If we are serious about promotion we should be crawling over brken glass to fetch him in before the season starts. Thanks for keeping us up Jos. There's always one fool ...

It's £90 for a membership mate, 2016/17 - £30 2017/18 - £50 2018/19 - £90 The most expensive membership known to football.

Pulcinella Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 45 minutes ago, optimisticowl said: Had Steve Bruce replaced Carlos, then I’d have been happy, but he didn’t, so I’m very happy to support Jos who has managed to get star performances out of previously written off players. Exactly. Jos is the right man for the job. To do what he did last season and get youth and previously written off players firing on all cylinders was little short of miraculous. Bruce on the other hand spent more money on wages than any other manager in the league - and failed to get Villa promoted. He should never come into the equation as far as I'm concerned now. He's been at Villa two seasons and got them to 13th in the first season and 4th in the second. Jos is doing just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality manager with stacks of experience in getting teams outof the division. Rather than an unknown quantity by turmoil do you mean all the extra money they spunked at it?

vulva Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 All things being equal, as a straight swap, it's a no brainier. Nothing against Jos, but if you were playing the odds, you'd back Bruce every single day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it wouldn’t happen now. M I think Jos finished the season strongly, he needs to show us what he can do now with the pressure on and match his record in Germany. If that's the criteria we should have signed Warnock !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If you can't get Vila up on the budget he had then perhaps his star is on the wane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If we were managerless then yes i'd take bruce. But we aren't and we have to give Jos a crack with a fully fit, motivated and well led team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money problems are only affecting them now that the season is over. He had plenty to spend, far more than Carlos for example, and didn't get the job done. When has he ever took on a job at a cash-strapped club that need to sell in order to buy? He is a cheque book manager. Not a bad one but not one with a proven track record or indeed any interest in working under our current circumstances. Plus I am sure he wouldn't command a high salary and pay off clause that would bite us on the bum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Steve Bruce is good with a huge budget at a club that already has some good players there. Failed to get villa back up after having tonnes more than all but a couple of other clubs in this division and now there royally screwed with F. F. P. Doubt he'd have done a better job with the resources Jos had available when he took over here. For that reason it's a no from me let's give our man at the helm our full backing and support and see what happens if we can get a fit squad (not easy with some of our signings lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
