smetrov Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The current clamour is for entertaining football. But lets forget any new manager must address the defensive issues which have dogged us for the last couple of season. Without much foundation (IMO) Dunne and collins are often touted as the troublemakers - I am guessing the new manager will move at least on of these on. For me theirs a massive job to do - If new manager broadly sticks with same players - I wouldn't be hopeful of a massive improvement. So for me a good start for next season would be 45 pts, see some younger players in the team on merit, and some new faces making an impact.

Ulver Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The answer totally depends on 1. The manager 2. The funds given to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 for me a successful season starts with an absolute base line of staying up whilst being more entertaining than this last horror of a season. From there, it's all bonuses. A decent cup run, beat some top half teams, make some game winning tactical changes or subs. Turn some defeats and draws into wins by out thinking and out playing opponents. Just generally clearly see a great big push of the reset button. End up in a position where next May we are clearly ready to push on rather than re group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I would like to see us play more attacking football that is entertaining to watch for a start. Then I would like to see us taking steps in the right direction to improve the players and move back up the table. I would say anywhere between a 10th-14th place finish would be acceptable next season. The season after though I will be hoping that we can get back in amongst the top 10, which is really where we should be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milenko27 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Better than 15th, playing more attractive football and actually trying to win games. Overall getting some positivity back to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Stay up. Play better. Rebuild. Stay away from the relegation zone. Should be the 4 targets whatever the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'd honestly settle for mid-table with good football. I can't say the football/results being worse than last season anyway, it's pretty much not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Competitive, attractive football, setting our stall out to win matches. All I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Mid-table. No relegation battle. We should aim for top half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Potentially a creative managerial appointment in the offing, supposedly an adventurous away kit and no Heskey suggests that it could be exciting time to be a Villa fan again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moose Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Entertaining football. A team who look like they're fighting for the cause. Bringing in new hungry players who won't be on mega-salaries and take the piss. An atmosphere in VP that doesn't involve half the people there being in a sulk. Oh, and not being relegated would help.

islingtonclaret Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 10-15th, complete revamp of football style. Top half, considering the changes about to take place, would be a nice bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Nice Football. More goals. No relegation battle. Fans not getting on everybodies (including players) backs. 13/14 Nicer football. Top Half-ish. Then keep doing that until we drag the next Messi out the arse-end of Erdington or there are new financial rules that make the Premier League truly competetive again.
