Manager: Steve Bruce

Appointed: October 2016

The fan view: Steve Bruce still has a tough job on his hands to turn the fortunes around of the once European champions.

There is still a lot of dead wood floating around Villa Park that needs to be removed. The fans are, as close to, 100% behind him and think that he is definitely the man for the job to get Villa back in the Premiership.

Expectations are promotion and only promotion, through the playoffs or, preferably, in the top two.

That is setting the bar really high, promotion and only promotion. I am not sure they will do it at first attempt though.

They had a premier league squad last season and finished mid table!

Third time lucky I reckon. Play offs and miss out this year. Then a new manager and promotion year after.

mid table, they will start off good. but fade. old players, no pace.
although i said start good, i dont think they will cope with our pace. i think we will put 2/3 on them.

Terry was a good signing, if they got players around him who can do what he can't. I.E. quick, keep up with the quickest players.
But all they've done is signed names.... sure we've tried this before and failed.

Whelan, another good signing. If he had pace around him. people who can do what he cant.

but that's going to be there problem. too slow. and wont last the season.

I can't see them doing much and I think they will lose a couple of players late on in the transfer window
