Phumfeinz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think we've broken pretty much every unwanted record over the last few seasons. Hard times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gary Thomas Posted October 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04bxjlv?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_5_live_sports_extra&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=radio_and_music Bruce targets immediate Premier League return for Aston Villa New Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has told 5 live Sport he has not given up hope of an immediate return to the Premier League this season. Bruce has won promotion to the Premier League four times - twice with Villa's local rivals Birmingham - and is hoping he can do the same with his new club having replaced Roberto Di Matteo. "When I went into Birmingham we were 15th going up to Christmas and we managed to get out of the division and I hope we can replicate it," he said. "We need to go on a run but I have not given up hope of getting this club back where it should be, in the Premier League," Bruce added. This clip is taken from 5 live Sport, Thursday 13 October 2016. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps it was doing both of those, then deciding after there were no other clubs that would pay him to say bad shit about us, that he would reinvent himself as Mr Aston Villa, because we're all idiots who don't remember that he's a word removed. I once pulled a bird in Risa who Yorke was seeing at the time. They were even snapped on holiday together just a couple of weeks later and the photo ended up in one of the rag papers. I see it as my own personal revenge. Have that Yorke, you word removed. Edited October 13, 2016 by Morley_crosses_to_Withe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put their B teams into the same league system* over there, so his experience over there cannot be discarded. It would be like discarding all experience of managing in the English League One or Two. * although obviously you can't be promoted into the same league as your own A team. Don't the 2nd teams have to follow the 1st teams ethos? Wagner is now the lead person at his club. He hasn't built a club which was what they were arguing about.

It's because he's lost so much weight. I did the same, lost a stone and a half and all of a sudden my suit trousers were too long.

Popular Post KHV Posted October 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2016 Glad it's not Dyche or Warner. We need a steady calm influence. Steve Bruce had a fantastic playing career and won 14 major honours and has managed over 700 games in the premier league/championship and has 4 promotions from the championship under his belt. For me he was head and shoulders above any other candidate for the job. I have always found him to be very likable even when he was in charge at the Blues. I can never ever remember him speaking out of turn or being out of order in his entire career. I think all the people having doubts about him will quickly change their minds. I think he commands respect from his peers. I was out tonight with a couple of blues fans who hold him in high regard and who both setting rivalrys aside said he is a fantastic choice. I am a happy villa fan tonight and am 100% behind the decision to appoint Steve Bruce, I really do rate him and like him as a manager and person. Welcome to Villa Park Steve, take us back where we belong. I'm sure you will :-D 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people that know him and say he is a great guy....warm & personable etc. It would not surprise me if he gets something from some players we may have written off. He seems under no illusions of the task and seems to be relishing the challenge. Top Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 2 hours ago, BOF said: It's not really similar at all to managing a reserve side in England because you are playing in the professional system against professional A sides and other than serious injuries you will be using a stable squad that must be managed in the same way as any other. Also, he was part of Klopp's backroom staff so realistically his days were always numbered once Klopp left. People are just seeing 'B' team and assuming it's like England. It isn't. No, people are seeing them at a semi-professional level and thinking they're a "normal" side - it's just not the same. Here, we have reserve leagues. There, they integrate them at a low level. If the Premier League gets it's way and reserve teams can enter lower league football here (like some sides are fielding teams in the Johnstones Paint Trophy or whatever it's called these days), would you consider the reserve managers as "proper" managers then? Are they "proper" managers now because they've entered a professional cup competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
