VillanousOne Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I keep seeing Potter called 'a boyhood Villa fan' is this true. If Poch comes in he might keep and play Sanson ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear all the time how ambitious they are. Now is the time to show it. We will never break into the top 6 until they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If Graham Potter is to become the next Villa Manager, I fear we are going down a similar road to what we did with Dean......boyhood villa fan yes, but the real worry is, The backroom setup at Brighton, is like Brentford.....and He can't take that with him, like Dean couldn't. Lets just have a look at his record at Brighton P W D L Win Ratio PPG 134 41 46 47 30.6% 1.26 Now thats on the back of a good recruitment set up.....which ours is debatable. That to me, looks like "hard to beat"....which is something, right now, but not much more than that. I still fear, that if Gerrard goes and the case is strengthening by the day......it still won't fix our woes, by that alone. I think there is a deep rooted issue, here....but not sure what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potter is too much of another gamble. Has potential, an emerging manager lots of plaudits and you could argue he's the latest flavour of the month, but he's another gamble. Purslow and NSWE need to show real ambition and go all out for a proven manager. 2 minutes ago, TRO said: Its catch 22.....they will stop spending, if the signings are not giving value for money......and our record over the last 3/4 years is sketchy at best. I mean what is our Director of football doing, while 2 managers were struggling?.....in contrast Edu seems to support Arteta? Our recruitment policy has been crap. We've been buying people on stats. It's also damning that we still haven't addressed the midfield when even Doris the tea lady knows it needs sorting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Potter would have been ideal when we sacked Smith. I'm not sure he's the best option now after the effect Gerrard has had on the squad, and I highly doubt he'd come here mid-season with Brighton looking a much better team than us this year due to his hard work starting to pay dividends 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some decent players, but it is not a TEAM......While I accept its a coaching issue, its much ,more too. The coach whoever he is, needs a balance to work with, too many of our players are essentially the same or similar.....and too many are not functioning to their full potential all at the same time.....thats is hard to turn around. The Transfer window has not helped either, after an encouraging start.....I think the club may have lost confidence, in the amont of damp squibs, we have signed......something is not right. I don't know, who would turn this around, in the time we want.....and Potters record is no better on paper than SG's , it wasn't that much better at Swansea either.

We should do too! Its just that since Gerrard come in he's demanded older, more experienced players so called "winners" to the team. We need to go back to signing the best young talent.

There is a deep rooted issue and it's starts with Purslow. He needs to get some people around him who know the English game, the type that Brentford and Brighton appear to have around them. He can then leave the football analysis to them , look at the facts they present and make a choice from the top contenders. I thought we had that but looking at the decisions we have made and are making we obviously haven't. Some terrible signings in areas we haven't needed and glaring omissions is areas we have , the midfield for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great recruitment team but lost their well respected director of football to Newcastle recently. Brighton have acted intelligently in the market and signed talent at low prices, but they have a tight budget and aren't exactly spending freely. Striker is the most expensive category of players -- good strikers are nearly always expensive unless you find them young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know how accurate this is but it’s from their forum… Take a look at Viera's record too......Eddie Howe, couldn't buy a win when he first came, while SG picked up 4. We need to ensure we don't lose our heads, while those around us are losing theirs. He looks broken too.....has their buying dried up? Funny how all the best managers, have the best players....is it a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
