Tony Pulis Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I know he would be a good appointment but, if the reports are true, £2m seems a lot of money, especially considering the FFP situation. It is 4 times the amount Eddie Howe was paid last season. It might be just me that thinks this, but comparatively to other managers in the Championship it is also very high.

Mystic Neg Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Bruce is not the answer in our current position. Difficult to know who is but wish the best of luck to them. On balance, temporary appointment like Megson. Only with a job to keep us up. If Bruce can't make villa and their squad good we could end his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls7 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Spend two million on a player and nobody thinks anything of it it's a risk but I think a risk worth taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eddie Howe needs to get a new agent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I've heard there's also an appearance bonus in his contract. Honestly, remember I told you this when in 18months time we mysteriously have a manager who isn't actually able to manager the team only at Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Having seen How Villa have performed this season I am not sure Bruce has the desire and drive any more. Villa didn't look motivated to me and have had a real turnaround since bringing Smith in. Would rather see someone younger on the way up with something to prove.

Villa fans wanted him gone because his lack of organisation of the players at his disposal was atrocious. Look at the tune Dean Smith is getting out of the same squad at the moment. I would rather take a younger manager with a fresh approach to the game. Heckingbottom did well before taking the poisoned chalice at Leeds, I'd also look at Paul Hurst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If it’s £2million a year that what our highest paid players are rumoured to be paid. He’s been around long enough to know a manager shouldn’t work for less than his players. Its all guesswork and conjecture though. It could be a £2 million deal for an 18 month contract. Nobody but those closely involved know the truth and certainly not the newspaper hacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the fact he didn't hang around when all the stuff with the Allam's kicked off at Hull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
