I think they have a structure, thats unique to them...so not sure, if nicking their managers, really works......I am more convinced, by managers, who have a measure of success, where ever they go, i.e win percentages. We all want trophies, but winning games is a good barometer to judge a good manager...Taking other criteria in to account, like where ( Leagues) those wins have been made. However, I do think he morphed Brentford in to a more robust, durable outfit, from what they was.....whether he could do that elswhere, I am unsure. I think there will be more appetite for Frank after Brentford give us a schooling shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Putting aside if we're a good fit...Do you think we could get Frank? Would you leave Brentford for us right now, in his shoes? I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i would not want to leave Brentford, got it pretty good, he would come here and know within 10 mins into his 1st game that members on Villa Talk would be calling for him to go 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think it's pretty obvious is shaping up to be a "safe pair of hands appointment" whilst we clear the decks and the shite Gerrard has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) 5 minutes ago, stewiek2 said: Mancini! " Robert Mancini has long advocated for universality in football teams, and he was attempting to apply his beliefs into his Manchester City side, essentially creating a flexible 4-2-3-1/4-3-3/4-2-4/4-5-1 depending on the game's context. "Defensively, the formation was very standard for modern teams, with a well-coordinated back four and (usually) Nigel De Jong and Gareth Barry in front of them. There was cover for the full backs to press forward and create width, and Gareth Barry plays a fairly English version of a regista, while Nigel De Jong was a traditional midfield destroyer. " Just did a quick Google on his philosophy, and like what I've read. Edited October 21, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted October 21, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 The speed and the depth of the cuts and the coldness in the announcements I think tells us something about these sackings. Purslow was patience and warmth in regard to this team and I'm not sure he would have been the one to do it last night rather than this morning. There's a quiet fury behind it that to me suggests Sawiris - I've been in a room with Sawiris and a warm, fuzzy, soft man he is not, I'm sure he's a lovely fella with the family or his friends, but in public he gives professional, cold, ruthless - I think he's cleared this out in a very clear, direct and immediate way - it's been an expression of anger - a message. I hope we can carry that energy and that ruthlessness into our recruitment, because we need a manager and we need one quickly, I hope the quick and efficient, professional way that we've terminated this coaching group is carried forward into the next appointment. Every game we limp through with youth team coaches and a cobbled together staff could leave us nearer to falling away - we need a new man in by the Newcastle game at the latest as a priority. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted October 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2022 Not sure I see both situations of Villa having to manage FFP and trying to throw money at Poch (or whomever) coexisting. Both situations are quite possible, but not at the same time in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm surprised they let Critchley go so quickly with a game just around the corner, but it does suggest they have somebody lined up. I'd be disappointed if we didn't to be honest, I wouldn't want a situation like at Wolves where they've desperately gone from manager to manager being rebuffed and then settling on the current interim until the end of the year, proper clown car stuff that. I'm hoping, much like when Gerrard was appointed, it's just a case of leaving it a few days for optics rather than anything else. I've no idea who that person may be, but they'll need to get the players on board and up to speed quickly as we've a tough run ahead of us.

I get the opposite impression - I get the feeling they're looking for a "statement" appointment - something that tells others something about how they should be thinking about us. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
