I don't think it's an issue for the vast majority. It was 10 years ago. Even the McLeish hatred was more for him being shit than being a Bluenose.
Support is certainly not universal, but more for not being an inspiring choice than having managed Small Heath. We're hanging on to the hope that he's done promotion enough times before and can do it again. I don't think anyone thinks he's going to be massively long term.
Get a few wins and he'll be fine but I don't expect him (or anyone) to get much leeway if we don't start improving fast.Still - at least it's not Schteve.

Will Villa fans forgive/respect him after managing Birmingham for so long?
Does this mean his rope will be shorter than any other manager?
and does Tony X really believe that Bruce is the best man to get you up and keep you up?
