Aston Villa fans all saying the same thing about Steve Bruce at Sheffield Wed

[JUAN PABLO]

Liked him as a bloke when he first come

disliked him in the end with his bullshit at the end

He could have completely fu@ked up this club in the end .

Anyway we move on.

[Damo70]

I wouldn't applaud him and I wouldn't jeer him. I sympathize with his parents passing and his health scare. Nice guy, a reasonably good manager who did his best and came close to taking us up and can consider himself unlucky with how the play off final panned out. He was quite rightly given a reasonable amount of time this season but it was clear by the end (and probably even sooner than that) that it was time to go. His excuses and little digs at us fans towards the end were annoying and clearly a defensive distraction tactic on his part. He obviously thought that as the kids today would say it was 'our bad' for not being appreciative of negative football and a mid table position. I was quite happy when he was appointed and quite happy when he was sacked. He may well get Sheffield Wednesday promoted in the next year or two and everyone in the media will tell us we were wrong to sack him. But they would be wrong.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He should never have been appointed.

[Legion]

FOPH

[PeterWithe]

I respected him as a bloke but I thought he pretty much under performed for most of the time he was here given the resources available to him. I think he deserves neither stick nor praise, which pretty much sums up his tenure. Meh.

I wish him well for the future, apart from Saturday.

[clash city rocker]

He's gone and we are moving forward now which will do for me.

[Risso]

Can't stand the bloke.  I hope we absolutely batter Wednesday, then we can all be condescendingly nice about him afterwards.  He can put it down to it being "one of those horrible ones" and how we never gave him a chance, and we can move further towards a play off place, while he wallows in mid table mediocrity a bit longer.

They were shite against Stoke and haven't lost under him yet, so I hope we give them the run around and put 3 on them.

Over the last few years, a Bruce v Smith game normally sees the former and his team get a lesson in pass and move.

I hope we absolutely batter them.

[Allan C]

We should neither boo him or cheer him IMO. He was never suited to us and lasted 18 months longer then he should of but that’s not his fault. He’s gone now and is just a poor memory for me for all the reasons quoted above.

Exactly what I was thinking.

P.S. Fuck the fat, negligent tosser.

[ktvillan]

Either a very non-representative selection of fans quoted or else the vibe about Bruce on here was atypical.  Nothing personal against him but he was a very mediocre football manager who wasted a fortune (McGinn excepted) and still managed to leave behind a hopelessly inadequate lopsided squad.   

[KRS]

Who gives a shit? He's gone and has been replaced by a manager that immediately got the same bunch of players playing some of the best football we've seen down Villa Park in years. I sympathise with his personal life issues last year but we have nothing to thank him for as a manager. We go there, do a professional job and come home with 3pts. 

[Steve67]

The Mail asking Villa fans to be thankful for the shit we were left in by Steve Bruce? This is why you should never click on their shit. Shitrag bollocks.

My thoughts exactly.
