Peter Griffin Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I can't see how Leicester could attract Poch. He will want a club on an upward trajectory and he will also expect a large transfer kitty imo. Leicester can offer neither of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that it was cancelled as we were finishing for the WC in mid Nov but I suppose there maybe more waste of time friendlies There is a short break in late September.

I think they'll give him the season unless we truly get into the shit end of the table. Problem is by then it will be too late... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO neither us or Leicester are good enough to attract Poch, he will wait for United or Chelsea jobs to become available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) As he will be given time, it’ll ensure that SG’s reputation is in tatters after we eventually fire him. I just worry about our position. I think we all know that managing Villa’s senior men’s team will be the peak of his career. He won’t go into punditry. He’ll be coaching the Liverpool U21 team by the end of next year (invited back by one of his pals). He’ll do an interview in their official YT channel that’ll make us mad saying he’s home. Then he’ll bounce around the FA system before ending up involved in the England U18 setup. Nevertheless, we need some direction: need to establish the sort of club we want to be rather than moving from one type of manager (DS) to another wholly different in style and personality (SG). Otherwise, we will just keep devaluing our group of players with each new manager. Edited August 22, 2022 by KevinRichardsonsMoustache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx, that is probably only 4 or 5 games away, that may be a few too little to let SG prove himself, maybe he has till WC break. The WC break would be a perfect time to bring in a new manager as it would give him a good bit of time with. most of the squad and he could have a mini pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said elsewhere I actually think us and Leicester are perfect for poch because he's actually overrated... We are his level, he's not a top table manager he's a CL challenge manager But the media and himself won't see it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have come up from the Champoionship, established ourselves in the PL and we are investing in every single aspect of the club. What else could we possibly do to show we are on an upward trajectory? Bear in mind, the only reason we would be talking to Poch is if we are sacking our current manager. That means we would not be performing onb the field and would also show the ambition of the club as it would show believe we should be doing better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
