KentVillan Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 1 minute ago, Peter Griffin said: Fonseca's points return is far more impressive than Lennon's. Lennon went from getting 70% at Celtic to 23% at Bolton. Fonseca went from 74% at SD to 54% at Roma. Do you think that is comparable or did you post hat comment without considering their win percentages and what teams they were at? Do you think Bolton and Roma are comparable teams? You’re wanking into your socks about a manager who has won almost nothing outside Ukraine, and is available mainly for that reason. He’s clearly a decent coach, but the only thing that really translates is how coaches have performed in England/Spain/Germany/Italy, and maybe, at a push, France. Everything else is just stats padding. We all know that. So we have a brief spell at Roma to go on, where he was decent enough, but won nothing. I’d take him at Villa, but your contributions to this thread are frankly bizarre. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pleased you agree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the idea of defenders who can defend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I am 100% bigoted against British/Irish managers. You dont see top European teams hiring British managers for a reason. British managers are not very good. Edited November 2, 2021 by ciggiesnbeer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I've been a Villa fan since 1994. The best managers we've had in this time are all English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Houllier and Remi Garde were not from the UK during that period - so it's not saying much that our best were all English.

sne Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 You'll have to keep an eye out for anyone dressed like this skulking around Villa Park, then again it's Halloween so... Fwiw I think Fonseca is the type of manager our data focused football people like Lange would be interested in. He ticks a lot of boxes and if we were to get rid of Smith I be very happy with Fonseca. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
