rocks up every time he's sacked by a club.

Many a true word spoken in jest and all that...
