Tomaszk Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Real shame he wanted too much money from Brugge. I can't wait to see if he ever manages again. He brings absolutely nothing Destined to flop. Can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get people wanted to be positive about him but it was so, so clear early on that he had no idea what he was doing. If it walks like a shit manager, and quacks like a shit manager - it's probably a shit manager. Hope the next job he gets is at Blues. My money would have been on a duck doing a Gerrard impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it walks like a shit manager, and quacks like a shit manager - it's probably a shit manager. Hope the next job he gets is at Blues. Agreed, Emery is a fully formed manager, Gerrard is not. He shouldn't have been given the job, he's nowhere near ready and was entirely unsurprisingly way out of his depth. He was yet another example of a "big name" being given a job because of his name, rather than on merit. But I don't think he's "a chancer". He tried his best and it was way, way short of what is needed at Premier league level. He made a whole ton of obvious mis-steps because he didn't know what works and what doesn't. Football at the top level isn't about a managers previous playing career, but he had not much more than that to fall back on. The game has already changed a lot since he stopped playing 7 + years ago, and it's massively different from the 80s, 90s and 00s, so much so as to almost be a completely different sport in most regards at the top level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd though isn't it, because arguably, through Benitez and Houllier, he knew exactly what worked. Neither manager would ever approach the media or the squad in the same way as SG at Villa and both seemed pretty humble and even honourable in some ways. Maybe more one way than the other, but tactics and man-management seemed to feature heavily. Where was the evidence of either at Villa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shit players like olsen and dendonker what poor **** investments man It's the lack of wide players that cost us, as they did when he was in charge. We should have been out of sight for all the possession we had, just when we got close to the penalty box Bailey and Coutinho ballooned it to the corner flag every time and we had bugger all on the bench to change things up. That leaves you open to sucker punches from mistakes at the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between those 4 players Villa spent or will spend £55m on transfer fees and around £60-70m on total wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted January 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2023 **** hell, I can't support another team with this fraud in charge. Poor Lewy won;t get to play in another major tournament either. On the other hand, Villa wouldn't have to keep paying his wages. Which is why he didn't take the Bruges job and probably won't take this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish media is so far detached from English football they though Martinez would be a dream manager for Poland. They know very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
