sir_gary_cahill Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 agree with you carew_villa, they're a nothing club anymore, certainly no better or more attractive to other clubs' players than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Pissing me off the amount of Liverpool fans having a go at Villa fans for not wanting Benitez. Acting as if Villa are a nothing club and we should be grateful for having the chance to even talk to him. **** off. Hate Liverpool fans and their over-inflated idea of 'their' club, when most of them live nowhere near Liverpool or have no connections to the club. They decided to support Liverpool because ITV used to make out they had the best fans in the world on Champions League games and they had orgasms over the Kop when in fact it is just a normal football stand. Nothing special at all, although they think they are. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 agree with you carew_villa, they're a nothing club anymore, certainly no better or more attractive to other clubs' players than usYou are messing right??. Liverpool are still a massive club, and we could only ever wish to have the same size fanbase, and be able to attract the players they can and will. They are dept free now and there club can still pull in over 100mmin profits. Don't forget they got right of the yanks they had. I'll always agree there fans are a bunch of words removed, and I'd love the club to go under, but there is a reason why it never went under.

Nigel Posted May 10, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2011 Slightly off topic but if Chelski want the best out of Torres then they'll hire Benitez ... in truth this is the job he's probably holding out for. Benitez ran Torres into the ground at plop. I'd agree Benitez is awaiting a grandeur appointment. Well considering how we at little Villa dont want him, good luck to that!

F.A. Cup, Champions League, Sper Cup, Charity Shield, League Cups etc all won in the last few years alone. Liverpool appointed a man to kick start them again. Villa appointed the wrong man. Simple as that. I wouldn't mind Liverpool's last ten years on the Villa role call in terms of honours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to us and Liverpool players would pick them way before us because they are better known and a bigger club that can spend more.

NowDoINotLikeThat Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 In the last 10 years alone Liverpool have won the champions league , UEFA cup , FA cup , league cup , pretty much regularly qualfied for champs league in past 10 years etc. As we've won ...a league cup... 15 years ago. As much as i love Villa its bit of a weak argument that Liverpool have been nothing since the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I understand what you mean but I dont want him. I dont think you will be on your own in not wanting him here (Me too for another), so if he is not wanted at a club with relatively small aims I cant see him being too popular a choice for those teams bigger than ourselves. If I were a Chelsea fan and we got Benitez I think id be slightly miffed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millbrook85 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 i'll agree to disagree fran But you can't disagree on matters of fact. You said they haven't won anything in the last 30-40 years, but the fact is that they have won the Champions League, UEFA Cup, 2 FA Cups, and 2 League Cups in the past ten years alone. I'm proud to be a Villa fan rather than a Liverpool fan, but you simply can't argue that they haven't won more than we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millbrook85 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 And to bring it back on topic, I don't think Benitez would be my first choice, but I also think he would be a good appointment. If we're looking for managers who have won honors, then he fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Liverpool fans but I pretty much think most football fans, no matter who they support, are just as bad as each other. To think Liverpool are a nothing club is absolutely ridiculous. They won the Champion's League only a few years ago and we still go on about our European glories over 20 years ago!

TRS-T Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 British jobs for British people! :x Before anyone calls me racist, I just feel that we were better suited to having a British manager with a lot of good, young English talent (didn't we have 7 players called into an England squad once?)

Nationality makes no difference when it comes to the Villa manager. If he can speak good English and knows the league then what's the problem?
