Jareth Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 It's a very attractive job for a range of managers - owners who will back their manager, premier league club, historic club, good quality squad to begin with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre at Dortmund had faith in numerous teenagers like Pulisic, Sancho, Reyna, Haaland, and even started Moukoko as soon as he turned 16. Should be a no brainer if we care about making the most of the talent we are developing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say its a considerably more appealing job then working for that scum regime in the North East. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Tbh, it's a lot easier to trust the youth when those youth players are Sancho and Haaland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I expect we will get one of the 2 or 3 we are actually after. I don't think we will be in a situation where all of our preferred managers have said no and we then need a plan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I don't care about bringing through youth I care about winning. If the kids are good enough great if they're not send them out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing youth through is much more financially sustainable though, it would also help us to spend our transfer budget on fewer players and thus be able to buy better quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Interesting how he quickly dismissed talk of newcastle a couple of weeks ago but refused to comment on villa - talk of a £2m buyout clause which means rangers can’t stop him going if he wants the job - as his mate carragher says he probably won’t get a better club job in the premier league than villa before Liverpool in maybe 3 years .

I get the sentiment, we need to properly establish ourselves in the top 8 before we can start risking the integration of youth, too much pressure, get ahead and then blood them slowly. As you say though, if they are good enough they start, Jude Bellingham for instance would be a starter for us now 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I suspect that we are going to be in an information void for a few days. Media have no idea who we are after and are just linking us with the same names that Newcastle and Spurs were linked with. Purslow will be working to try and agree a deal with a manager and we will only get a sniff of it when it is much closer to happening. There will be a lot of frustration on VT in the coming days and complaining about NSWE and CP for not having a plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
