He looks like Paul Lambert, who has about 10 years on him. Think it's more than just hair color, football seems to have that effect on coaches and he's in luck, Villa even moreso!

MrBlack Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Imagine being him though. Probably being paid significantly more than he was at Blackpool. Less direct responsibility. Less pressure, less press spotlight. Insurance that if Gerrard gets the boot he probably becomes the manager. He's landed on his feet. But I'm still in shock that we've made this happen so quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit of an odd situation given that he's done a good job with Blackpool and is well thought of by the fans. I’ll take it from here. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will have been bubbling in the background for a couple of weeks at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be good succession planning. Or Villa could at some point hire an experienced manager with merits from the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if it’s a regular occurrence. Steve Cotterill did it with Sunderland under Wilkinson. No doubt had his high on the top job when he would be sacked. I think it's really strange to take a step back in your career at 43 when he's been a coach for so long and just recently took a No. 1 job and had great success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Glad it has been sorted so quickly! Don’t know anything him about apart from what has been said in this thread but sounds good and gives them chance to prepare for preseason, which is key.
