lexicon Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'll judge him and the board by his and their actions in the January transfer window. He needs to be backed if we are going to successfully change our style of play as we need to alter the squad quite dramatically. One thing that people need to remember is that this was always going to be a tough season of transition after MON and Milner went. Couple that with injuries/illnesses and it's hardly been fair in allowing GH to show what he can really do. This is a bitter pill to swallow after MON's reign because were just never looked dejected and always had this never-say-die attitude; because they were his players and it was his team. These aren't Ged's players yet - he needs a chance to get some players in. If he doesn't bother or the board don't back him in Jan, then we need to be worried.

Redditch_Villa Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Think hes a top bloke and all and i really want to like him as a manager but come on, 16th near christmas? Ill give him until after January where he can bring in some players that he feels can help if he has the money to spend. No improvement after that? On your bike.

Majkee Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have changed my mind last night. There were no passion and no desire to win the match + he is not playing "better form" players. I want another manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If he doesn't bother or the board don't back him in Jan, then we need to be worried. By which time it will be six months too late. Im worried now btw. Worried that my deepest darkest nightmare will come true...the blues being a decent prem team and us being the next Leeds united.

Designer1 Posted December 7, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2010 I want him here about as much as he appears to want to be here. So can we please cut our losses now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoseley Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 No. His position is untenable now. He was like some 64 year old groupie last night, it was frankly embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I want him here about as much as he appears to want to be here. So can we please cut our losses now. Agree, I honestly don't think he wants to be here, just holding off for the liverpool job no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I was fully behind him until I heard his comments after last nights game, but now I think its time he went - it's clear he diesn't have any affection for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 so will there be banners and protests on Saturday? It will be the only entertainment on the day I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 7, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2010 Far too early to be talking about this, he hasnt even bought any of his own players in yet ffs. He is the manager of AVFC, lets stick by him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Didnt want him before he was appointed and i CERTAINLY dont want him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 He is the manager of AVFC, he should recognise and respect that FFS! Corrected for accuracy. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb_wm Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have sat on the fence and refused to give up on him but last night was the straw that broke the camels back. Not happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If Jol is available, we have to be ruthless and do what is best for AVFC and get him. I would probably also sound out Coyle. If they aren't available, I'd keep it the way it is. We certainly can't afford to get rid of someone and wait a month before appointing another manager.

Richard Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have said I do not think he is the right man for us right from the start of his reign here and I still do not think he is right. I was told give him time, whll when it isn't right it isn't right no matter how long you give it. BUT, it is incredibly dangerous changing a manager two or three times in a season, we have done it before and suffered. If he goes now we cannot afford to make another mistake in the next appointment and it will need to be quick and right , before January and giving the bloke full support in the window. Lots of people blaming MOn for this (still) time to look at Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Lots of people blaming MOn for this (still) time to look at Randy. Thats because MON is partly to blame, not solely but he contributed. He left at just the right time to **** us over, shows what type of bloke he is imo. Randy needs to step up and sort it out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Houllier out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 No, never wanted him as manager and never will. thought it was a disastrous cop out from Lerner from the start. Got a cheap unemployed manager, who had no major ambitions to drive the club higher than 6th. He stated from the begining that his aim was 8th to 12th. He cant' get a full hearted performance out of the team which is the most important factor. This suited Lerner, as he could keep all his Milner money. To be honest I would also like if lerner sold up. Think he handled the O'neill departure disastrously, and the money he wouldn't provide to O'Neill in september will be lost anyways in match attendances, league position, sponsorships, club shop purchases, tv money, sacking a poor manager, and paying for a new one.

Shillzz Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 If the effort was there from all parties then I would sympathise. No effort from the managers or the players is inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Anyone voting 'yes' clearly doesn't think much of Aston Villa Football Club and its fans being disrespected in such a disgraceful manner. Get him out NOW! :evil: I voted yes, it's my opinion. I'm not happy with what he said or did after the Liverpool game, but I honestly don't think that changing manager again is a good idea. I'll stick with Houllier, hope for a few good results in the next few weeks and then judge him after he's had a few transfer windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
