Aston Villa are currently in 14th place in the Championship table.

Tony Xia has offered Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce a public vote of convince, despite a poor run of recent results.

Xia insists everything is in place at Villa for them to be successful in the future.

And his latest tweet would suggest that he is having no second thoughts about hiring Bruce, despite his side’s latest slump.

Villa spent big in the January transfer window to try and rectify the faults in their squad.

However, a 3-0 defeat to Brentford in their latest outing has destroyed much of the positivity that had been built up around Villa Park.

Brentford thoroughly outplayed Villa, and Bruce’s side have faced heavy criticism from their own supporters after that defeat.

Villa have made no secret of their desire to make it into the battle for the play offs, but they are having to play catch up.

The claret and blues currently sit in 14th place in the Championship table, 10 points back from the play off spaces.
