Bruce to Villa

[PLT]

Good luck to Steve Bruce, give him 18 months and they will be back in the Premier League, just too much to do this season.

But if you look at the attacking players in that squad : Grealish, Ayew, Kodija, McCormack, Gestede, Adomah, they have most of the squad there. They just need a manager experience in the Championship, a couple of key signings at the back and they could walk that league.

I reckon Bruce will do it. I wish him the best as he always gave everything to this club. (Even if I slagged him off at times unnecessarily)

It'll be interesting to see how he does with that wealth of attacking talent. In his four years here we always had a decent team but never had a proper set of strikers apart from the few months when Jelavic and Long were here together.

Bit of a voyeur then GLP?

Phelan might prefer someone like Giggs as number 2?

It was metaphorically speaking, obviously.

Told Gary Walsh will not be joining Aston Villa. He's expressed his desire to remain with [HASHTAG]#hcafc[/HASHTAG] as goalkeeping coach.

Looks like Villa have asked the question though.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

He apparently wants Stephen Clemence as his No.2 and as our useless pair of ****s have failed to appoint him our No.2, he'll almost certainly go.

Appointing him as our number 2 would have made no difference.
Bruce has looked after him well. It was obvious he would go.

Do we get any compo

 

[Barchullona]

Do we get any compo

That will depend on his contract, won't it?

 

[Carmine Galante.]

I appreciate what he did whilst here but he's gone now and he's already taken our assistant. There will be more to follow.

He can get ****ed if he thinks I'm wishing him luck.

I hate Villa and hope he gets them relegated, losing his job in the process.

I am not aware why this anatomical feature of Steve Clemence is considered newsworthy just because he is leaving for Villa.

His issue is now trying to fit them all into a side, as he has a lot of attacking talent but trying to balance that will be quite hard. I reckon he will be fine, he has been about long enough to understand that division better than anyone. If the brief is to get them up he will do it, if it is to do it by winning the league and scoring the most goals etc... he might not be the man.
