VillaN.I Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Itll not matter who the manager is if the board dictate who can and can not play. Surely Davies should have played instead of Clark today as he has more experience yet due to his contract clause he didnt. We need to buy a striker but nope..... the board obviously arent going to buy again this year. Truely depressing stuff. So the board shouldn't dictate who plays, but you'd be happy for them to buy a striker when we don't have a manager ? No, i would have been happy if they had bought the striker in June or July when we had a manager who hasnt been backed by the owner and has since left due to being told the 5 year plan is myth and money is no more!!!!! Randy owns this club so is responsible for the shambles we are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Can't understand the general Jol love in, although it may be down to the shocking quality of the candidates available for the job. We really need to find a manager who can get the best out of our players and who can make the best use of our limited transfer budget. I jsut hope Randy can find the right man.

Holtender_in_Sky Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Aston Villa are a big club. They are a massive club. I resent being told my head is in the clouds, i just want the best, i wont settle for the Southgate's and Bob **** Bradleys of this world. Basing the size of a club by it's balance sheet is very sad indeed. If you want to settle for those aforementioned candidates and be happy then I do hope your ambition is not reflected amongst other fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holtender_in_Sky Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 You may as well give up then, or follow a rich club. I wont have my club being linked with such sub standard candidates. I no i wont just 'deal with it' otherwise we may as well shut up shop now and be content with 8th place every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have ambition but realistic ambition. Do you really think a player or manger will come to Villa, live in Birmingham just because we wont the European cup years ago? Its all money money money and been like that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all money money money and been like that for a while. Looking at it from a purely footballing perspective we have finished 6th in the biggest league in the world for three seasons running and four of the clubs finishing above us (apart from plop once) are among the largest in the business. Our squad is represented in numerous national teams and we have a great history. Taking all of that into account I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that some very good managers should be interested in the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holtender_in_Sky Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It appears you have accepted that so lets end it there before this arguement goes nowhere. I know why i'm still breathing i wont accept second best for my club , especially the likes of bob bradley and gareth southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Jol is the manager of Ajax. I see no reason why he would want to leave Ajax for Villa! There are 100's of reasons but the main one been that the Dutch league is utter shite and noone gives a flying what's it what goes on in it. I suspect he would want to show spurzz a thing or 2 also. Dutch football and football people are likely to introduce a nice way of playing but still been competitive IMO. Even if Ajax do go further they will be slammed dunked soon enough by a Man U or Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I thinks we should be doing we can to get Sam Allardyce from Blackburn, pay them compensation and lets's get him. I don't think he was given much chance at Newcastle and given that he can work with minimal resources (though i do feel Lerner will give the next manager full financial backing) I feel he's the man to take us forward.

DJ_Villain Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Whats wrong with Sam Allardyce? Tells it how it is, knows how to operate on a budget... looks uncannily like he was a walrus in a past life.... Hes got the lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
