bagefor Bruce!1 -
no surprise .. I got chatting to a Villa fan on the train before the start of the season, so even before things went tits up for Brucie .. she really knew her stuff .. anyway, the opinion was that Bruce is too 'old school' and lacks tactical awareness .. she suggested that last season John Terry was the guiding hand that got them to the play off final, only to lose to Fulham .. Bruce depended too much on Grealish for creativity and had too many older/past it players in the squad (exacerbated by lack of purchasing funds ?) .. having said that, perhaps a last minute injury time penalty miss has cost him his job prematurelyricky_otto said:Sacked.
the new owners have spent a fortune on buying the club and now want a new manager to protect their investment and before they release the cash to refurbish the team .. my money is on yet another foreigner to come in as manager0 -

A statement from Villa thanked Bruce for his work, ending "Lettuce remember the good times".6

These puns are vegging on the ridiculous1

He stood no chance once the crowd turned on him, singing 'What a load a radish'1

Aston Villa could be in serious trouble this season!!
Was always going to be a difficult job as they put all their eggs into the one basket and aimed for promotion within the two seasons they had their parachute payments
Thats gone now so will be even more limited by FFP and were damned lucky to keep Jack Grealish (who isnt doing much)
Wouldnt surprise me if they struggle like Ipswich as Steve Bruce and Mick McCarthy are the sort that guarantee you Championship survival0 - Sponsored links:

That's how they were able to sign the likes of El Ghazi, Bolasie and Tammy Abraham on loan near the end of August.0 -
Sacked, but what a way to go out0

He’ll have a decent pay out.
Enough for a few nights in the Savoy at least.8 -

Someone needs to throw a cabbage at Roland.0

Should dump 20 tonnes of brussel sprouts in front of the reception of the west stand, might only just notice, what with the potholes and that.C_A_F_C said:Someone needs to throw a cabbage at Roland.

Hoping for a Villa new manager bounce on Saturday.0

Curbs 16-1 and of course, don’t think anyone in their right mind would lob a cabbage at0

If Roly ever shows his face, he should get the Brussels treatment (only kidding, Keyhole).0

Something was fermenting at Villa Park last night
Kimchi for Bruce

Had it not been for a keepers glove then he would probably still be in. But it's a brutal world out there. Time waits for no man.1

Not having a go at you mate, but it always cracks me up when fans accuse a bloke like Steve Bruce, who has been in the game for fourty odd years professionally of ‘lacking tactical awareness’.Lincsaddick said:

the new owners have spent a fortune on buying the club and now want a new manager to protect their investment and before they release the cash to refurbish the team .. my money is on yet another foreigner to come in as manager
The bloke has been around the game since the early 80’s, has played hundreds of games for Man United, played in the Champions League, won the ECWC and countless other prizes, do Aston Villa fans honestly think that he doesn’t understand football tactics?
He missed out on promotion via the PO Final last year, and has had a mixed start to the season this time round, and has now been sacked – absolute madness.

The same at Charlton when some of the clowns on here accused Phil Parkinson - small matter of 500 Football League games as a player and 200 games as a manager before coming to Charlton - as being 'tactically naive' - it used to proper crack me up.Brown Bear said:

The irony of some Sunday league pub player on here accusing a bloke who has been in the professional game for 30 years of being 'tactically naive' seemed to escape many people!0 -

The criticism of Bruce and Parkinson may or may not be sound but, equally, Karl Robinson has managed for 450 matches but not many would accuse him as being a tactical genius. Equally, I've been playing House of the Rising Sun for over 40 years on the guitar but it doesn't make me Eric Clapton. Sadly.Ormiston Addick said:
