TheMelvillan Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 must be nice to be able to turn down a £10m+ per year job in a profession you love just cos you want a bit of a break and to see what else may pop up. football be cray cray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claretman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 We have been shit for years. We haven’t threatened the top 6 for an eternity. If Poch or Emery were to come here I would be utterly amazed (but delighted). They’ll have one look at the table and think they don’t fancy a relegation battle for a start. We are in a similar position to Newcastle last season and they could only attract Howe who I don’t suppose was the big name they wanted. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they wanted to dispense Howe by now - but that would alienate the fanbase - keep going Howe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only manager to hit a 50% winning percentage in the last decade at Villa was Steve Bruce, which tells you all you need to know about the quality of our managers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Not surprised by the Tuchel news and similarly I would be stunned if the Poch idea worked out. I appreciate the ambition but I don't see a world where it happens, as much as Villa can throw money at them that really isn't unique, and many other clubs that are or will be interested in such names can offer a lot more than just that. I'm so jaded with Villa from this year of Gerrard's tenure that I don't really know who I'd like or what's within the scope of realistic though. Has felt like such an enormous set-back, but at least they can't get any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Any pro looking at our last 10 games can see we have operated without coaching. We are ripe for a coach. Frank would love it here, and he would succeed - as much as I want Poch or Emery. The guy has mixed it with **** all budget and extracts the best of what he is given - exactly what our talented squad needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those are the criteria, there should be loads of candidates. Fans will want a name though, which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a very tight league thus far. Very easy to turnaround and they’d be guaranteed a big transfer budget too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Wurzel said: Just watched Brendon Rogers post match interview supporting Steven Gerrard and he can f*ck the right off, Christ on a stick these managers are paid enormous sums of money to get grown men to play a ball game a couple of times a week and win a few games, and when they don't the get the sack and get enormous sums of money to get rid of them. So save me the bloody sob story, Gerrards job was to win games, he didn't because he is shit, and he was sacked. I don't want an apologist for that as our manager. Makes sense to me, if I was in the relegation zone with another club I'd be looking for Villa to give Gerrard as much time as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, although he has been shite lately - Coutinho was not predicted. We can pay the bucks but I don't think money is going to be the problem.

Brentford does have a very specific philosophy I feel, one that might suit Frank and obviously appeals to him. Maybe it's just PR bollox and a way to try and stand out, but still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
