Former Villa striker Garry Thompson told BBC WM 95.6:
"The decision had to be made. This club has to get promoted.
"There is a quality collection of players who just need a bit of coaching and a bit of guiding, and then they will score goals.
Dam if only he had told Bruce this a few months ago .....I wonder if he will be passing on any nuggets regarding not conceding

Three points off fifth, playoff final last season. Owners must be nuts. Imagine if Sami takes them to 19th

Glory hunting since 1969
However, one name that has taken a fair few people by surprise is Sami Hyypia who can currently be backed at 14/1 to return to English soil with Villa.
During his playing days the former defender accumulated over 300 appearances for Liverpool, where he won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, a brace of FA Cups and League Cups, a couple of Community Shields, plus two UEFA Super Cups, before ending his career over at Bayer Leverkusen.
In 2012 the ex-Finland international then ventured into the managerial world with the German club - firstly as joint manager, then solo - with whom he led to 3rd in the Bundesliga and into the Champions League, before suffering the sack in 2014.
Hyypia would then return to England with Brighton, but it’s fair to say he had a shocker, resigning from his post after six months following a woeful run of one win from 18 matches.
He was last seen at the helm of Swiss side FC Zurich, a position he held for the majority of the 2015/16 season, with the club subsequently relegated from the top-flight.
Given Hyypia’s dubious record in the managerial arena, it would be a huge shock if Aston Villa opted for his services, although you simply never know these days…

I bet Villa under the new owners and with their next manager, now blatantly cheat their way to the PL (as Leicester, QPR & Bmuff did), and won't mind paying a relatively low penalty for doing it.
Watch this space.
They are already up to the EFL FFP limits, but will want to get PL level players in on big wages, to get them up.

Apparently Bruce has been linked with the Anderlecht job. Perhaps in Brussels sprout the green shoots of opportunity?
Like Notts County and Preston North End. Heritage. Morally superior to clubs like ourselves with no history or fans.

I'll always remember when Villa came down here in our promotion season...a group of them chanting ''you're only here for the Villa'' (crap)..there was this sense of entitlement from them...I loved going up there at the end of the season ..us promoted....them no where....joyLike Notts County and Preston North End. Heritage. Morally superior to clubs like ourselves with no history or fans.

How did he miss Bruce with that
Well his throw outs weren't all that!
Good news if he gets back to writing fantastically awful novels.
Here's a link to a review of his first. Having owned the book if anything this understates just how mind bogglingly inept his writing is.

What really angered him was he didn’t know what it was

They do have an excellent set of payers that Bruce was woefully mismanaging, surprising really as he was exactly the kind of manager you'd think would stroll a promotion at a club like Villa, but hes clearly lost it somewhere along the way. Get the right guy in and they should get themselves back up sooner than later
That is amazing. Just amazing.

Latest betting to replace Bruce.

Right I’m off to the football love, keys, phone and a cabbage.. sorted 
You have to remember that Steve lost both his parents in the last year and prior to that between them they had lengthy illnesses. When someone close to their parents are going through that, it can be difficult to make work your priority during that time.
Steve has been successful in Management many times at Championship level and he will be again, if he chooses to continue in Management. Personally, I think the man should welcome and take the break he probably needs for a bit and recharge his batteries.
During his time off with his ailing parents, Steve's ''Assistant'' obviously wasn't up to the task of stepping into his shoes. Probably because he is more used to hanging on to the ''shirt tails'' of better Coaches and Managers than himself.

I didn't know that.
He kept changing between 1 up front and 2 up front, and switching positions of players like Grealish, regardless of whether the team played well, a sign of a muddled mind and clearly he had a lot on his plate.
Also, the impression you're giving from your last sentence is that CH is still quite bitter about CC leaving, which thus suggests he hasn't been able to properly replace him.
