Steve Bruce to Villa?

[sjamesb3466]

Stan Collymore reckons that Steve Bruce would be interested in the Villa job? http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stan-collymore-been-told-steve-11067143

Why would he even think of going there if it's true? Villa are all but down and I don't think Alex Ferguson coming out of retirement could keep them up from their position whereas Hull are still very much in the mix for promotion.

Good news for us though if a bit more uncertainty creeps in to the dressing room at one of our rivals.

That would be insane. Must be utter rubbish.

If Villa go down and Hull fail to go up maybe there'd be some truth in it...even then it'd be weird.

As it's Stan Collymore that's spreading the rumour I'd be inclined to think that it'll come to nothing, whilst serving as yet another 'look at me' from him. I await the bounces when it turns out to be true...

Not just Colly,ore - the rumour has been floating for a while, and coincides with Hull's dip in form.....

There would have to be some problems behind the scenes at Hull for this to be true

Let's hope so

Villa will struggle in the Championship next season....

Is this the same Stan Collywobble that tipped Forest for a play off place a few weeks back?

So did we last season so that is no guide. 3 or 4 incoming players would change them dramatically.

An owner that threatens to sell every 5 minutes when he doesn't get his way over renaming the team to 'Tigers'

Not much different to Lerner then - who has said Villa are up for sale many times over, only reason he's still there is because he hasn't been able to find a buyer.

A buyer at the inflated right price to him !

Collymore's predictions are about as good as Adrian Durham, who predicted Hull, Burnley and Derby are dead certs to go up.

TBH if Villa want to get out of the Championship this season they need to get an experienced Championship manager in ASAP, they have no chance with Garde in charge so who knows.

They'll lose players first

Yes I really think that they might. The club seems to be rotten from the top right down to the bottom, with a few senior first team players seemingly running the dressing room, and the remainder made up largely of kids, it's a recipe for disaster.

In many ways too, the Championship is more physical than the Premier League, and is becoming more and more difficult to get out of. I'm afraid I can see them slipping right the way through to League One.

Agree entirely, they are a basket case and a shadow of the club they used to be.

Yeah exactly that.......has all the hallmarks of a proper crisis there really - not sure they've got the stomach for the Championship
