foreveryoung Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Thing we need to ask ourselves is, if we got Emery and we were still poor after 12 months. Could we then start blaming the players or would it still be the manager at fault. Ideally what I am saying is, we need a manager who won't be fully to blame this time if we fail.

Sulberto21 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 We have literally just taken a massive risk in Gerrard. And as others have mentioned there’s others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery would want Pau Torres and one or two others. Dani Parejo in a Villa shirt (I know he’s about 400 years old) would look so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you disagree with some of them they were all up and coming managers at various stages Absolutely none of them you’ve listed were wanted by top clubs. Amorim is. Massive difference .

Appointing a older, less motivated, less hungry, richer, caviar eating Pottchino on record wages would be a massive risk too We've been so scared to take these risks for many years. To be great you have to take risks. We didn't take the risk on Potter last time out and its cost us big time. He's now at Chelsea. We didn't take the risk to sign Julián Álvarez a few windows back. He's now at Man City. Fans on Rival forums are saying Ruben Amorim can do much better than Aston Villa. Maybe they are right. We dont deserve good things https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the-rise-of-ruben-amorim.467364/page-6 I get it… and I’m mostly on board… it’s just going to hit us hard IF it doesn’t work out but could be a masterstroke if it does… We’d be a laughing stock if we paid a record fee and it failed… we can’t keep losing/wasting money and expecting success/progress, owners will lose interest eventually if that happens. But maybe that’s just negative thinking… can you blame us after SG though? Wouldn’t it be lovely to have opposition fans envying us on this? So long as we’re getting results and putting in positive performances… I’m going to make time to listen to this later: If Neil can’t convince me, no one can Regardless, my general feeling on this atm is But do we have to play with 5 defenders on the pitch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays the same way he did at Burnley (and to my knowledge he hasnt shown he can play any other way) then there’s gonna be a ceiling for where we’ll finish. How many top tier sides play low block counter attack? I can think of Atletico and that’s it. I admire what he did for them, but he isn’t for us and where these owners want to go. 21 minutes ago, est1874 said: Dyche would be a McLeish-esque disaster here. I think NSWE now know better than appointing another manager the fans clearly will not warm to. Frankly, I’m embarrassed that his name is even being brought up here. I hope no one at the club reads this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amorim is wanted by top clubs? Who have enquired for him? Garde was very highly rated, called Wengers protege so I have to disagree. I’m not anti -Amorim but he’s a massive risk on such a small body of work, a high fee and we would be going for him based on mainly potential. We take plenty of risks and I’m not sure we always need to. Gerrard was only coming to us before going to Liverpool and look how that worked out. You can understand why I’m concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I know it’s only one game and they rode their look at times. I love how sporting played against Spurs. If that was Amorim v Conte in terms of style I know which one I preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
