That Arun on The Tournament should be on a national list somewhere. Odd chap. 

Hassenhutl is a weird one. He clearly is a decent manager and I’d say Southampton have always been a bit of a yo-yo team so it’s hard to tell whether it’s him or just them being them. Sometimes top half, sometimes bottom half, sometimes relegated. It’s hard to judge him. 

Bielsa is another I wouldn’t say no to but I’d also be very wary and scared as he is batshit mentally insane. 

Nuno is another that i’d be wary of but maybe could do a decent job. Unsure of him but not against the idea.

Id say out of Poch, Tuchel, Jose and Emery that Emery is the most gettable. Tuchel and Jose wouldn’t look at us, Poch maybe if we chucked loads of money at him but he probably won’t come imo. 

Id be very happy with Emery.

Everyone else mentioned (Dyche, Parker et al) can do one. 

It doesn’t make you a better fan to moan about other fans in off topic. It’s not toxic to have an opinion that you don’t agree with either. I don’t agree with a few posters about our manager, they aren’t toxic people though. I wish I understood their completely wrong and misguided thoughts () but they are still fellow Villa fans worthy of opinion.

Even posters who hope we lose are still people who are just reacting emotively to a strongly emotive sport, they are still Villa fans and are at least passionate about the club. To suggest someone go and support someone else is just acting like a smug ‘I’m a better fan’ word removed.

Every week someone posts in here about how much they hate on topic, just accept that people have different opinions and most of what is said is never personal and is very reactive, sometimes misguided and knee jerky. It doesn’t make them bad people. Just human.

Brilliant .

I don’t think he needs to be sacked, I certainly don’t trust him all that much at the moment but as others have suggested, restrict his role in terms of the football side of things and he should focus on the corporate and commercial side 100% instead. If he fronts up and sacks Gerrard and gets the next appointment right that will go some way in restoring trust and making up for this current situation.

I think @JAMAICAN-VILLANis probably right, though, I'd be surprised if they haven't drawn up a shortlist of replacements, but it's hard to get the timing right mid-season. That's part of the reason we ended up with Gerrard in the first place, and they don't want to repeat the mistake.

The World Cup break could be a more natural time to line someone up.

Oh I agree with him 100%, said as much in the NSWE thread. It’s the comment towards other posters lower down that’s unneeded considering how much other posters are called out to stop doing stuff. 

If you are approaching and sounding out other managers then just sack the word removed and put someone else in until a new guy is found. 

What was this mystery press conference about today then? Or just internet bull hocks?

Game by game by game by game by game by zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If they need a cheap substitute for Mos Eisley then Northfield Town Centre would be good shout. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Any tips on uploading pics very welcome!

 

The link works fine. Some good designs there. I really really love the AV one as it lends to the rumoured lamppost design as well as being modern and dare I say it, almost Juventus like.

But somehow the Lion has to be there as does the words Aston Villa for me. You did do one with the Lion above the words, with a classier font and stretch the Villa so it’s the same width as Aston then that’s a winner for me. 

But that AV one is my favourite!

Missed the game, but were we really expecting to beat Chelsea - we’re fighting against relegation.

Is the point most are making against him.

What are you on about we were 2-0 down when he made subs. Yes he could have changed things earlier but we were still creating chances

. 

We should have been ahead of half time. 

They scored and we didn’t. So we weren’t.

We should have been ahead at Half time and when it was 2-0  the game was gone anyway. 

But we weren’t. 

Terrible. Forrest Gump of the PL.

Players are letting Gerrard down. Mings had a striker and Martinez should have done better from the freekick and we still cant score despite creating numerous chances. 

Wtf lol. Blind. Best 45 minutes we’ve ever played ever that first half and we still lost it. Poor Stevie. 

“But that first 45 minutes guys! The first 45 minutes………”.

We’ll be hearing that for a few years I think from a few on here who love the slippy scouse word removed. 

Newcastle are 6th. Gerrard is shit. Sack the clearing.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of Gerrard. However, this defeat is not on him.

It’s a lack of composure that has prevented us from scoring and two individual areas that have cost us the goals. 

The same as it was 10 months ago. He’s done nothing to change or progress us whatsoever. 

Dendo on.

Gotta protect the loss. 

Gerrard’s tactics must be to shake a bowl of alphabetti spaghetti and see what words pop up.

Smith was sacked after good performances against Chelsea. The reasoning was that 10 points from 11 games wasn't good enough for the "continuous improvement" of 11th place from the season prior. Well, a year on and it's 9 points from 10 games after finishing 14th.

But but but he could be on 12 points after 11. Progression!!!!!

Of course Bailey off. Lol.

Cant wait for a decent manager to come in.
