Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Villa job whittled down to 2 according to their crazy owner on Twitter. Bruce and Wagner the fancied two according to the bookies. If either of them get the job, I wont be worried about Villa at all this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I think Bruce would sort them out, but it'd take him a month or two an by then promotion may have gone begging. Wagner; fuck knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't they already interviewed most? And nothing has come out that Wagner has been approached Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The two in the running for the Villa job are Steve Clarke and Steve Bruce Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The two in the running for the Villa job are Steve Clarke and Steve Bruce Wow. Bruce would be decent at this level. Must have the record for promotions out of this league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Aye Bruce seems a decent would be appointment but they'd want shot of him if he gets them up. EDIT: 4 promotions apparently, 2 more than anyone else. Seems to always get relegated again after Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The two in the running for the Villa job are Steve Clarke and Steve Bruce Wow. Bruce would be a solid appointment tbh, good track record of promotion (4 times?) and is a safe pair of hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I really don't think he is that solid at all. He's been promoted 4 times, but he's also been relegated 3(?) times. He's very similar to Allardyce in terms of achievements, basically nothing and seems to be given a higher reputation than others built on nothing other than being a PFM. That said, he's a much better option than Clarke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could go abroad but that's a big risk unless they know what they're doing, which I don't suspect this Xia lad does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa's fans and owner want instant results. Steve Bruce will be sacked before he gets Villa promoted, therefore it's not a solid appointment. A solid appointment would be getting in someone who can have the opportunity to rebuild from scratch including everything behind the scenes (as we have done with Rafa). Bruce wont be given that opportunity or time to do it so it's just a pointless appointment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 He joined Birmingham and had them instantly promoted like. EDIT: Hull too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Agree that he's very solid at this level like. Having said that, if he and Aston Villa can join hands and walk off into the abyss, that would be a toppa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 That article is amazing 'The players simply need to work harder, run more' That should be the official tag line of the PFM Imagine actually giving that answer to the question of how to get Swansea out of the relegation battle, at your official job interview. Absolutely unreal! A response any clueless gimp on the street could utter back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Villa fans/owner want instant results so a solid appointment would be someone rebuilding from scratch - ie not someone as Hans says with a track record of getting teams promoted quickly?
