You think I'm naive? There are players and managers of Aston Villa who died 50+ years before I was born and yet I know of them or their names, so as much as it might upset you, Steve Bruce will forever be recorded as having been Manager here. I'll suggest that 100 years from now more people know of Steve Bruce than vive le villa. And yes, it's a select few that despite him having left 6 months ago remain so bitter that they feel the need to keep letting everyone know their opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are naive for thinking it’s only a select few on here that are not fans of Steve Bruce. I think it’s more likely a select a few on here that always feel the need to defend him for some strange reason. Also last time I looked it was a Steve Bruce thread. Isn’t it the place to share our opinions of him? Finally, a hundred years from now the world will remember the name vive_la_villa Do not forget that!

sne Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Will be up to future historians to retell the evens during the short spell when Steve of the Bruce's rained over the mighty Aston Villa - Creators of Football and inventors of bicycle kicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the way he left our defence was simply down to mistakes then he really is the shitest manager we’ve had in years if not ever!! Plus I read the Sun mate. Not a fan of the daily mail.

You think Bruce did a good job but made ‘mistakes’ in his last season. I think he did a good job but completely lost the plot in his last season which was so out of character it was beyond calling it ‘mistakes’. Now I’m off to get my head checked so we’ll leave it at that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 3 hours ago, Zatman said: He left us with 1 fit senior centre back who apparently can barely walk at the moment and if its that bad probably wont play again. Instead of getting in players for problem positions so went out and spent 80k a week on Bolasie So how do you reconcile the club nearly going out of business and that being instrumental in his actions, after we lost most of the defence. Is that not reasonable or what? I have to say, with all whats been written in the past, from either camp.....its tedious now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that’s the case probably best to not loan out your only other fit centre half, your number 2 goalie when he is better than your number 1, and a young up and coming winger. He didn’t exactly help his own cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say....much was going on and finances was at the centre of every player movement.....wasn't he expecting to sign a new centre half and the deal died at the last minute,? maybe the decision to let Elphick go was too advanced,? maybe be he was told Elphick must go if you bring in a new CB....I think there are too many things we simply don't know, but the clubs finances must have played a huge part. On the surface, He didn't help himself.....but maybe some things were beyond his control and he was trying to make good a bad situation....we will never know....maybe more than meets the eye. Its all cosmetic now, I don't think he would have played the football Dean is, anyway. Edited April 25, 2019 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
