villa4europe Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 52 minutes ago, HeyAnty said: What has Lampard done in management to get Villa job? Absolutely nothing. Only reason why he got Chelsea was because who he was. clicked with the youngsters and brought a load of them through which could be appealing given what we're trying to do and needs to be taken in to consideration with any manager we appoint, if fonseca comes in with pressure to get 50% wins then you can make an argument for him ignoring the youngsters or not taking that risk, dragging it all the way back to bruce's win percentage, great, he did it with a team that was over 30 and unsustainable, increasing the win percentage by say 5% but playing a midfield of whelan and jedinak **** us rather than helped us lampard should take the england U21 managers job if the FA cant find another suitable yes man, or take years to sack the muppet they've already got which is always the case with the U21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even getting them to the last 16 of last season's Europa League with an average squad? *I'm not saying I want Gerrard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, ambition and potential doesn't translate into us being able to snag a manager of ten Hag's status yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 48 minutes ago, avfc1982am said: You was doing alright until you mentioned Lampard. The mention of Lampard is in relation to Fonseca. I would prefer Lampard over Fonseca, he brings more to the table. I would not want Lampard unless we could convince him and Terry to co manage, but that could be brilliant or a shitshow! Potter is the standout. Good manager, his teams play good football, and he's a Villa man. For now though Smith deserves a couple more games at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle is a basket case club. We are no even comparable. I'm not saying he would come here anyway but imo he is the type of manager we should be trying to get if/when Smith goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted November 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Philosopher said: No average foreign managers please! Graham Potter my number one if Smith is to be replaced. Otherwise prefer Lampard. At least he would get the midfield functioning and bring through the youth. We must get a manager brave enough to play youngsters. Lampard?!? You'd sack DS for Lampard??? Holy hell. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Still think Hassenhuttl could do well at Villa. Yes he has had some ups and downs, but he plays a high pressing game and I think, with more resources available, could make excellent use of what is available to him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 38 minutes ago, Phil Silvers said: It's Dean or better for me, none of this sideways bollox. Winning managers not ex winning players. The problem is, if you are a manager that wins you stay in your club. You are only available if one of the following happens: 1) You messed up and got sacked - which makes everyone question how good you are 2) You come from a lesser team based on your good performances (like Smith did) and there is no guarantee to you will succeed at a higher level. So, as far as I cant tell, there are no available 'better' options. Such a thing does not exist in the managerial world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will ever be toppled from his throne as Villa’s least successful manager ever! Spot on and RDM was here during an era when there was serious competition for a place at the head table. It can’t be ignored either that he did it with a more than decent transfer budget for the Championship. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Fair play to him. I’d like to think that he rejected them on moral grounds. Something the PL and FA failed to do. He’ll probably sign for them tomorrow now on £1m a week!
