Zatman Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 FWIW Purslow sacked Benitez at Liverpool, he is never ever coming here with Purslow at the club. Purslow also had a go at him when sacked at Chelsea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people so protective of it? Because Dean is a boyhood Villa fan. If he was a Scotsman with grey hair and a thick accent these same people would be bashing him.

VillaChris Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Leandro Jardim about to be sacked by Monaco for a second time. That said he was their manager when they got to the CL semi finals in 16/17 so another contender for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an improvement on what we currently have, as was said many times during the matches, it’s not even clear what our side is trying to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I would be very happy with Rafa but I don’t think he would come - why repeat the Newcastle nightmare? I would also be very happy with Hughton. So there is probably the answer. Unfortunately I can’t register this on the the poll. So the poll is about as badly set up as most of our starting XIs atm.

Fergie has said he's an underrated manager and i tend to agree. Allardyce is very good and effective at what he does. It would take one month of his hoofball and neanderthal tactics before both you and about 10 others here would complain and bitch about the quality of football and call for him to be replaced. Ironically probably with a manager that can implement a more modern possession based football.

useless Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Only just realized there was a poll, I voted for Pochettino, as I think the feel good factor and the buzz that his appointment would generate would get us to safety by itself before you even begin to think about what a good manager that he is. Would be a surprise to get him though, the closest to him that we might be able to get is probably the already mentioned Gallardo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Big names won’t come to us and I don’t want a journey man manager and jump on that bandwagon. Sticking with Smith thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Does anybody seriously think Smith is going to be sacked in the near future? Let’s say by the end of January. I think there is zero chance of that happening. Sounds like people are keen for a change but do they think the board will, I don’t. Feels like this thread is redundant because despite some of the fans wanting a change it isn’t going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was a Scotsman with grey hair and a thick accent these same people would be bashing him. Has absolutely nothing to do with it. A few on this site actually understands that we got limited players and a very thin squad. Thus any manager we got will face the same problems. Lets just assume we get in a manager like Posch or Wilder for that matter (because everyone has been wanking over him for a month), do you suddenly think our players like Elmo, El Ghazi, Lansbury, Hourihane, Jota, will adapt to high pressure intensive physical football? No ofc. they won't. Because they don't have it in them. We got the players we got. Let Deano work this stuff out. He got us promoted. He was given a difficult task of rebuilding an entire team or even club. We spent £ 127 million this summer on 10 players after basically having the squad shredded. This sounds a lot, but in a market where McGuire was sold for £ 85 million it's really not. We ended up being forced to buy in a different quality shop than we probably wanted. The only legitimate complain we can have is Wesley. To now wanting him sacked because we have a tough run of results is just pathetic. Especially when we know we faced the exact same stuff last season, and we came back from it. I also remember the same people here talking about having him sacked last January. And all of this is after half a season is done and we are 1 or 2 points from the spot we should be content with, i.e. survival. Pathetic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
