Other than lack of experience / SPL what are the negatives mentioned?
-
I think managers and teams needs to constantly evolve and adapt. This didn't happen are Villa with Smith, we were the same all the time and opposing teams learned how to handle it. Very similar to Blades under Wilder, he was lauded for playing overlapping fullbacks and did very well in his 1st season up. But he wasn't able to move on from there and he was found out. I think we are similar and we also had Jack to skew our overall performances. I think the fact that we were dire at coming from behind supports this as it showed Dean wasn't able to adapt and turn things around.

Me too. I think reading the negative posts about him on here are pushing me towards him as they are mainly based on emotion rather than reality. If we remove the anti Liverpool and pro Dean Smith rhetoric there are very few negatives and many positives
-
But do u think he could do a good job as Villa manager?
-
Are u Ozzie Ardiles
-
I could be wrong but that system requires the bench as a key component
-
But if the whore is better in bed then happy days. Football is not about having a longterm loving relationship it is about gratification and if the whore provides that then go for it
-
Trying to argue that 7-2 is a better loss than 9-0 is futile. They are both horrendous results
-
Of Course Gerrard will join us if we want him. We would be a massive step for him in his managerial career
-
yep, really
-
@Zatman Sorry, this is off topic but I don't know where to post it. Do Villa fans in Dublin ever meet up for games?
-
If he is a reporter for The Athletic he must have a fair few connections in football. Also, if he is the Norwich reporter then he should have his ears open and be talking to contacts about managers. Like us all, I have no idea if the rumour has any truth to it but the source has more credibility than anyone on here
-
And JWP in Jan wouldn't do much to build bridges
-
According to whom?
-
Does every Villa fan not want that? Bigger profile means more sponsorship dollars means more money for transfers and higher wages. I would hope our CEO wants to raise our profile, if he doesn't he should be sacked
-
Form and the table suggest not
-
Boredom and the fact that no media outlets have any notion of what we are doing and have nothing to write about.
-
Yep, Purslow cut the spending on players and restricted what Rafa could do to move forward. Rafa was pissed having won the CL. Then sacking him probably was the straw that broke the camels back with regard to being on the xmas card list
-
100% agree. I posted yesterday that Gerrard could be an inspired choice of manager. The problem is that none of us know what he would be like in the PL as his experience is only in Scotland. If we appoint Gerrard I will 100% support him and I will hope that he does so well that Liverpool will come begging looking for us to release him. My personal opinion is that he is too high a risk as he is so unproven but I am just a fan that knows F all. I will trust Purslow et al if they give Gerrard the job but I would be a little underwhelmed
-
I don't know what point you are making?
-
And how many times have we looked for a new manager while we had multi Billionaire owners wanting to get to Europe and invest serious money in the clubs. Last time they recruited a manager they got it bang on.
-
Purslow was at Chelsea to improve Chelsea, he was at Liverpool to sell the club. I can understand why Liverpool would not like him but if they could understand the big picture they should be putting a Purslow statue outside Anfield
-
How many managers of top flight clubs haven't been sacked. Chelsea sacked Conte. Liverpool sacked Rogers. PSG sacked Tuchel, Spurs sacked Poch. Would u take any of those as Villa manager?
-
I agree but they would react to the market and they would add new names or put some out to long odds. But there is no movement whatsoever which suggests they know less than they usually know
-
I would be with you on that. Purslow did nothing to get SG onside while he was at Pool.
