sharkyvilla Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I really don't know who we could get right now and I still think Dean has some credit in the bank with the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the problem with Spurs was the salary and the amount of tax he would have to pay, he wanted more money. The rumours for Toon suggest one of the highest paid managers in the PL. That would be circa 20m a year. Smith is on a reported 1.5m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Don’t underestimate Purslow’s fanboy attitude towards Steven Gerrard. He wouldn’t be my first choice, mainly because he’d be one step closer to his dream job at Anfield and would only see us as a stepping stone towards that goal. I can see it happening though. NSWE are clearly very shrewd businessmen and I do have faith in them getting it right. Potter for me.

bobzy Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Bet Potter can’t wait to come here and have the fans on his back after any sort of losing run. Wooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa fan, we have more to spend and a better squad. He wont go from Brighton to a top club, we will be a stepping stone if he does turn out to be good but it's an upgrade for him and a chance to prove himself. Only issue is I'm not sure he leaves during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If it would be Gerrard I would be so done. Even more if it were JT or Lampard. We should try to improve if we replace him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the manner of the performances. Whats the plan? Hoofing it too much now, Bailey taking a long throw. Ashley Young in CM. I've backed Smith the entire time but he's bringing this on himself.

Jareth Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There are no realistic options available right now that I think are better than sticking with Smith until the end of the season. Unless anyone knows of one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's modern football though isn't it? I mean you live in Nottingham don't you so see all the endless changes Forest make (probably not the best example tbf!) What did you make of Leicester when they were 13th and sacked Puel and got in Rodgers? Let's be clear....this isn't DS first poor run here. We had one in the promotion season but he was only in the job for a few months and last season we had that really poor run from Feb but again mitigation given we were overachieving in league and you know who got injured for 3 months. 19/20 he could've easily been sacked at xmas and it seemed certain in March before once in lifetime covid event hit so he's had a kinder run than other managers at similar sized clubs. One more name to throw into the mix....Ernesto Valverde. Was at Barca for 3-4 years so ticks the profile box and also managed Espanyol, Bilbao and Olympiakos in last decade and got them into europe and winning stuff so in terms of interesting experienced managers on the market who are realistic I'd say he's a decent shout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He watched us a bit, but when he's spoken about it, he liked watching Villa, went to Blues so likes them too. He might have a bit of a soft spot for us, but he's certainly not a Villa man. Not that I think ithat matters for anything other than the discussion of how easily we could get him. Not happening, IMO, I think he's too loyal a man to turn his back on Brighton with the season they're having. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
