Mind you.....not with a ten foot barge pole would JT go near that......or me. Edited February 10, 2021 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only he will know, when the times right and the right job comes up.....I will be sad to see him go though. I think he has had a huge affect on our players.

I absolutely don’t blame him for wanting to take the next step but we’re not here to provide him with a cushy little number whilst he permanently job hunts elsewhere. I now wish to retract this statement I made earlier... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, I think JT would do okay with Harry as an assistant but it would be a big risk without him for his first stint as a manager. Atleast Smith has said he won't stand in JT's way if he decides to leave. Sorry some sort of technical/human error cock up. I can’t remember what I was about to say other than something along the lines that Harry is a crook and JT should beware. Anyway it sounds like he’s staying now, which is good as it may have been disruptive to our season at this stage. If he wants to go it would be better for us and him if it wasn’t mid season. All depends how driven he is. I’d say he’s got a good life now. Still in the game and no real pressure, what’s not to like? It’s not as though he needs the money. Stay and help build The Villa Era. It looks like the new Liverpool era didn’t last long so you might as well . Edited February 11, 2021 by blandy Sorted formatting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Probably waiting for the Aston Villa manager job. Foot in the door already. Smart thinking. I suspect Smith is going nowhere anytime soon, but we know how it is in football. I am very cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 He needs to go somewhere, where he can build a culture and has the backing to do so.....just like Dean has done. That needs time and patience, not being thrown in to the lions den for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 13, 2021 There was talk of Celtic this week, which might be a better option than Bournemouth - I mean, you're pretty much guaranteed to win a lot of games and it's easier to look good as a manager at one of the bigot factories. Be odd to see a Liverpool legend at Rangers and a Chelsea legend at Celtic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
