He'd get more funds than he did at Spurs. This could be just the sort of rebound for his career he needs. Whether we're willing to pony up the wages for him is a different story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Purslow pulled out of the 25m+ Sarr deal to allocate to Poch's wages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of quality players, youth coming through, very supportive owners and a playing squad that just about everyone agrees is under performing. Poch or any manager is not going to get a job at a team where the players are not underperforming. Those are valid and fair points - I think the risk/reward ratio tilt towards him picking a safer European club. Happy to eat my hat on this one if it happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why people think this Its rare a PL manager leaves his job for another PL job during the season*? Wasn't the last manager to do that Pardew?

My comment is really on the club's ability to do something as opposed to whether the manager would come to us or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get him in here, if he can get Gerrard's Rangers team to the EL final and into the CL, think what he could do with Gerrard's Villa team.

In Scotland Gerrard had a superior team compared to the opponent in the Scottish league, that meant that his tactical limitation didn’t matter that much. In Europe he struggled because he no longer had the squad superiority, and his bad tactics were exposed. Those were the warning signs that was there from the start, and now we pay the price for hiring somebody not good enough. Giving Gerrard more time would only mean we would fall further, making it harder to get back to where we where when Gerrard started. He didn’t learn anything from his tactical blunders in Europe when at Rangers, and he haven’t shown any improvement here either after 9 months. There is nothing that suggest we can turn this around without changing manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project would be getting a team like Villa into the champions league, no? we’re super down on ourselves right now, but it seems like exactly the kind of project a confident manager would go for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's mainly due to Purslow loving the guy. But if we were attractive to a Potter or Poch would we not have got that standard of manager when Dean left?

I do wonder how much FFP is hampering the club. Wage bill increasing at a much faster pace than revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
