Pricey_1984 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 i have gone from been pleased hes been appointed to unsure after his "we belong between 7th and 12th" we've finished 6th for the last 3 seasons.

VillaRoy Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Lets wait till the press conference to see what he has to say before judging yet. His words could have been fabricated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 You know, after reading that article about Bolton I did wonder when I saw this advert the other day :- With the text :- Welcome the manager web offer - £10 tickets limited to 1,000 seats But I assumed it was becuase it was the first home game in charge...not the first game.

limvillian Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Stupid comments from the new manager, he is really starting out well with the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricey_1984 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Some people get worked up over nothing....So what if he has said that...it doesn't mean that's what we're aiming for. yeh but its a untrue statement when we've finished 6th for the last 3 seasons and above his old club liverpool last season i may add.

stato Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 If he has said this, it's ill judged because understandably some people will get upset over it. I'm more bothered about what happens on the pitch though myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 this season will be nothing more than a transition period people thinking were going to challenge for the top 6 are deluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Maybe he is just pointing out if we had another manager other then MON at the time we wouldn't have got to the those 6th place positions....MON was the best manager Villa did have in a long time.

Daholteend Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Come on lads, look on the bright side, K-Mac's Young Lions get another chance to shine and convince the Board and new manager that K-Mac has an extremely valuable role to play in the Villa organisation. Secondly, it serves us absolutely no purpose whatsoever to jump all over these newspaper quotes even before the bloke has appeared before the media circus of his first official press meeting as Aston Villa's new manager. While I am hoping we do better than 7th -12th place this season, it won't break my heart. It is an important rebuilding season in my view, and don't forget what Houllier did in his second full season in charge at LFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Some people get worked up over nothing....So what if he has said that...it doesn't mean that's what we're aiming for. Are you for real? 2 days after taking over as manager of a club(That finished higher than his old club in English football last year) he basically says his new club aren't on the same level as his old one and this is nothing?

Hanky Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 "It's a club that according to me has belonged between seventh and 12th place in the Premier League. Taking this statement here. Now we all know football did not begin when the PL started despite what Sky might have you believe but since it is relevant to this I will mention it. Isn't our record for top 6 finishes in the premier league exactly 50% of the time or something? With the last three seasons being 6th and last season in front of Liverpool. I just think the statement is poor and while this is not what he is aiming for (I hope), it is bound to upset a few fans including myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Liverpool are a massive club, we're not at the same level no....So we finished above them last year, they had a bad season, but as a club they're a lot bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Liverpool are in massive debt as well and for a club their size not being able to get the funding for a new stadium is pathetic their financial model isnt sustainable and i look forward to seeing them go belly up providing no rich bastard takes over and makes it his toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 How far behind Liverpool have we been over the last 3-4 seasons? How much silverware have Liverpool won recently? I think these are outragous comments from the Houllier, It's like the minute he left English football he hasn't watched a game since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 10, 2010 I never appreciate the brown nosing that any new appointment at a football club does, whoever, I also don't appreciate our new manager playing down the club with a downright lie. Idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Oh dear these comments are naive in the sense that its bound to annoy or upset some fans and are also ill founded. He really should be on the charm offensive and these sort of comments are only going to highlight the doubters concerns and sway the ones on the middle. Very silly thing to say.

roadoftrinity Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Let's remember that this statement first appeared in the French press, the Evening Mail have just lifted it from there and then Sky have copied it. It wouldnt be the first time the Evening Mail has just copied an incorrect source. I would be amazed if he has made that statement after take the Villa job when we have finished 6th for the past 3 seasons. It doesn't make sense.
