JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Looking from the outside in, and fan reactions re Amorim.

So many chancers making a living off the fact they've been in the game for a good period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we buy Sporting, maybe we don’t have to pay compensation for Amorim. I like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was that diving header attempt that nearly went for a throw from 8 yards out when all he needed to do was side foot it in. I'd have subbed immediately paid off his contract and told him to gtfo that second Edited October 22, 2022 by VillaJ100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he may have a few more things going for him, but he's still managing in an inferior league, he's never managed in England, let alone the Premier league, and he's really really young. I won't be upset if we appoint him, but I will be far more reserved in my expectations of him than I was with Gerrard. I'd rather we went with someone like Tuchel or my first choice Emery. Yes yes yes , it's still a gamble, but it's less of one, and we really can afford to lose on our next appointment. Relegation awaits if we do. Is that fickle or ridiculous?

I'm speaking on the clamour for him prior the Sportings game. Then the meltdown by Sporting fans when they went into the half at the break, and our fans suddenly saying he's a loser. Then the back to being brilliant after they turned it around. I'm just saying in general, as football fans, we aren't very stable or reasonable at all haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 5 hours ago, markavfc40 said: In Rodgers three full seasons at Leicester they have finished 5th/5th/8th. Won the FA Cup with them in 2021. That is some record. No doubt there has been a steady drop off over the last 14 months but that has coincided with Leicester tightening their belts, their better players being sold and a number of their players aging. He is still relatively young in managerial terms at 49 but has plenty of experience in the Premier League and at big clubs, Liverpool and Celtic, with big expectations. Plays a decent brand of football. I think he ticks a lot of boxes for us and I think he is gettable. I think Rodgers needs time off a bit like Howe at Bournemouth. He has ability but needs a break 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was amorim or emery then I'd agree But I don't think it will be, I think it will be more amorim or Rodgers, Nuno, Rafa, Parker, Dyche etc etc then I'd rather we took the gamble Said before I'm not really worried about relegation, this squad is good enough, it's miles away from what happened before, it just needs someone semi competent and some motivation and confidence and that will be enough for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 £25 million just to have a young manager? Nobody can be that good. I'd love Villa to have a 70% win rate - but this is Villa, we will have setbacks and this guy has no track record of overcoming anything, it's all been gravy so far.

I'm assuming most on here aren't being serious and having a bit of fun (hard to do much else with football and villa at the moment). That said, yes, we are generally a fickle bunch. We just didn't like Gerrard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he had 77% win rate with Braga, who aren’t one of the Big 3. Which is why Sporting paid €10m for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
