I just think the way all of a sudden Shakespear is being blamed by some is a little ridiculous and frankly comes across a little like just another excuse in favour of Smith. Yeah but who is doing it? Aren't you getting worked up about something that isn't really happening beyond a handful of speculative posts that didn't go anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW having somebody study Football Manager isn't a bad thing was probably ahead of his time in terms of thinking out of the box ideas Whilst it probably isn't at the level you could stick it on your CV and get a job, I imagine on that side of the football world you'd get a lot of funny looks if you didn't play FM.

But if the Leicester story was all true, should never had had him here in the first place. Was the demise of Ranieri, now the demise of Smith, well done Shaky, well done. Was he the demise of Ranieri? They were 1 point above the drop-zone, thats why Ranieri got sacke. He took over and they finished about mid table and got to the champions league semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) He will be sad to leave his boyhood club, but philosophical and determinded to get back in the game and continue his career as he knows that his assocation with Aston Villa isn't what defines him but just a small part of his whole.

The Fun Factory Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Further change and instability with Shakespeare also leaving. Played a big part in last season's success. It seemed that we had finally built a solid base in terms of coaching within 12 months or so have ripped it up and starting again.

Guess that's football. He enjoyed this frankly weird trend for claiming that the assistant coach is the real brains behind every top manager. Everyone saying he was the real masterind of the Leicester PL title. People got over excited by it. Turns out he just looked like another jobbing coach. When Dean looked short of ideas he didn't ride in on a white horse, whisper in Dean's ear and turn us into Champions league challengers. Not his fault, just got a load of OTT expectations when he joined. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Be nice to see Gerrard on the sidelines directing the squad with a bit pf pashun, rather than watching Shakespeare and Smith discussing last nights episode of Squid Game.
