Steve Bruce believes that Aston Villa are capable of bouncing back and reaching the Premier League next season.

Bruce is disappointed he was not able to get Villa up into the Premier League.

They lost the playoff final to Fulham, who will now be in the top division of English football.

Villa is in a dangerous financial situation, which means they will not be able to do much strengthening of the squad.

But Sky Sports News reports that Bruce is still confident that he has a core group of players that is good enough to make the jump to the Premier League at the end of next season.
