Villarocker Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Those suggesting Pearson because of how he got Leicester to the Premier League; would you also take Nigel Adkins as he did a similar, if not better, job at Southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkins never got a full season in Prem did he? I think they got rid even though not in relegation zone. Pearson did more to stabilise the club IMO Saints had a very sound behind the scenes team something we haven't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF it's Pearson, who I take it you don't want, it doesn't follow that it will then be shit does it ? You may not like him but it isn't like wed be appointing my missus. And IF it's Pearson why assume it will also be Black ? And if it is why assume that will be shit too ? Things are bad enough as they are without writing us off over imagined appointments for failings they may not have !! Unfortunately we are shit. shit remains shit unless you get rid of it and replace it with something other than shit. RL replaces shit with shit. now that we have so much shit on board, one can no longer tell the non-shit from the actual shit. Maybe we need someone who is really shit, who recognises the shit, points out who the shit is, then as some who is so shit, gets rid of all the shit. Then we can start again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, does Moyes need convincing? Don't know if anyone else heard it, but Ray Wilkins was on Talksport last week and when discussing Moyes he said that the Villa and Celtic jobs wouldn't interest him one iota! Only a Premiership job was going to interest him!! Make of that what you will. Ray Wilkins was a shit footballer. He is/was a shit coach. He's an even more shit pundit. His ONLY success was his voice over for the Tango'ed ads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Adkins is concerned, you could argue that he was sacked too early and because of that we don't know what he was really capable of achieving with that team. Just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point we had gone five games unbeaten, including two wins. He joined the club and the decline in performances and results accelerated. The team he left, Rotherham, were dead and buried and since he left a new coaching team has been brought in and they've saved themselves. I'd give that as pretty good evidence that he's no good as a coach. As are the many relegations Black has been part of. 100% this ^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 For Pearson: Do we have a good scouting network, such as the one he had at Leicester? Will he have the financial backing here, that he had to get Leicester promoted? Will he have the backroom staff that he had at Leicester? Thise are the important questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely all of these factors are applicable to every manager? It's not likely that anyone coming to villa will say to Hollis- don't worry about my scouting network and you can keep your money. moyes- would most probably want a kings ransom to come here.

Not when Leicester had a bigger budget in the championship than most, far bigger than we would have. So no. Sane goes for scouting. We don't have a scouting network. Leicester did. Thirdly. I'm talking about Prarson which is, strangely, why I used his last club. Edited May 9, 2016 by DK82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
