In fairness, whilst I like the rest of your post, it has only been Lambert and Sherwood that have fit this bill. Unless we count McLeish as up and coming.
Houllier had a longer term strategy for sure, but that was at a different time and a different club.
I agree. I'm not saying we've always done that. I'm saying that our position now dictates, imo, that we should be looking for a safe pair of hands rather than an unproven manager who MIGHT turn out to be the next Mourinho and win us the league, but will more than likely be the next ole Gunnar Solksjaer and do the square root of **** all.McLeish wasn't up and coming. but he was (and is) a terrible manager. Not hiring an up and coming manager doesn't mean we should hire just anyone who has experience. I'd still like it to be somebody good [emoji3]
We agree completely then.
Give me Big Sam, 3 years of whinging about the style of play, survival and then a 12th and 10th placed finish and then we can hound him out. It's the circle of life, as miserable a life as it may sound to some it's preferable to death. At which point, "we go again".
Much rather see Villa relegated.
I assume you have no experience of relegation. Some of us have. You really do not want that experience.
OK, big boy -- explain the horrors. Can't wait to hear this!
I think maybe instead of being somewhat flippant, you could show Antrim a measure of respect for his experience and opinion on the matter.
