Perhaps a boring technocratic style manager is what we need! are those always two different things? maybe a big name to excite - but became a big name because he gets people on onboard, doesn't throw their weight around and make rash decisions ? There's a middle ground between a tyrant and a boring technocrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Steven Gerrabruce we were predictable. And slow. Dull. Dull and slow. And predictable. I don't think we'd see much encouragement whoever we get until after the world cup. It's not going to be an immediate fix unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a middle ground between a tyrant and a boring technocrat. yes there must be big names out there who have the right skillset and man management skills, the humility to know that they are not always right and not to alienate members of the squad etc. That is important and if we were to get a big name in then it is essential they have positive attributes to complement their personality!!

Mazrim Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 If somebody mention Dyche in my presence they're getting a dig. Oh, and that 30k waiting list will disappear quicker than Russian military equipment. Awwwww. Hell. Nawwww. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Former Chelsea and Spurs boss 'very interested' in Villa job Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas is reportedly 'very interested' in replacing Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa head coach. The 45-year-old has gone on to manage Zenit Saint Petersburg, Shanghai SIPG and Marseille since that two-and-a-half-year stint with the two capital clubs. Villas-Boas is currently out of work after being suspended by Marseille following comments in February last year about the club's "sporting policy" which included him offering his resignation. It came just one day after the January transfer window closed during which Morgan Sanson was sold to Villa and replaced by the loan signing from Celtic of now- Swansea City midfielder Olivier Ntcham, which Villas-Boas took exception to. The Portuguese coach is now apparently keen on a return to the game. Read more, here " No Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Think I'd be more dismayed by AVB than I would by Dyche. Wouldn't take us into Europe, will already come with a battered reputation, and wouldn't last more than two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean I didn’t want him to be a success because him being a success means Villa were going to be a success. All true. I remember quite clearly, and it's there for all to see anyway. There was an ample handful of VTers very consistently and vocally concerned about the appointment at first, but a little less than half of that lot went silent over time; and then there were a few who stayed active on the board, pretty much on the same message -- @nick76, @Zatman, et al. After Bournemouth, the calls for dismissal exploded more generally, of course. Edited October 21, 2022 by Marka Ragnos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean I didn’t want him to be a success because him being a success means Villa were going to be a success. I always want Villa to be a success, I just thought this wasn’t the way to do it and my concerns were very much founded quickly after that initial managers bounce. Sometimes you hope for the best even when you know it’s the wrong move. I hate that it didn’t work out, not because for Gerrard but because it’s wasted 12 months of our progress and seemed like a risky stupid gamble from the start. I wanted him to succeed but it was clear from early on it never was so yes I wasn’t happy with the appointment but I wanted it to be a success. just as a matter of interest Nick....when did you feel, your initial support was unfounded, not a loaded question, just interested. I know for a spell, you was on the fence, when did you feel, it wasn't going to work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No World Cup for Italy, maybe he tried to convince him. I could see him standing on the touchline with a claret and blue scarf this winter.
