Given the stated ambitions we need to upgrade about 95% of the team to get to where we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobsons Choice Posted October 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2022 I have no factual basis to back this up, but an Amorim appointment does have a kind of Remi Garde kind of vibe to it. It's a gamble to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days of “safe hand” managers are gone in my opinion with where we are especially, we aren't attracting a sure-fire hit, we have to target who will be the next big thing and even lean on the PL being what attracts them if we alone can't knutsen for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 21, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 minute ago, nepal_villan said: Purslow at the Fans’ Consultation Group What? You mean he didn't walk into a Fans’ Consultation Group and announce to them all that Gerrard was underperforming and they were probably imminently about to sack him? Yea, that's evidence he's a pure fan boy and will have made no contingency plans to sack him and get anyone else in. Can you imagine the furore if he had said they were going to sack him in that meeting? The accusations of unprofessionalism and disrespect? It would have resulted in an absolute firestorm. When will people realise that we are dealing with cool professional people here? They're not going to be getting involved in tittle tattle with fans at a meeting about peoples employment situation at the club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's why: Only 37 and only has 3 full seasons of top flight management in Portugal Gerrard's team outcoached him in the Europa League in 2020 Despite last season's historic performance at Sporting, his team are already massively struggling this season He isn't ready for the Villa job at this time... Basically the equivalent of being the Portuguese Gerrard at the point in his career... Needs several more years of successful management before coming to the Premier League.

He's a very young manager, only coached in his home country. Coming to a club in a big league that is struggling. Recipe for disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allani Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 5 minutes ago, Pinebro said: Pochettino would live in London and only use us as a short term gig for something better. I'm not too fuzzed. Want managers who is desperate for the job and fully motivated+committed. Disagree. If Villa in 17th is the height of their ambition then there is an issue. We want someone who sees success with us as possibly giving them a shot at an elite club. In the meantime we have 2 seasons (hopefully!) of improvement to convince them that they should stay and see if they can achieve that success with us.

rodders0223 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Poch isn't a stupid guy. He knows without the right people and structure at a club you can't succeed. He's probably took one look at our signings the past few years and the people in high positions and thought **** that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
