If they didn't want Bluenose Bruce, Mick McCarthy wouldn't be a bad call - he certainly wouldn't take any nonsense from the chancers and layabouts that currently make up a good part of his squad.
Haha... Good to see Mark Samuels' tweets there. He's a mate of mine, one I've taken delight in winding up every time Villa do something really crap. I've done that a lot in the past couple of years
But business is a results game - they live or die by their stock price - but no CEO would get just three months to turn around a company in long-term decline
I think ALL managers should be given at least six months before the S word is raised. But a club with a long-term malaise and deep-seated problems, like Villa, should really be giving its managers at least 18 months to turn things round - it's not going to happen in a few months.
What amazes me...
