What has been officially confirmed?
-
I must have a closer look at him. For some reason I have him filed away in my brain with Lampard, Gerrard and JT as managers I do not want
-
Makes sense to sack him based on performances and not one results but the timing would be awful. Maybe they were expecting a loss and the win has messed up their plan. It will be interesting to see who they get in. I suspect a complete unknown
-
So Delia had the patience to hang in there until he finally won a game before sacking him? Surely that can't be true
-
I don't know the data but my impression is that every club he was with has gone downhill while he was there
-
Awful, awful style of football. If u didn't like the way Bruce used to park the bus and try to snatch a late goal then you wouldn't like Trapp. Also, he would hardly be a long term strategy
-
The new Boro boss
-
God I hope not, he would be a major step down from Smith imo
-
There is lots of debate about potential managers and there is going to always be comparisons. It is highly unlikely we will get a manager that has won the PL maybe we attract a manager that won a league outside of England. I really don't see the merit of comparing a different manager's improvement to Dean's. There are very few clubs that have had a worldie player and spent 350m in the last 3 years and were hanging about in a lower division. The reason I believe that people like Potter is because of the football his teams play. They are organised, play to a system, function like a team and look like a team that will improve significantly with the addition of some quality players. They are things completely absent from Villa this year
-
That would be 7 straight losses. I would hope they would be doing more than thinking
-
And the manager should be appointed based on the philosophy of the club. If the manager has the right philosophy then it stands to reason that his backroom staff will also follow that philosophy. It would be hugely advantageous to get a manager in that already has trusted coaches
-
Ideally we would get a manager that will bring with him his entire coaching team. It would be great to get 4 or 5 people in that are used to working with each other and understand the style of football that the manager is trying to implement.
-
If Smith goes then hopefully we will get a manager that is big enough to tell Purslow that if he joins Villa then he picks the coaching team
-
What is the difference between those?
-
The job spec is not for a decent bloke who is a Villa fan, if it was there are many on her who are qualified. The job spec is for a manager that will improve us
-
So they have only been in it for half the time and they have only won about a half a dozen games between then and yet we have played more games and have a worse record. It is very really damning
-
Fortunately, there are teams worse than us in the league this year. I would say Norwich are weaker an possibly Newcastle. Toon will improve inJan and new manager bounce. Even so, 3 go down. What 3 are worse than us?
-
When u think about /shef Utd and /Norwich that is very damning
-
Would u replace a manager after about a year of shit performances?
-
We. can't be afraid of bringing in a new manager, We may appoint a fcuken disaster of a manager. Shit happens. But we need to change things and have the balls to replace Dean
-
Dean Smith has been brilliant for Aston Villa, I love the guy and he has given me some wonderful memories but unfortunately it is time to go. We need a new manager
-
I get where u are coming from but the club hasn't gone to shit.. Our performances have and a new manager will sort that
-
ah, that explains why it gets slow
-
If they do we will likely lose. Villa just doesn't do coming from behind
-
You got a point there
