Hornso Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 1 hour ago, Zatman said: His football isnt the best to watch and very negative. Seems a decent initial motivator ala Sherwood but after bright start at Swansea it went downhill Here's his reasoning behind it going downhill at Swansea: Bottom of the table, nobody wanted to come to last place club and have a relegation on their CV (Nicolás Gaitán & Kevin Gameiro had fees agreed but didn't want to come). Losing Bony, Fer & Renato Sanches to long term injuries at the January transfer deadline or just after it had closed. Jordan Ayew getting sent off against Huddersfield after 11 minutes and his subsequent suspension. Considering he missed out saving Swansea by 3 points maybe it could be argued he deserves a pass? Podcast is definitely worth a listen though if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I doubt anyone is going to like an agreement where it's "we'll give spudface a chance but when he turns out to be shit like we think he is then we'll give you the job after the transfer window has just closed". or he was going to join Bordeaux and got a call from NSWE............ 'wait... you might be needed at VP' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thabucks Posted August 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Please can someone explain the Rafa love in as I can’t see it personally other than he won the champs league against the odds 13 years ago ..... surely he is just a slightly better Spanish version of Bruce, moyes or allardyce. Genuine question as I’m intrigued..... Edited August 30, 2018 by thabucks Added other managers I believe are the same ilk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question as I’m intrigued..... He also prefers Joselu over Mitrovic. Mitrovic will come back and haunt him when he moves on for massive money from Fulham. Rafa isn't as good as people think! makes plenty of mistakes inc signings. I would be dismayed if he ever turned up at Villa.

I'd take Allerdyce, local to Villa so knows the clubs creed and let's not forget, bar some dodgy dealings (which I couldn't give to **** about) he was an international head coach with a very good record. Definitely an upgrade on Captain drawalot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Big Sam Allerdyce does love his analytics and of this I approve. He is a proper student of the game and he spends a huge amount of time getting into the details. The only problem I have with this is that like Bruce, he has never produced a team that I have enjoyed watching play football. For all his study he has turned out fairly run of the mill, direct, physical teams, with the odd creative player thrown in to create something out of nothing. An improvement on Bruce he may be, but when the first word that springs to mind for me to describe the way his teams play is turgid, I'd take a pass on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Big Sam is no different than Bruce. He will be a short term manager spending big on wages for over the hill players on last contracts while also playing crap football. He had one window at Everton and now they are stuck with 20 million Theo Walcott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Brendan Rodgers? Hmmm, well he is making noises about not being happy. Plus we have signed McGinn who he clearly wanted. Now another Celtic target Makoudi looks to be on his way to us. What if we're actually working on Brendan's list of targets, ready for when he arrives during the international break??!!! It's the perfect strategy, it has to be true I mean it's either him or... what's that other manager who seemed to be in for all the same players as us... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
