sidcow Posted May 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 26, 2018 He needs to prove to us he has some money and can play the game to get it into the club by nefarious means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 His heart has always been in the right place but has blown it twice now on the manager front. He needs to move quickly, not just on the manager front but also in terms of the 'football people' behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I guess that your twitter account will be getting a much needed rest now. So, after two disastrous managerial appointments and a load of money wasted who is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted May 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2018 I am sure he is as gutted as the rest of us tonight but like the rest of us he will have to put things in perspective. He inherited a shambles from top to bottom. A club that had been poorly run for years. A club that was toxic and had lost its connection with the most important part of any club the supporters. Now two years on we have missed out on promotion by a whisker and it hurts like hell but there has still been lots of progress in two years most significantly that players now have pride in the shirt and fans again have a connection with the club and the toxic atmosphere has gone. I don't see Xia throwing the towel in and neither will most of us. We'll once again be the biggest club in this division next season and that should mean we can out do all but those who came down in terms of finances. We'll be up there again next season and when we do get back where we all believe we belong it will be all the sweeter for the pain we feel now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right managerial appointment and we'll be better for it. He has got it wrong twice, improvements under Bruce yes, but not good enough. I personally think we have blown a golden opportunity given how our financial position will now be significantly affected by drop offs in parachute payments, and what have we got left to show for it? A squad that needs to be massively rebuilt due to a combination of wages we cannot afford and aging players.

We were in for a crack at promotion, got us to Wembley with a team that for most of the season have been really fighting for it and we lost out by a goal.

villabromsgrove Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I think you know what you've got to do with our senior managers. It has to be done for the good of AVFC. Young modern thinkers have to be employed to take us forward. I watched you today, watching the first half, and the likes of those young exciting Fulham players and their dynamic coach are the future for clubs who want to be successful. I'm looking forward to watching a young and vibrant coach and Villa team taking us forward next season. Love ya Dr T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His proclamations at the start of his reign are looking so foolish and misguided right now Bit harsh. He's put faith in proven people at this level (players and manager) to get us up. Appointing a manager with 4 promotions on CV from this division was hardly the worst move. Bad luck he hasn't done the same here. All these grand proclamations were obviously with us back in the premier league...which is proving the hard part. Considering all the seasons Lerner squandered in the premier league I wouldn't criticise him until we get there and see what he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely he did that at the start? We will be hamstrung by FFP in any case so we need to grow more organically from this point rather than more quick fixes.

Reivax_Villa Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 He is hurting like all of us. I think in the next few weeks we are going to see how relentless and how obsessed he is with getting this club promoted. I believe that he has planned for this outcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
