Steve Bruce’s side will be massively underachieving if they don’t finish in the top six.
Stan Collymore has revealed his strong feelings regarding current Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce and claimed he wants him to leave the club.
There seems to be a divide within the fanbase about their manager and some would be thrilled to see the 57-year-old depart the Midlands giants.
His side sit seventh in the Championship table after the opening eight league games and they cruelly lost out in the play-offs last season on promotion back to the Premier League.
Ex-Villa forward Collymore insists that the current squad would be much better going forward under new management, stating that Bruce’s time at the club should be up.
“[Bruce] Out. Big wages, good talent, p*** poor consistency. Yesterday’s manager,” Collymore wrote on his personal Twitter account.
Senior man Bruce has a great track record of promotion during his time in management and has four to boast on his CV already.
He now has a talented bunch of players at Villa Park to work with, including brilliant January signings such as Tammy Abraham and Yannick Bolasie.
But some fans feel that Bruce doesn’t have a plan B in matches and isn’t the right man to lead the club forward.
Bruce’s tactics can be a bit outdated at times, but there would be great risk in a managerial change and it’s hard to argue with his record in the Championship.
