I can’t see him ever walking, I also can’t see us ever sacking him. I’d fully expect him to be in charge next season if he took us down. 

A few home matches with the fans on his back he’ll walk IMO.

They just want a day away from the wife and kids.  No point getting all heated up about things. 

Aye but they are that fickle they will turn soon.

He always has time for the staff behind the scenes. Whether it's the lasses at the ticket office or the Steve Agnew's bairn getting a cheery hello and pat on the head, Steve will never be too busy. He's a smashing bloke who is one of our own.

In the past maybe but I have no faith in the current lot who go.

I do, because they are that fickle.

Well he's really showed those people who abused him with vegetables since he left.

Should have been desperate to win this and be fuming through gritted teeth in the interview, but nah, we fulfilled the fixture, he fulfilled his remit, off to cash the cheque and watch Man United, no f**ks given

Oh fuck off you fraud.

He's probably correct however Villa would have moved up a gear if we had scored

He’ll not be under pressure from Ashley yet but I think if he loses home to Southampton next week he might start getting a bit twitchy.

Ashley backed him when it looked like we might get relegated last season. He's not going to pull the trigger before we are out of August. By now we should know he is desperate to keep Bruce as manager.

Sanctioned the Jones appointment… he was worried.

Yet he kept him on. Jones is still there, why would he change anything? Jones as the tactical no 2 doing the coaching stuff, Bruce as the cuddly and cheery front man who everyone and their nan loves because he's always got a ready smile and handshake for the opposition manager.

The thing about Bruce is if he's got a squad of players who like him (ie the handful he signs everywhere he goes) his one 'tactic' of slapping backs and 'getting the lads up for it' at least has a chance of working. 

 

When he's got a squad who either are better than him, or just don't look up to him, then it winds up with a side who look completely without heart. 

 

When we conceded first under him I never felt we'd get back into games because the heart wasn't there and on the pitch there was no organisation other than running fast and what the players could put together themselves. 

 

Any good that came from that always seemed to me to be despite Bruce, not because of him.
