Zatman Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 they probably saw how his team defended vs Barcelona last season and said this guy is perfect to replace Arsene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 MOntreal manager looked familiar then i realised was Remi Garde. I can see they are near bottom of MLS so nothing has changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the right backing he'd be one of the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted May 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2018 Pellegrini to West Ham confirmed. That’s a good appointment for them I’d say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The money in the PL makes it possible for the clubs to bring in top level managers. I'd hate for us to go through this struggle to get back there and then bring a knife to a gun fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly top level Panic appointments brought in during season because of lack of options. And now they are deemed surplus requirement except Moore who will get a shot in the Championship. No ambitious club would go into the season with this lot. All I'm saying is that it will be immensely difficult and we need all the advantages we can get. Having as good a manager as our money can buy is a very good start. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Anyone notice Claudio Ranieri has decided to part ways with Nantes? Would take him as our manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League seems to be 3 groups. 1) Man City 2) The other 5-6 teams fighting over the European spots 3) Everyone else who could get relegated. What do you expect from Villa if we are promoted? Realistically we'll be in that third group. Unless we'll getting cut off by Christmas then we shouldn't be changing manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt we'll be in group 3. Hopefully thou it will be more than just survival that is the aim next season should we go up. Building a new squad, develop our existing players and building a foundation for how to play and progress long term. And so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 So one of my favorites for the Villa job back in the day Lucien Favre takes over at Dortmund. Good luck to him, been a turbulent couple of years there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hundreds of times more likely for any team in group 3 to get relegated than to break into the top 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it would depend on what the foundations are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
