villa4europe Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 yeah with the rumoured buy out clause and the Chelsea buy back option (they apparently have a match the accepted bid option too) it was always likely he was going this summer regardless of relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Can't believe he didn't get booked for the first one on Jack. Second one (if he was on a yellow at that point) was just an nothing challeng on edge of box and Doug was already going down as contact was coming. Even then it's a final warning and you can see as he body checks McGinn he looks up expecting to be sent off and is surprised when Atkinson dosen't go for his pocket. Was right on HT and Howe subbed him straight off. Seems to be plenty of love for Billing in the transfer thread but I don't think he's that great and he's not even a DM, more a box to box player and we have better here.

Zatman Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I don't see the Billing hype either, l be surprised if another top flight team goes for him except maybe a newly promoted one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Howe must have realised how little money from the parachute payments he would have to rebuild the squad and sensibly has left. I am sure he will get another job within 6 months. Bournemouth could be a interesting watch in the next 12 months. Redknapp in? Triffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I think Howe waits until the first round of sackings in October/November and ends up at a club like Newcastle/West Ham/Villa who have had a disappointing start to the season. Bournemouth could fall straight though. They rely heavily on broadcast revenue, despite being in the Premier League for five years they didn't spend a penny on improving their infrastructure. I think they've still got a bottom half of the Championship standard academy and training ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Agree on both points from the Rev. Think it's a good decision from Howe (if he's made it). Six months out of the game gives him a breather and chance to look at where things wrong. Could really hurt Bournemouth. Very tough job for an outsider to come in. Reminds me of all those who followed Curbishley at Charlton. They went down twice in 3 years after he left and no just yo yo between championship and league one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression all work was halted at early stage as COVID-19 crisis hit, now following relegation the work has been shelved for the foreseeable. Not an expert though. I think Norwich have the right philosophy; build lasting infrastructure and invest in finding value in the market. Aim to be top 26 in country every season, but don’t sell the family silver to achieve. Perhaps boring to some fans, but sensible nonetheless.

I would take Pardew or Pearson at Villa over Howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
