jackbauer24 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If there are absolutely no viable options out there due to our pull (eg Poch) or due to us not liking their style (eg Dyche) then we still have to do something. I know. Let's get rid of a Liverpool legend who has some success in an obscure foreign league and replace him with a Villa legend who has some success in an obscure foreign league. Welcome Olof Mellberg!! I'm kidding... but he'd be better than Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, a coach who knows how to coach will get a tune out these players. Admittidtly they are not a top ten outfit but equally they are not a bottom three one either. A decent coach will set us up as a unit. A decent coach will install a style a system the players will be able to work to. At the moment it's just drivel. We are all looking forward to it. The current squad has limitations, yes, but they should not be in the bottom three. I will say it again, we cannot gamble with the next coach/manager. IF NSWE are serious they have to do whatever they have to to get a top proven manager. No if's but's or maybe's. If they don't, it will speak volumes of the real ambitions of the club. We are now at make or break time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkVillan Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 2 hours ago, Wurzel said: Honestly after thinking about it I would take Sean Dyche. Good at operating at that relegation level, but also worked wonders at Burnley for years and deserves a club with a bit of backing to see what he can do. Certainly we wouldn't have a disappearing midfield with him. thought about him also. Not a light up the sky appointment but would bring a solidity to the team, which we desperately need and he could start Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just replace the whole team, keep Gerrard and we'll have a battling team in the bottom half of the championship next season Then we'll see proper football, men's football, the good old times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 It's still fairly early days. We need a top guy in and crack on with finishing as high as possible. Don't start talking about the Big Sam's and Dyches of the world pleeeese! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2022 If Dyche is the answer you may as well put the chairs on the tables at Villa Park, the ambition is done. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I don't see defensive full backs anyway, so they was recruited with that in mind....maybe the new guy, will change it. Change it back and see if it gets any better?.....ask the full backs to stay back and see if it improves, I think the errors will still be there. I also see a midfield, that is not capable of doing what is being asked.....I saw that with the last manager too. We stay compact, they go down the flanks, we go wide and they pour through the middle.....they are not good enough. I am intrigued to see the new guy, get the system right, with these players.....is that not a reasonable request? I have no idea, who the next manager will be.....but I will watch with interest, the system he brings.....If it works, Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be confident, in what we would bring in. Thats the spirit, a bit like Arsenal, full bloodied, fiesty, athletic, willing to run, Intense.

avfc1982am Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don't think I have ever known a time when there was so much interest in the next manager whilst the other was in situ. Such a weird time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see your point, but ironically, some of the stuff he is famous for, is what we have missing right now. However, I don't think our players could fulfill his demands anyway.

It's rare you get the perfect mix of an idiot in charge so obvious that everyone can see it, a run up to his inevitable sacking being so clear, and the whole thing being such a shambles everyone knows a new man is needed ASAP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I wanted Brendan Rodgers last time we had a vacancy and my mind hasn't changed. He's a top manager who is currently a victim of the club selling off their stars. He has form for being able to change shape and tactics given the players he has and the opposition. If supported I think he'll fire us up the table, at least back to midtable, with the incumbent squad. Poch and Potter are pipe dreams in my opinion and neither would come here, although I'd not complain if I were proven wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
