Clearly has to kick on but perhaps the players learned a few things too. Maybe a corner has been turned - we will all find out in a few games time. I reckon unless we return to consecutive losses again, he has until the World Cup, but I think this period has done a lot of damage, we are still in a big hole. I think for me City was a free hit..You say he has learned I hope he has but I think is a 95% chance Luiz and Bailey dropped for Leicester and he goes with his regular crap system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instinct tells me he'll return to type on Saturday but I think he understands the stakes now and his comments about shelving the pretty football seem to indicate he'll keep it like this for at least a while.

Personally, I don’t have a wide knowledge of managers and how good they are (the list isn’t an indication of who I’d take) nowadays but here are some names from those that are available or out of work at the moment: Marco Rose - ex Dortmund Pochettino Sampaoli - ex Marseille Villas Boas Laurent Blanc Slaven Bilic Rafa Benitez Joachim Low Bielsa (don’t tell villalad) Klinsmann Cesare Prandelli Clarence Seedorf Andrei Shevchenko David Wagner Pako Ayestaran I don’t know much about Marco Rose but it’s a name that keeps getting mentioned… Sampaoli’s an interesting option… unsure on Villas Boas… Wasnt Blanc a well regarded manager not too long ago? Bilic… hmm… has he ever done well for a high profile club? Managed Croatia well… The rest aren’t worth bothering with… unless we wanted to take a crazy risk (no thanks). I’m sure most of them would do a better job than SG though We can poach a good manager from a club if needed or deemed appropriate… that would require a whole other list though Can’t be arsed with that! Poch is too good of an opportunity not to make an attempt at though… the standout candidate for me, although many seem to adore Potter… I wouldn’t be against appointing Rodgers if he became available (if Poch was out of reach). Big upgrade on SG. He has a track record and trophies… maybe just needs a change of scenery… I wouldn’t mind an FA cup… But.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Pirlo?! Get him on the pitch, F giving him the management position! One of my favourite ever players! But seriously… no, just no… doesn’t have the experience or record… crazy appointment by Juve although many fans argue he is and did a lot better than Allegri… but no, crazy risk… But… I’m such a fan of the guy… na, no, nope!

Vive_La_Villa Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 The more I think about it the more we should just make Potter an offer he can’t refuse. We need a manager that can really get the best out of players. Make them all overachieve. For all of MON’s faults this is something he was great at.

Sulberto21 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 10 hours ago, CarryOnVilla said: Other than Poch and Potter, what other good options are out there? Then there’s Marcelo Gallardo - Sampaoli, Gallardo and Pochettino are all Bielsa disciples who have enhanced his way. Bielsa would sooner play the same 11 throughout the season. The others are prepared to utilise the squad. Sampaoli is probably most like Bielsa in terms of tactics and formation. Ive heard Marco Rose is possibly available too so that’s another good option. But AVFC have to have the balls to act now. Otherwise there comes a point when it’s too late for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 11 hours ago, Zatman said: I dont see it he was a great player better than our manager but at Juventus he was shocking. They had won 8 or 9 leagues in a row and he got them 4th because Napoli collapsed in the run in I think he hired his coaching course instructor as assistant manager or coach They had won a lot of leagues in a row and then the board dismantled the entire side and gave him no budget. He was essentially brought in as the guy to start a rebuild whilst still having Ronaldo ruining the confidence of the young players he was bringing through. In his one season he got a better xg for conceding goals and better xg for scoring goals than when they most recently won the title, and the man that came before him who also finished 4th. They sacked him and brought back Allegri, gave him a warchest in the summer and January and the guy that won consistent titles with them and had a better squad than Pirlo finished.... 4th. With 8 points less than Pirlo managed. It sounds like you're writing off a great young coach because he didn't achieve what his predecessors did. The difference was that xg didn't matter to Allegri when he had one of the best goalkeepers in the world stopping teams from scoring and one of the best strikers of all time banging them in at the other end. 11 hours ago, messi11 said: Going from Gerrard to Pirlo sounds like hell As I said in the first sentence, I don't think it would be a sensible appointment now 10 hours ago, nepal_villan said: We either need a homerun hire or someone to steady the ship - Pirlo is neither.
