Popular Post R.Bear Posted October 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 We're not in relegation battle ffs. This season has gone as badly as it could possibly have gone and yet we're still 5 points off 10th. Any remotely competent manager will at the very least get us to about 10th and at worst, comfortably lower midtable. We've been total shit and that's why the manager has been sacked but let's not talk nonsense like needing someone to save us from relegation. We're like Newcastle last season, woeful mismanagement has put us here, not the squad. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it all before, it ends in tears 9 times out of 10. Not saying you’re wrong, but it’s possible the best experience we can buy is someone who is proven mediocre. Is that better than a wildcard? maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league table says otherwise We should be good enough for mid table, but if we get the wrong appointment then it could end up very quickly a slog for the rest of the season. Lose on Sunday with no manager and we could be in the bottom 3 Edited October 21, 2022 by david-avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Amorim would be so bloody exciting. Very sexy option. Normally I'd think too risky when we have a chance of going down... but by pure chance we have a big fat 4 week gap in the middle of the season where we're likely to have 95% of the squad around to work on the training ground. If we aren't pushing the boat out, and are waiting for the summer...I think Rodgers would comfortably keep us up and we could get him for free. Just say to Leicester we'll take him...they don't have to sack and pay him off, which they want to but can't afford. Very unsexy option. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get someone in to keep us up and spk to Poch and co in the summer when we have money to spend, a preseason and time to plan. We can't keep lurching from one rushed appointment to the next. A decision made in haste, its Killing 12 months and a £100m plus and leaving our squad full of mercenaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) We have to be extremely wary of relegation sure. 40 points is absolutely the main target now but some of you here are making out like we are cut adrift at the bottom of the table with 5 games to go.

Reivax_Villa Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Amorim would need a lot of patience here.. Are Villa fans prepared to be patient with this coach? Similar to Arteta in terms of age and perhaps coaching ability but have contrasting playing styles.. Amorim coming to Villa would be a real long term project..

avfc1982am Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Wait until our Nas gets on the blower. Nas: Hello.... is that you Mario? Poch: No, it's Mauricio. Who's this? Nas: It's me Mario, the great Nassef. I want to give you job at my club. The best club in the world. Poch: I no interested. Nas: But I pay you so much money. Poch: I still no interested. Nas: Thats great news. I send car in the morning for you. Poch: I no come. Nas: Great decision, I see you tomorrow Mario bye. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to Arteta in terms of age and perhaps coaching ability but have contrasting playing styles.. To the first point, what do you think? Of course no. Are we expecting to qualify for Europe? No but we have to see genuine improvement in performances and results and at least see a vision for what we're trying to achieve. But in modern football, patience doesnt exist. If a manager doesnt get the fans onside in a few months then good luck! As for the second point, its really annoying that Arteta has become the poster boy for good young managers. It's like when Leicester won the league. Every club started thinking that anything is possible. It isnt. Arteta was an anomaly, not a blueprint. As was Leicester and look at them now.

The Fun Factory Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Amorim interests me. I mean 3 Portuguese league cups already, that bodes well for us. We are badly due a league cup. He is inexperienced but I would say the ese portuguese league is of a far higher standard than Scotland and Sporting hadn't won the league for about 20 years before he went there.
