Said he reckons Poch is a great Manager, but would probably more be looking for a team which has fallen out of the Champions/ Euro League with a strong squad to take back. Whereas he reckons Unai Emery is the type who has the heart and desire to drag a club like our from bottom all the way up. Basically, he feels Emery would be a better fit. Poch is pretty determined. He’d jump ship at the first sniff of a CL club in for him though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not been a manager since SGT who's left us for another job. Worrying about them leaving us for something better is a mug's game. It's better than the cycle of paying off failures that we've been stuck in for decades 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard leaving might not make much difference to the actual coaching but could have an effect on mentality, like when an oppressed nation is liberated from a despotic ruler. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would we cope? I suppose there would be big compensation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may make a difference to the actual coaching in respect that there’d be some. As for the despotic ruler, hopefully he goes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has left Aston Villa and achieved anything? Smith is doing alright at Norwich, but outside of that very little. Gregory, Little, even Ron Saunders did nothing after us. Not that this has anything to do with our next manager but hey. Because the managers I mentioned, apart from Atkinson and MON reached their pinnacles as managers at Villa. Little was never a big name, neither Gregory or Smith, but they got the club and no doubt when they look back on their times at Villa nothing will surpass that period. Either as players or managers for however long that period lasted. If anything, it is a prime reason why we've flittered about from decent to average to poor over the years. Not enough emphasis on bringing a top manager. We've been lucky at times, that in moments we've brought in those closely connected rather than a big name and they've delivered something of substance. Anyone worth their salt could get the current squad playing decent football, even if a little inconsistent. It's certainly not a managerial graveyard by any stretch unless there is an admittance of hiring the wrong managers to start with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the favourite to replace Ole as well… I do think it’s gunna be between poch and emery … Would luv Tuchel and Gallardo but cannot see either of those happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Poch is fantasyland but if he did come and we only got two years out of him then the next appointment would be a lot easier, we'd be looking for a new head coach whilst not being a basket case for the first time in ages 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
