maqroll Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Strictly 2009/10, what do you think his fate is?
ThunderPower_14 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I think Lerner will give save his dignity by letting him see out the season at least, even if things aren't going well. I don't think we'll be relegation fodder regardless, but if we drop to below 11th or 12th I think he'll be replaced at the end of the season.
rjshare Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 we get seriously outplayed at home by a team who then go and get turned over at home by wolves... i cant see where any points are going to come from right now and i fear that our season already looks like spurs last year. i really really hope mon can turn this round, but i'm not convinced. it is all going to come down to how much rope lerner is prepared to give him i think.
sled Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Great thread and one which should provide lively and, one hopes, positive debate. I can't get out of my mind an image I have of someone remarkably like Mr O'Neill walking along a high diving board seemingly unaware of a huge vat of steaming hot custard underneath. Whitish lumpy custard made with powdered milk, just like the stuff inflicted on pupils at Camp Hill Boys School in the 60s. Therefore I think he'll be sacked. He will indeed make about 3 key signings before the end of the window, but of the wrong players, and his end will come on Jan 31st when he tries to re-sign Wayne Routledge. But obviously I'm only guessing.
tricella Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I hope he quits or get the sack early on...I am honestly fed up with his whole package of hoofing football and mediocre quality players.
Maradona10 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Tricella, he will not get sacked i assure you!
tricella Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Tricella, he will not get sacked i assure you! So..then I hope he will walk soon... I like MON as a person because he gives a great impression being a good man. He is simply not top quality manager and that is what the club lacks at the moment. A manager that can take advantage of the clubs great position in the football world. MON is not capable...
PB Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I hope he turns it around, but to be honest I cant ever remember a manager at this club turning something like this around once the momentum and mood is the way it is I dont think he'll be sacked though
harris21 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 He will get the season and even if we finish 10/11th he will still be our manager next season because both RL & MON will see it as a 'transition' season.
steve-67 Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I think we will all calm down when, and if, he brings in 2/3 players of good enough quality. I refuse to jump on the MON out rubbish as I don't think we'll get anyone better. I think we'll struggle to finish in the top half with our current squad at the minute but I'd accept a Carling Cup win and, say, 10th.

Aston Villa FC are bigger than Martin O`Neill and we could easily find a manager of better quality imo. It is lack of belief and ambition to think MON is the best we can get... If it was true...then the club is in sad state...because MON isnt all that...far from it.

The time to really get angry with him is after the window closes though.
villabromsgrove Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Mon will be Villa manager for a long time imo. He will build his team and realise his vision. UP THE VILLA!!!!
Hanky Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 He will quit if anything at all. Obviously depends on the rest of the window and I think the SHA game is very important. He will get a lot more time if he wins that.
El_Hierro Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 He'll stay, he'll turn it around, and threads like these will be long forgotten.
Denis_B Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I hope he quits or get the sack early on...I am honestly fed up with his whole package of hoofing football and mediocre quality players. Yes leaving the club in TOTAL disarray, who would come in? then have to make do with MONs players and wait until the Jan window and would then start all over again.....3 year bloody cycle once again! Why is it everyone wants everything NOW NOW NOW?
Trajan Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Where’s the “abducted by aliens and returns to Earth with the news that actor Peter Falk is the true kings of kings” option?
tricella Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 He'll stay, he'll turn it around, and threads like these will be long forgotten. I really hope not...because it has been painful to enter transfer windows with MON. It has too often been embarrassing signings and also mediocre football with hoofing as the guide of success. I want it to end... MON has made the most of what he can do. He has had two consecutive 6th places in the league and the club seems to decline at the moment. MON has failed to keep our status as a top 6 club and it will show...it has already showed by losing 0-2 at home to Wigan in the league and also a embarrassing loss in Europa Cup to Rapid Vienna. We have two wins in 18 competitive games... Enough is enough. The squad lacks so much that it is unbelievable considering the clubs status in Premier League.
steell Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 He'll turn things around this season and have us with a young exciting squad that makes up a significant part of the World Cup squad. Oh, and suddenly there'll be some posters on here going very quiet (here's hoping anyway).
