For that matter, it's pure speculation that we're looking at either of them as potential replacements for Steven Gerrard. Here's the sum total of all of the facts we know from inside the club so far: Danks on Sunday. Moderator nailed it. Everyone should enjoy this time and dream all we like. It makes a nice change from having no hope for Villa to one right now where its wide open. All I know is I feel more optimistic and excited about our club today than I did yesterday. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a credible reporter is told something by a source who has direct knowledge of something, and then writes about it, it's a poor description to call it "speculation". Speculation is when someone is guessing. Truth can exist outside of Villa's official web page. Crap reporters speculate all the time, no surprises there, but not all journalists are the same.

I can name many occasions credible reporters have got it wrong. With things like Poch, you tend to find one or two have spoken to a friend of Poch’s and the others are regurgitating the story. On top of that, things change by the hour. Poch telling his mates last week he probably isn’t interested may have been before conversations, promises, etc. I’m sure they’re not getting blow by blow updates on what’s happening.

There are many manager have come from almost nowhere and become really successful, like Arteta (zero experience), Wenger (from a Japanese club). If we can find the next new think, that will be fantastic. To be honest I don’t care if the next manager is experienced, proven, as long as he makes Villa entertaining and makes us able to compete in the top half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 After the glee of last night's good news, today I feel depressed. It seemed like we were poised to finally kick on and maybe challenge for Europe, if not this season, then next. But here we are, close to the drop zone in late October, no manager, ravaged by injuries and player confidence shattered. Fans bewildered and alienated. It's the same old story. Round and round we go, a boring joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but that was the belief of the last manager, wasn't it. So to just go headlong into the same kind of decision making that put us in such a ruinous position in the first place would be completely reckless.

useless Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Amorin would hardly be some unknown gem, he's already one of the most highly rated young managers in Europe, linked with the Chelsea and Man Utd jobs earlier this year, whether he would work out for us I don't know, but if we were to get him it would be seen as a big coup, and if we don't get him he will probably end up at one of the big clubs of Europe before long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest when I heard that Gerrard was in the running to replace Smith, I thought it was a joke, and that the club couldn’t be that stupid. As long as we don’t employ somebody’s mate, that is at least a small step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
