Some of the 'older' city will know but i remember the hatred in the late 70's.......Supporting the villa was just a no no..

I don't remember that. In the 1960's my father used to go and watch Birmingham, West Brom, Wolves and Villa usually whenever they played Man U or Tottenham which were the top clubs back then. I remember seeing Jimmy Greaves, Dennis Law, George Best and Bobby Charlton.

Genuine question when did Bruce leave? Didn’t even know he’d gone!

Just had a google he’s still manager. The way the story has gone around I’d assumed he was gone already

They'd be stupid to get rid of an established manager for a rookie, that took em to the play off final.
Gambled on getting to the promised land and lost, not exactly Bruce's fault that the owner wanted throw money at the "dream".

That’s life under new owners - especially in Birmingham it seems!

Could be onto something there...didn't Brum sack Rowett after taking them to around the play-off spots?! (may have been Derby).
