poite Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 2 hours ago, shezzas left peg said: Splashed 60million at villa to add to Premier league quality that was already there and failed to get promoted ahead of a cheap Cardiff and Fulham with far less to spend. What do you think he'll manage here with no cash and unable to bring in his own players??? He would easy achieve mid-table. When considering the direction Jos is taking us in I'd take that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronio Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I would rather we get Megson in than Steve Bruce. We need a manager who is willing to work with no budget with the motivation to get the best of the players we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a great appointment, people are crackers if they think we can get better. Only thing I've got against him is that he tends to call us Sheffield instead of Wednesday. Jos did the same but soon learned. What gives me some heart is that DC is actually having dialogue with someone of Bruce's profile. Maybe the penny is starting to drop...

Suffolk.Owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 if it has to be Bruce please only till the end of the season to get us out of this mess. Then hopefully we can plan longer term with a young manger with some passion and something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously linked to jobs at Man Utd, Newcastle and England in his time. What’s he done this week? Waste of space Unreal some folk aren’t they? They can only remember last week!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightace Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think we need to bring someone else in and stick with them. We might have to start again and build a squad over a few years. Smart signings, not throwing money about. I don't think Jos is the man to stick with. But Bruce, I like him. I don't think you can judge him on villa when he's done decent jobs before. Think he's got it right more often than not. He knows the league and what it takes for promotion. Got a lot of contacts and obviously knows all about defending, which might come in handy But he'll need time. And I'll be much happier giving it him than Jos.

Yes, if it has to be him, a six month salvage contract, perhaps with a bonus relating to final placing He might not fancy that, but him given a three year contract working under DC’s regime, doesn’t appeal to me either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce has a track record of success at this level whichever way you look at it and it’s what we desperately need. Name me a manger/alchemist who is available that doesn’t needs funds and can get clubs promoted?

davey_wells Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'm not sure Bruce would be my first choice, but in fairness i'm staggered he's even been been approached given our track record. If he agrees to take over we've got very lucky indeed. He's a proven winner at this level amd more importantly an infinitely better option than the current manager. May not be the most forward thinking of managers but the fact he knows how to win games of football, get a system together, can man manage as well as anyone and will give players simple instructions.

Answer: there isn’t one...beggars can’t be choosers He's had 4 promotions and was close to a 5th with Villa. Had a bad start and resigned exactly 2 months into the season. Considering the state we are in I think we'd be lucky to get him. Wouldn't say he was overrated at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really get this attitude. Look what Colin could have done with this squad. Wilder would do a poo load better with this team as well.

Then Penney was dropped. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
