People really shouldn't let 2 bad months overshadow the years of good work Brendan has done at Leicester. Even won them an fa cup. This is such reactionary stuff. He is a top manager imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 He could use that as a negotiating tactic, ask for total control in transfers as part of any deal. He won't get that at an 'elite' club. Edited October 21, 2022 by duke313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New guy can get us in an ok place with a decent run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Indigo said: Not surprised by the Tuchel news and similarly I would be stunned if the Poch idea worked out. I appreciate the ambition but I don't see a world where it happens, as much as Villa can throw money at them that really isn't unique, and many other clubs that are or will be interested in such names can offer a lot more than just that. I'm so jaded with Villa from this year of Gerrard's tenure that I don't really know who I'd like or what's within the scope of realistic though. Has felt like such an enormous set-back, but at least they can't get any worse. Seeing him transform Chelsea, after Lampard suggeting he'd got the same pipe-dreams of attacking expnsive football as Gerrard, I thought of him straightaway. The problem is that it has been suggested that he tends to fall out with the players. But no more excitable than Klopp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I’d be fine with Amorim I suppose, but the spanish and portuguese leagues are quite different from the Prem with the tempo being one big difference. Which is why I’d liked to see some candidates from the Bundesliga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, defensively we should be sound once players return from injury. Martinez, Cash, Carlos, Mings/Konsa, Digne and Kamara should be easily good enough to for any decent manager to get us on track for top half. The key for any new manager is going to be getting a tune out of the midfield/forwards, which again I think on paper there's enough for our short term aims, though they've shown less than the defensive end under the last two managers, so should probably be more at risk of replacement.

MrBlack Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, KMitch said: No thanks... 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. Amorim would be repeating the same mistake we made with Gerrard. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Yeah having to give SG a massive payoff will have partially screwed us won't it So short to medium term, it seems well need a proper coach who can get the absolute best out of what we've got.
