TJVilla Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 We need to go out and get someone big. I don't know how we can convince someone big to come in at the moment, but thats what we need. We need someone who is going to get the fans and the club buzzing. MON did that when he first came. The feeling I had when we announced GH was 'meh, it'll probably be fine but it wont be a quick fix solution'. I know some of these names (infact probably all even if we do finish in the top half of the table) are probably unattainable, but with managers like van Gaal, Rjykaard, Boas at Porto, Klinsmann, even Ancellotti (when he gets sacked at the end of the season) out of work (with the exception of Boas but he could be a brilliant manager) would be MASSIVE for this club. I don't feel that Moyes (good manager, and probably the best we can realistically hope to attract), Hughes (please god no), or Coyle (very good manager but does he have enough connections to attract top players?) will bring much more of excitement to the club than there already is. We should've taken Allardyce in February until the end of the season then shook his hand and let him go on his way. This has now become Randys biggest decision to make at Villa since replacing MON, and he CAN'T get this one wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all but safe now and that was the whole point of bringing in Allardyce was it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 McAliister has been a massive failure everywhere he has been as a Manager/Coach,what makes folk think he will change at VP? If the rumours are true that the players do not like him then he has no chance of getting anything out of them. Wigan will be a tough game and a defeat combined with bad results elsewhere will make for a panic stations last 2 games which we are likely to lose,we must win next week just in case.

We're all but safe now and that was the whole point of bringing in Allardyce was it not? I only say that because at the time we genuinely didn't look like a team capable of staying in the division. I still think he would've got us guaranteed top half football (not much of an achievement given where we have been for the past couple years), but it would've been dire to watch. We might've been a little better defensively aswell. Its all ifs-and-buts really, but the fact we're safe means it probably doesn't make much difference overall. New ideas (and a new defence) for a new season though I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully we have our sights aimed higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Get rid of Houllier and his crappy backroom staff. Take shit like Collins and Dunne with them aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'll be extremely disappointed if Allardyce is ever in charge and I'll want him gone from day one. Never want to see that type of football near Villa Park. Depressing just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueless tool. This season has been embarrassing. God knows why I think next season will be any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
