hippo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 4 minutes ago, Chicken Field said: I disagree fully on this, the problem at the club is that we have wasted so much money, our highest earners include, N'Zogbia, Lescott, Richards and Gabby. Disgusting stuff. I'd rather get rid of our high earners than our low earners at the moment to be honest I agree. But this cull of the high earners started with young and downing. Results wise its been a disaster for the club. I don't have much time for any of the players you list - poor choices. However constantly bombing out big earners IMO will only accelerate our decline. They will always be players who don't justify there salary. But moving forward better players will command higher fees and wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But moving forward better players will command higher fees and wages I agree, selling your best players is not the right way to improve, but I dont think we sold Milner, Young, Benteke, Delph or Downing because of their high wages, we sold them because they wanted to move on and play European football. Also the amount of wages we paid in wages under O'Neill was much too high and unrealistic for a club like us. Which meant we had to clean up, we had soooo much deadwood high earners that did nothing on the pitch and the problem at the club is that we replaced our best players with more high earning deadwood. Aston Villa FC are limited in the amount we are able to spend, whoever our owner is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, someone probably just put £20 on him. The next manager markets fluctuate hugley with even small bets given the opportunity for "insider trading". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If Mccarthy is our manager that would be a disaster in my opinion. HELL NO TO HIM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 We need someone with money (and is OK with losing it) to put £50 on Savage at 50/1 because if those odds narrow you know it's bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AValon Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Personally, I like McCarthy. Old school, no shit taking kind of manager and 'that' gif will run forever. But long term? Unless there are plans to employ someone simply to get us back up then upgrade? And I do fear Grayson might go the same way as Lambert, which does'nt give us much leeway really. Moyes won't want to know and the rest are hardly worth mentioning, especially the likes of Bruce. Hughton is pretty likeable, but when they start talking cack about eejits like Yorke, then it all becomes a lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I **** love the Villa Facebook feed, today it's about BFR and all the idiots are coming out with their "Come back and save us Big Ron" comments.

ferguson1 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Personally, I really wouldn't want McCarthy but hey, if it is him I will get behind him! Would still love Dyche though!! Wonder if we will here who it is by Saturday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also mean that it wont be McCarthy or Bruce getting the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
