Use our rumours form to send us aston villa transfer rumours.

If some of the hype regarding Bruce's demise is correct, if I were in his shoes I would rally the troops and go down fighting, set up with a really positive formation and tell the players to go for it. We have the players to do it, many have let Bruce down, his tactics maybe at best questionable in reality inept. Steve if you are on the way out go out with a fight, you will get respect from the genuine fans.



15 Sep 2017 20:33:15
It might just save your job.



15 Sep 2017 20:49:11
Thing is hopeful even if he did people will find faults, there's already complaints about him starting Kodjia - which he neither has or hasn't done yet.



15 Sep 2017 21:46:13
Thing is changing the manager every few months is not the answer. Can, t believe some fans have a petition on twitter to get rid of bruce. completely disgusted by this and makes me ashamed to be a villa fan. I sincerely hope we get the win tomorrow and do it in style. people like wtw hope we lose so bruce will be sacked . Is this what a true fan does? Can, t get to the game tomorrow other commitments but my heart will be there. VILLA FOREVER in bruce i trust.



15 Sep 2017 23:18:40
Well said. Really hope we get a positive result tomorrow. I for 1 hope kodja does start and does the job. Hopefully this team will gel soon because when they do they will be a match for anyone in this league.

No secret that I'm not a massive SB fan but would NEVER scream out for him to get the elbow. Really hope that we play a more positive style of football and soon. Press the opposition without the ball and break with pace when we have it. We have all seen very poor squads at VP over the years and could all name some pretty sh! t 11's that have worn the shirt. This squad is not even close to being in that bracket. I sit in the Holte waiting for us to put 4 or 5 up a team as we are well capable of destroying teams in the division but it isn't quite happening. All I ask is that the team adopt a more positive mindset and play 10 yards further up the park.



16 Sep 2017 10:40:01
Yes mate play 10 yrs further forward and we will be ok
Must not get in this playing deep again,
Bruce must go for it.



16 Sep 2017 12:19:37
Well said Claret.



16 Sep 2017 12:14:12
Hopeful we don't always see eye to eye and again never take nothing personal in what I say bud but the abuse he is getting is terrible and some Villa fans should hang their heads in shame not only are they embarrassing our club but they are embarrassing their self's #INBRUCEITRUST.



16 Sep 2017 13:57:28
Totally agree villadaz. Hang their heads in shame indeed. We are a great club and normally great fans. The last few year we havn, t had much to shout about and in that time the fans have got into the habit of negative responces. If the fans can turn that around and roar their support i'm sure it will tranfer to the players on the pitch and they will raise their game. we need to do it whether we win or lose. VILLA FOREVER.



15 Sep 2017 20:00:06
Great stat highlighted on radio tonight! Wolves fans delighte with system manager and of course 4th place! Over last 4 games they pointed out Villa had same tally as the Wolves! Still believe Bruce has to win next match or will be gone!



15 Sep 2017 16:06:56
Just been on twitter and I think the writings on the wall for Bruce, and although I think sometimes his tactics (reading, Cardiff, Brentford) are awful, and a change may not be the worse thing, it is a shame that he has been drove out by the modern "social media" fan. Blaming Bruce for games such as Hull and Middlesbrough is plain idiotic, when you create as many chances as we did in them games you cannot blame a manager for not winning, it's ridiculous. In his press conference Bruce talked about Kodjia being ready, to which the 'fans' on twitter have said is desperate, stupid and something he should be sacked for because he could get injured and we should be able to beat Barnsley without playing the Kodjia 'get out of jail free card', now it can't just be me who sees that as absolutely mental. 1 - there's a whole medical team who will tell Bruce if Kodjia is fit to start or not, that's what their paid to do and Bruce can only go off what they tell him.
2 - realistically we should be able to beat Barnsley with the team we've got, however when Hogan (our only other senior striker, who is meant to have quality) is missing chance after chance, out of form and out of confidence, goal scoring players like Snodgrass and Hourihane can't catch a break hitting the bar and hitting our own player on the line, what else is Bruce meant to resort to?
It's like we're turning into a club with loads of plastic internet fans who dictate things over night, because they do or don't like someone. And it's quite strange because as Bruce said in his interview majority of people are behind him, it normally takes about 5-10 minutes after kick off before you hear Steve Bruce's claret and blue army, and brucey give us a wave - from the 30 thousand in the stands. Weird how the fans in the stand and the fans on the internet seem so far apart with their opinions, must be because one watches the football and makes and honest judgement of what they see and one just babbles nonsense because their not happy.
Personally if Bruce were to go we may get a manager who uses the squad better, plays better football and scores more goals, however for every David Wagner at Huddersfield there's a slutskiy at Hull - so there's risk involved.
Bruce's record suggests he will come good and should get us promoted, performances so far are 50/ 50 - some support that claim, some go against it. So either way there are positives and negatives. That being said fans have to start watching the football for what it is, not what they expect on paper. The whole Scott hogan is an amazing striker who's not being fed properly is just an example of many myths that are knocking around at the moment, the guy has had loads of goal scoring chances so far this season, he's just out of form, claiming Bruce don't know how to use him doesn't cover up the fact he is missing chance after chance atm. No matter what happens; get behind the team, call it as you see it and don't ever say you want us to lose so a manager gets sacked - that's not villa fans.

Good post Chris,
My worry is this media talk about this Garcia,
Can not see him being any better than Bruce if I'm honest,
Would rather let Bruce have at least another 4 games then decide which way or other,
Leave him alone and let's all hope he turns the corner,
But my big worry is leaving it to wyness and round to decide who next for the poison chalice.



15 Sep 2017 19:46:43
Garcia's record doesn't make him an obvious contender, but his brand of football I think. However there are just as many reports saying we haven't made contact as there are that we have now, so probably just rumours.



15 Sep 2017 20:31:14
Cracking post chris, on the money there fella, unfortunately i think we do have a short list drawn up, its rarely the first name linked, i just hope the boys bulldoze barnsley and we get really vocal backing bruce, that way, it might make the board take a step back and give brucey more time, as the yanks say, its time to chime.
UTV.



15 Sep 2017 14:43:57
I am feeling sorry for Bruce now,
The abuse he is getting from fans,
The media saying we have approached another manager to replace him with if it goes tits up,
I have said many timesboring fans that I'm not a Bruce fan but give him some slack now,
Garde had all the abuse going yet he had gabby and grealish playing up behind the scenes,
Plus he did not bring in any players and had to make do with what he had,
So I say let's all get behind the team.



15 Sep 2017 16:03:19
Good on ya Mainbob, well said sir, that little rascal brucey has got under my skin too and i can't help but want him to go all 'rocky balboa' and come good, now if we could only get walkies to forget himself and call a truce on bashing bruce, man, it would be a revolution i tell ya!
UTV!



15 Sep 2017 16:03:27
I think you are right let's get behind the team on Saturday and see what happens if we win it will be a good 3 points might build confidence and move us up the league.



15 Sep 2017 13:19:58
Lets hope they catch the person who put a bomb on the tube in london hopfully everybody ok.



15 Sep 2017 13:04:22
Barnsley 1 vs 3 Villa, If Kojia plays he will get at least 1 for us, UP THE VILLA.



15 Sep 2017 10:01:44
Just out of curiosity WTW, are you going to post the minutes from your fan consultation? Or are you going to wait until all the various fan groups release theirs and then more or less copy and paste them into here claiming there yours, like last year?



15 Sep 2017 14:25:03
You all have some cheek all I do is air my views because we are not doing very well and I get bullied off here. Now you want minutes from my Villa Trust meeting I was on which you are already calling me a liar even tho I told you all I was going on a meeting before you knew there was 1. Iam keeping off here now for a bit let you fight amongst yourselfs. no matter how much you all moan at me we are not going up under Bruce his results prove it!



15 Sep 2017 16:08:02
This was nothing to do with Bruce or the football mate, just asking you a question. Cheer up.



15 Sep 2017 16:10:34
Come on walkies, don't go all thespian actor on us mate, if you stop posting, there'll be no ying to my yang! come on you soppy so and so, keep reloading and shooting from the hip, that's what makes a good debate fella, just cut back on the burger sauce from the van mate, all that salt gets your blood up, have a peppermint tea
and crack on with the posts tiger!



16 Sep 2017 08:50:15
Don't bow down to the wounded puppy act.
Live by the sword die by the sword.

If you can't cope with people reacting to the carp you post, don't post it.

Leaving? I'll believe it when I see it.

If so, cya. 👋👋👋

My guess though, you'll just come back in under another new name.



15 Sep 2017 08:04:11
Even though I'm not a Bruce fan I don't like to see some on here wanting out team to lose on Saturday,
We all want our team to win don't we?
As for these Garcia rummors he looks no better than Bruce in my opinion,
Attacking free flowing football it ain't!



15 Sep 2017 08:55:47
Says it all Bob just to get proven right and to say I told you so instead of backing your team that person is a embarrassment to us true Villa fans good luck on your bet Bob 😙😙.



15 Sep 2017 09:02:13
Embarrassing isn't even the word, he can't call himself a fan and want the team to lose.



15 Sep 2017 09:26:56
The guy is a joke.
All he creates is bad feelings and loves that he angers everyone.
He has no class, and worse than that, he thinks he is intelligent. Posting questions, and everyone dances to his song! It's laughable.

He isn't a villa fan, anyone who actually wants a loss, to prove a point is to self obsessed to ever support a team sport.

He is poison, to this site, this club, and to any success we would ever get.



15 Sep 2017 09:56:12
I just hope and prey we get this very poor away form put to bed,
Another defeat is not on my agenda but it's up to Bruce and the players to get us that win,
I'm getting embarrassed seeing stories that we have approached another manager while we have one here now,
That is out of order and Bruce must feel terrible seeing it in the press,
I don't hate Bruce at all
I find him very pleasant person who I have spoken to and he does talk sense,
It's just I don't think he is good enough for villa the results tells me that,
But let him see out this storm and hopefully he turns it around
Up the villa!



15 Sep 2017 11:31:55
I don't want us to lose at all but if it meant getting rid of Bruce then surely if can only be a good thing because the new manager would surely go on to win more games than Bruce so yes short term you may lose 1 game but keep Bruce and we will lose most games. We should never of put another Bluenose in charge going after Blues managers is pathetic there's so many BlueNoses at our training we could be at ST Andrews. We suppose to be a big club who they going to appoint next Trevor Francis? Mind you this doesn't surprise me its coming from a club that can't even get season tickets out on time if they can't do the little things we are screwed when comes to big things!



15 Sep 2017 11:49:36
Exactly!



14 Sep 2017 23:48:29
So Steve Bruce has been here 11 months now, how do you all rate his performance over the 11 months out of 10?
