Its decent haul but he is not a serial winner. Nearly half of them were Carabao Cups. And via penalty shoot outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect that he buys into the ambition of the club I'm not so sure they would have won the league this season, hence, his swift departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It’s an exciting appointment for me. 1 proper job and he’s done extremely well. There are no certainties in this game but I’m excited and this next chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same can’t be said of most of our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Lets face it he's only got the job because his best buddy is CEO. When he turns out to be a colossal failure and gets laughed out of the club at the cost of us being relegated he can take Purslow with him. Were any other candidates even interviewed or shortlisted? Such short sightedness from the club this will only end in disaster. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 How mad is football by the way. I'd have laughed my head off if you'd told me in January when we were in 6th or whatever it was with Smith and Grealish going strong that by the end of the year they'd be gone and Steven Gerrard would be Villa manager with a possible front three of Ings, Bailey and Buendia at his disposal, yet here we are.

Stoobs Posted November 11, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2021 And just wait until SG brings Glen Kamara to the club. The Finnish Kante. No more passing through the Villa midfield like a hot knife through butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All be it our fitness levels are a joke, so he def needs to sort that first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. If youd told me a year ago after beating Liverpool 7 - 2 that Smith would be sacked, Grealish gone and Gerrard in charge!

Anything else would need a combination of a huge amount of money and luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
