Ex Aston Villa defender backs decision to keep Steve Bruce in charge.

Aston Villa have made the decision to stick with Steve Bruce as manager, BBC Sport reported.

This follows speculation that Thierry Henry could be appointed in his place.

Former Aston Villa defender Stephen Warnock has given his view on the decision, and backed it as the right choice.

He hailed Bruce as a ‘good guy’ who deserves financial backing at Villa to try and help them become a success.

Villa were last season’s losing play-off finalists.

Warnock, 36, has recently retired, most recently playing for Bradford City.

The full-back signed for Villa in 2009 and stayed for four seasons before joining Leeds United in 2012.

Villa have just secured new investment, steadying the ship after a serious financial scare, although the amount of backing Steve Bruce will receive before the transfer window closes remains unclear.
