VillaParkAvenue Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 17 minutes ago, useless said: I wouldn't particularly want Potter and would want Frank even less, I think we have to move away from bringing in mangers that have done well or in Potter's case suposedly done well at lesser clubs, as that's what we've been doing since O'Neill left, and it hasn't worked. If we were to go down that route I'd rather Cooper than Potter or Frank. But I think we need to stop messing about and just go for a proven as possible manager, wether that be Rodgesr, Pochettino or someone else of a similar standing. What do you mean with Potter ”supposedly” done well at a lesser club? It’s there to see. The club will have to choose between candidates who are less than perfect. They will either come up from smaller clubs where they’ve done very well (Potter) or down from bigger clubs where they’ve done less well (Poch). Or sideways from clubs where they have been okay (Rodgers). Or from abroad (where they’ve most likely performed voodoo rituals and danced around to the sound of didgeridoos) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) the only thing I want ‘proven’ is consistently setting a team up tactically to have the best chance of winning. Potter and Frank do that. Rogers and Poch do too, they just did it at clubs with better players Leicester decline concerns me, I know they have financial issues but their squad hasn’t changed that much Edited August 28, 2022 by a m ole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe Don barker, Felix Hahn, David Spiers, Jimmy Craig, Patrick Doyle or if we really want to go Big Luis Amore Rodriguez We could also get Jeff Stein to take over recruitment ...

Do we just pay them all off too? Even Critchley who has only just landed? We haven't looked on it since Bournemouth away on the opening game of the season. That's mostly on Gerrard, but Critchley et al bear some responsibility as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trillvillan Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Splash the cash on Potter - I'm sure we still would give him what ever to over haul the squad (squad is already good imo) and make whatever necessary signings for him. But if somehow that required our transfer budget to be decreased massively, just do it. He could turn this squad around as is, and potentially have us competing for Europe in a few years. Imagine with the funds too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers, Poch, Potter, no more YTS managers please! Franks isn't that different to Potter in terms of experience, managed Brondby for three years before he turned up at Brentford.

True. I just hate the way his teams play. I dont think he can get anything out of our quality players. I wouldnt enjoy Dyche ball 24/7 is all. He would do better than Gerrard results wise tho you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Reacho Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 It could be a convenient arrangement for Rodgers to wrap things up at Leicester and move to us - it's clear that his relationship is pretty strained there now. It'll be even more so when Fofana leaves. I reckon Leicester, Rodgers, and Villa could come to a mutual agreement pretty easily and there wouldn't need too much money in pay-offs. Rodgers would be looking at our squad right now and think he could do something with it. He signed both Coutinho and Ings for Liverpool. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how well he'd gel with the foreign players either as he didn't sign that many for Burnley. Would feel a bit O'Neillesque without him actually getting us in top 6 imo.

Glad it worked!! But ff Purslow unveils Lambert I will riot. Seems to be a big thing in Italy. Instead of paying off managers they just keep them on the payroll and bring them back as required when their replacements don't work out. Happens quite often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day results matter fullstop what's the point having a manager play attractive style still not getting results let's not forget the budget and players Dyche had to work it.
