Mantis Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I don't get the love for Sam Allardyce. Fair enough if Sunderland were doing a lot better than us but they're really not. Isn't Allardyce supposed to be some sort of safety master? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 13 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: Garde is too nice a guy but he needs to do a Graham Taylor mark 1 and say to Lerner's face that Villa are a shambles at the moment. I think that is what he is saying here "Aston Villa is a prestigious club in England on the exterior. But inside, there are lots of things that need to be done". 13 hours ago, The Fun Factory said: But given sensible backing and time he can turn us around. Sadly I doubt he will get either.

It's Your Round Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm hoping that the la k of January investment was purely down to them thinking we're already down and not wanting to pay over the odds for mercenaries. And that in the summer they'll put the funds in to rebuild. Surely the board aren't that stupid to not realise it's needed. Ok so they probably are but being optimistic that's what I hope will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allardyce would have been a decent appointment had we made it. But the way I feel right now I'd take Remi over him any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree actually but the way some people are talking about him now is just bizarre given how Sunderland aren't doing much better than us.

Moronic post. I would take PL over everything, being in the Championship is a tragedy for this club. We might not return in decades - look at the long list of former big clubs like Leeds and Forest. Besides, what has Remi Garde done here? He has no track record from France - and he has won two games during his entire stint here. Woeful, just terrible. He is crying over the lack of business and signings, but what about the job he did before signing the contract? Clearly he has not done his due diligence.

Fair enough, I was in the same boat. I'm glad we didn't do that but I do wish we'd let Sherwood go and got Garde sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I wonder what his definition of 'backed' is, does he mean just not having a fire sale of our better players or if he wants decent funds to spend? I can't really see him having any money from Randy. I just hope a buyer for the club is found, against all odds, to convince him that things could improve again.

abdulaziz1 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 When have Sunderland appointed Allardyce? Was it before Newcastle? If not then he has the ratio as Garde or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he definition of backed will be "I want to sign x,y,z" and actually getting the targets he wants. I don't think he will accept not getting his targets and I don't think he will accept Paddy Reilly's list of alternative suggestions either.
