Must have done good at Swansea to get the Brighton job. He is no flash in the pan gets his teams playing good pleasing on the eye football despite losing his best players. His ceiling is higher than Brighton that's my opinion. Unless he takes Brighton with him, what people don’t know/understand is Brighton also have a billionaire owner, with an incredible scouting team and it’s a vibrant city only 1 hour away from London, as a club they have so much potential currently.

Jareth Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Oh jeez - was angry about SG's appointment - but we got Coutinho - now we have Coutinho and SG and are failing - TBH I don't really know what to back. Is Potter the answer? We have a very good squad, good all over for once - we need a maestro. Edited August 28, 2022 by Jareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Whoever comes in needs to have their full backroom team with them. None of this assistant manager who will **** off after a season, and 2 coaches who were already here but proved absolutely nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Rotherham have started well in Championship, maybe could hire the manager as another brain on the coaching team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmirch Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I don’t think we’ll be able to attract a top manager now, it’ll be another amateur, someone from the lower leagues or a unfashionable chap like Dyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2022 6 minutes ago, HongKongVillan said: We have gone backwards from what was inherited from Deano, he has to go Yeah you’re right I think we have. We have a stronger squad now since then and we look as bad, if not worse. At the time I reluctantly felt it was time for Smith to go. And I still think on balance it was time for him to go. But knowing what I know now, with the benefit of hindsight, if my two options were simply just (a) Keep Dean Smith or (b) Hire Steven Gerrard, I’d choose (a). Fortunately there are more than just those two managers. Hire the right one, Christian. Or at least a better one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 There are literally hundreds of better qualified options. So we don't need to spend time focusing in on one or two individuals... Get rid, sound out the market see where we get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 8 minutes ago, DeepDish said: Makes no sense sacking now before we have Arsenal and City coming up. But after that, I think there is a case for the sacking, unless some miracle results and performances. Today was quiye a terrible performance. Bringing a new manager in now, right before Arsenal and City, would be insane. But how about sacking SG tonight and leaving Critchley in charge until the first international break. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Just now, Zero7 said: This is my worry, also a new manager will take time to turn it around Last season we went from losing 5 in a row to winning 3 out of 4 games so we do get new manager bounce like practically every other club. An experienced top level manager will actually be looking at this imo and thinking it's a good squad and a few logical tweaks here and there and we can quickly go back to mid table. That's looks miles off with the results and actual performances. We look as bad as Everton which is some statement given they're having to sell key players for FFP while that's not an issue for us.

The purchase of Coutinho has been the downfall, the hiring of SG has been the downfall - it has been a sequence of events that has not worked despite the promise. We need a manager who can come in and put Buendia to work, who can put Bailey to work, who can put Ings to work - who can find us a CM who can transform our midfield. Coutinho can play if he wants to but he looks washed up. But we need a mutherfooking plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not completely opposed to Potter, just something tells me it’s clicked at Brighton that’s all. I’d be wary of a right manager right club right time type situation. Like Lambert at Norwich. Then he came to us. To be fair to Lambert he did as well as could be expected with the squad/resources available. He had a thankless job really. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Not sure if we show enough ambition as a club to attract someone like Pochettino, we've added just two players to a team that finished fourteenth last season, someone like Mauricio can't go like that, he'd probably want upgrades on the likes of Ings, Watkins, McGinn, Luiz, Mings, and so on, in other words he would only come if we were serious about making a challenge for top four, and showed as such in our actions.

I think with the right manager, the right tactics, the right formation, we would look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
