sidcow Posted February 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 22, 2020 It's time to go I'm afraid. We are regressing and dead certs for relegation. I would let JT have a run till the end of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Would just be nice having someone that can organise the defence. As much as people hate him, I do think Allardyce could get us up the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 There's something about Terry I'm not sure on Definitely the assumption that he's coaching our defence and our defence is **** awful But also the assumption that he'll have been offered jobs probably at championship level by now and he doesn't seem ready or overly interested, I look at his insta and see the time off he still gets with his family and how he's almost one of the lads still and wonder if he prefers the role we gave him rather than wanting to step up to manager increasing his work load and reducing his relationships with the players If Terry is responsible for coaching the defence then maybe its Terry we should be looking at replacing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood managed to save us. Sherwood is a shit coach. It proves that a passion merchant can be enough to get you over the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Get Rafa in now! He would bring us the carabeau cup. then the new manager bounce would see us safe. I think he'd come especially if the rumours of 150m in the summer if we stay up are true. An exceptional tactician with many honours in the game.

No it's too late now. Our fixture list is too brutal. Our window was during Christmas. For a potential new man at the very least get some winnable games. I can us getting a win against Newcastle but the rest of the games seem pretty hopeless to me. Edited February 22, 2020 by villalad21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In December I’d agree with this but I don’t think Rafa would take it now - I think we’ve missed the boat and purslow decision to back smith was a costly mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 1 minute ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: So the answer is clear, bring back Sherwood! Well 4 wins would probably get us safe so any short term boost and we'd have a more than decent chance of staying up. We were in a worse position when we sacked Lambert, think we only had 22 points at that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reference to Sherwood our mistake there was not sacking him in the summer So what do we do now, find a new Sherwood, stay up, sack him, get another new manager in? The quick fix motivational manager could do more damage to us long term Back to the argument before about fat Sam, desperation to stay in the PL could set us back further than relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 And this has also been talked about before - Rafa left Newcastle for a huge China pay day, he's one of the best paid managers in world football, circa £12m a year He is not coming back for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Smith lovers....here it is the soloution for you to keep your beloved. Purslow can send shockwaves through world football and show pity for Smith by doing a steve gibson. gibson brought in el Tel as co manager when Bryan Robson couldn't buy a win. Smith retains his position as head coach......whilst Rafa's title will be manager. Villa win the league cup, qualify for europe, keep Grealish and Rafa gets 200m to spend in Aug. Whats not to love?

Zatman Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 1 hour ago, sne said: Obviously nothing will happen until after the cup final but I honestly would not blame the club if they felt we needed a change to at least give it a try to stay up. Christian Gross perhaps? Just been released by Al-Ahli and has previously worked in Egypt so there is that connection. Made his name at Basel where he managed for 10 seasons. Might fit in since our current team resembles a Swiss cheese with all the holes... Desperate times. Vital Premier league experience as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
