Chris wilder or Neil Harris We'll be a premier league team next year if he joins us. Better than messing around in a 1 horse race for a year.

thabucks Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 IMO Rodgers egotism will mean he will want to get the better over Gerrard before leaving next summer, rather than jumping ship now to join our current sh1t show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unheard of. It's fair to dash any overambitious dreams when you're owned by Joe Bloggs, but Christian Purslow doesn't take a job at a club without money and ambition. Managers are the same, they can see the long term picture - in fact it is spelt out to them from day one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to happen for him at Crystal Palace, Everton or for England but all 3 were cut short. It could be an inspired choice if he's serious about the job.

USA_Villa Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Brentford won again. 20 shots today, 6 on target with 55% possession with their best striker suspended. Sold one of their best players in the week and have an average age of 23. Solid performances week in and week out even with selling their best. Please call Dean Smith tomorrow afternoon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Big Sam is the only realistic and also good option I can think of off the top of my head, though he's an arch pragmatist even compared to Bruce so it'd be interesting to see how well it'd go down with some of the fans. Rafa or Rodgers would be great but there's no chance of either anytime soon if we're being sensible, and I'm really not arsed with any Henry shouts or even a Dean Smith type. If we're being honest a tiny, tiny minority of Villa fans would be willing to show the patience that would probably be required if one of those types were to get the job considering that would mean an even longer period spent in the Championship. Watch Bruce turn it around anyway after the international break but if it transpires that if we're looking for a manager soon I think Allardyce will end up being sought after.

Its when not if - don't see much beyond Bristol City away 28/9 TBH - The new signings might buy him a bit of time - but not much. - Dug his own grave with outgoing loans of Elphick and especially Steer.

Not sure - but they only finished mid table - and so have Brentford - (where the players are purchased for him) Think he would be disaster TBH - be surprised if he last beyond the seasons end. - and think CP will think bigger - Billic as the default option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we've seen what happens when you throw a bunch of players on a pitch and ask them to work it out themselves. Dean Smith is a coach that has a philosophy on how his team should play, prepares them, coaches them, and consistently has his team playing good football and performing above where you would expect them to be. I want some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
