Idk about this Flores fellow he did win the Europa league with Atletico but aside from that I think they have underachieved with him abit. I mean looking at La Liga table, outside of the top 8, the most anybody is clear of relegation is 4 points, and Atletico sits in just 7th with what I think is a pretty talented squad. If I was going for a Spanish/Portuguese manager, it would have to be the Porto boss for sure.
Fair comment. I just thought I'd find out what fellow Villa fans would think if the story did turn out to be true. I do think that we need a real fresh approach once this pitiful season draws to a close. Not a season I want to remember, and I am hoping that there are some exciting times to look forward to; starting with pre-season and some re-shaping and over-hauling of our squad in the process.
But, for me, we have to keep Downing. That's a given. I think he will be an intrumental part of our re-building and future success from next season onwards. I am kind of resigned to losing Ashley now; but, it would be nice if somehow he was persuaded to stay...But, again; live in hope ONLY!!
