Would anybody be in favour of giving Henry ago? he's a winner as a player and he's played for the biggest clubs in the world. I believe he would play a passing game. 1 thing is for sure its never dull at Villa Park.

i'd be willing to give him a go. I don't see what bruce can do more than he did but this time with a worse squad and mo money to spend.

i've believed for a long time that the problem at villa is an ethos problem, a lack of team identity. and i do not belive steve bruce is the manager to develop that. take a look at the reactions last season to use chasing the game; from the bench we just threw on more forwards, there was never an alteration of tactic to adjust to the game.

the most successful managers int he world are the ones who have a way of playing and the team buys into it. no team can simply have the best personel and make it work, similar to moyes at man utd.

we have exciting young players who play without fear, players that can change a game, instead we started many games with whelan on the bench. a proffessional but not one that will change the flow of the game.

bruces transfers have also been suspect, buying a right back when we have multiple (elmo), not buying a left back when we have only 1, hogan and grabban brought in and stifling hepburn-murphy and knibbs, onomah coming in instead of trusting in o'hare, or doyle-hayes.

look at the amount of money ploughed into so called experienced players instead of develping one of the most exciting u23 sides in the country.

the question the bruce supporters are omitting to consider, is how much money would bruce have needed to spend to improve that play off final side for the premier league? and who are these players?
