Popular Post Keyblade Posted November 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2021 To avoid going off topic in the Smith thread, I'll quote here: 14 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: I don't think it has anything to do with whether fans want Deano or not. Fonseca is up there in the elite category. I love my VW, its a great car, I don't want to change it but if someone offered me a Ferrari I have to admit I would sacrifice my lovely VW for it What would make Fonseca elite? Nuno Espirito Santo is a more accomplished manager. Likening Fonseca to a Ferrari is one of the more bizarre things I've read on here. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's purely because he's not English Remember when there were a lot of people who wanted Henry over Smith? Same reason... Exotic and mysterious. I'd only swap Deano for one Portuguese manager, and that's Mourinho, someone who many on here called "past it" last season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa has never had a manager reach 50% win % in out entire history. 2014/15 his win % was 36%. Also worth noting since the arbitrary date of 2012, he managed one of the 2 horses in 2 different 2 horse races as well as 2 teams who traditionally finish in the top 4/5. He finished 5th with both teams. In the timeless words of @Johnnyp, that's firmly "not bad, not brilliant". Hardly "elite". Edit: Do you think he's going to come into Aston Villa in the PL and transfer his win ratio with no hitch?

Clearly not good enough even though his win % is higher in the other seasons than Villa have ever managed since our founding in 1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean, if we change Dean's name to a sexy Portuguese one, will we get better? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
