Flackie, got to ask you mate.
I am not on about club stability now or if you like Mr Bruce as a man,
Are you happy with our performances and progress as a team under the guidance of Bruce and his staff.

From when Dave?
In comparison to the shambles the club was in when he came, I think we are a million miles better.

And no, I think we are not great entertainment to watch. and I’ve also said, on here, recently that I think Bruce has ran his race. but that isn’t the issue Dave.

The issue is the fact, every post, every thread, every single comment, (from a select few) and some answer their own posts, or post ten times to make one comment are saying the same fact.
It’s boring, it’s tedious, and it has totally ruined this forum.

Some of us, you and me included, have been here years, not many left. These people who leave, don’t stop being hills fans, or supporters, they don’t come here as can’t get a word in edge ways, or give an opinion, with out it getting shouted over by certain addictive posters.

It’s not fun anymore, it’s not a place for villans, it’s a shouting contest.

Thanks for your reply Flackie.
We are in a better place as a club, but that is not what I was referring too.
Not to worry we got there in the end, so I take it you would replace him if you could?
The rest of your post I have to agree with in principle, and yes it can become predictable and tiresome.
To be honest I let things like that go over my head unless it is personal, then I will bite back.
Like you say we have been on here some years now and I have to admit it has lost a lot of the fun element which is a great shame.
Anyway, I am pleased you are back mate, and hope we can celebrate come the end of the season.

Yeah, I think he should leave, but I think the lack of respect we as fans are showing him, after the way he stopped us falling in to oblivion is a disgrace.

Respect is a graduated emotion, and is given in different ways.
I respect Bruce immensely as a pro and as a person, but I have realised that he is very limited as a manager and relies on old heads, old legs and so called experience.
I think you or I could manage a football team using those ingredients, so that’s where my respect ends and becomes frustration because us fans see the flaws that he has.
Must say he was a good defender and is a nice bloke too boot, it’s a shame but the club comes first.

Flackie, as Iv said before, whether you love Brucie or hate him, the position we have been in, we could not afford to replace him . We were near to oblivion, and Brucie rescued it and with a bit more luck and better decisions we could of gone up . When you reach the point of players, paying for their own food, you know we are in trouble . I agree Brucie, doesn’t seem to see that tactics need changing . But now with the talent we have, perhaps he will be forced into it . The man has made mistakes, but financially we haven’t been in a place to do anything about it .
Nice to see you back on .
Onwards and Upwards Villaforever.

I think we are all saying the same thing, his time has gone, but he should leave with our thanks, with us as fans using our brains and seeing what he did for the club, rather than with us all giving him the finger.
With all he went through personally last year, (and I do agree that Bruce the man, and Bruce the football manager are two separate entities) the loyalty, decorum and respect he has shown to the club, should be shown back at him.

I do think he should leave, and I think it should be sooner rather than later, but in the right way. We need to hold our heads high, and look our selves in the eye.
