Pilko Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Delighted for brummie. Seeing as these things come in threes, Villa need to complete the dour Scottish hattrick; McLeish, Lambert.... Strachan? Burley? Mackay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If it was the end of the season, I could imagine Villa getting Benitez. He wants to come back and his family are still in Liverpool so not that far a commute. Other than us (and he is far too expensive and political for Ashley) and perhaps West Ham, I cannot see which other English club would be suitable because the top 7 are taken care of. I would imagine they would be an attractive club to many managers but those interested may want to wait until the end of the season if they are already in a job and also to see if they are still in the Premier League.

joeyt Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hilarious that pundits and ex players are saying that fan power played a part in his sacking. Not the fact they've scored 12 goals and haven't won since the start of December Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Benitez? You must be joking. I just think they can and will probably attract a good manager who will significantly improve them because their board will not restrict the manager's role as we do (and will pay more). As clubs, we should probably attract a similar profile of manager but given a choice, they will be a more attractive proposition. I only mentioned Benitez because it keeps being reported that he wants to come back to the Premier League and as far as I can see, his options of clubs are severely limited if that is the case and Villa like us should be challenging for the top 8 if they were being backed properly by their owner.

Lerner interviewed Benitez after Houllier went (or was it McLeish, can't remember). It became apparent that Benitez was interested in the job (hence the interview), but was expecting loads more money to spend on players, hence Lerner cutting the interview short So, basically, no chance.

brummie Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hilarious that pundits and ex players are saying that fan power played a part in his sacking. Not the fact they've scored 12 goals and haven't won since the start of December It is offensive bollocks. He has had almost zero stick at the actual matches for 2.5 years, until Hull the other night. It was the odd bit of post-whistle booing and a few chants a week or two ago. I struggle to think of a sacking in recent times which has been less about fan power. I would list the records for shitness he has broken (highest ever defeat, lowest points, longest without scoring etc etc etc) as reasons he's been sacked, but I've said it all before.

KaKa Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's almost as though people over here love to get away with doing the bear minimum to stay in their jobs, and once anyone else who is underperforming gets the sack, they all start worrying, as it is then more likely their efforts will come under scrutiny.

GeordieT Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Woops, accidentally selected Koeman. From now until the end of the season I think only Bruce and Pearson might face the chop. Think Burnely will stick with Dyche and everyone else will at that end of the table have already made a move and will have to love with the consequences.
