Bye bye Villa (5 Viewers)

[Gazolba]

Some of the 'older' city will know but i remember the hatred in the late 70's.......Supporting the villa was just a no no..

I don't remember that. In the 1960's my father used to go and watch Birmingham, West Brom, Wolves and Villa usually whenever they played Man U or Tottenham which were the top clubs back then. I remember seeing Jimmy Greaves, Dennis Law, George Best and Bobby Charlton.

I see Henry is going to be their new manager (used to like him as well! : ( )

Genuine question when did Bruce leave? Didn’t even know he’d gone!

Just had a google he’s still manager. The way the story has gone around I’d assumed he was gone already

Thierry Henry to Aston Villa: Steve Bruce reveals reaction to Daily Star exclusive

 

[vow]

They'd be stupid to get rid of an established manager for a rookie, that took em to the play off final.
Gambled on getting to the promised land and lost, not exactly Bruce's fault that the owner wanted throw money at the "dream".

 

[Monners]

I still haven't quite forgiven Henry for his handbal in 2009 (more his bullshit reaction afterwards to be honest).

Anyway, how would replacing the experienced Bruce increase their chances?

Also, I don't really care to be honest.

That’s life under new owners - especially in Birmingham it seems!

Could be onto something there...didn't Brum sack Rowett after taking them to around the play-off spots?! (may have been Derby).
