Feel Poch ought to swallow his pride tbh I am not sure he is going to get a champions league level club at this point if he wants to manage in premier league. I wonder if he is holding out for Conte flouncing off for a glorious return? Turning around Villa for a few seasons and then he is back in the picture for a 'top' job. 

 

There's swallowing your pride, then there's switching from PSG to Aston Villa...

 

Not saying he won't have to consider dropping to a team just below that elite level before long. But I suspect that's more likely to be someone like Spurs or Man Utd than Aston Villa in what's shaping up to be a relegation dog fight. 

[Tiresias]

I suppose Chelsea are a big unknown, not sure Boehly comes accross as particularly patient and Potter still unsure if he can cut it at that level (or indeed manage an unruly and powerful dressing room, been the bane for a few). Could see that happening. I just don't think poch has much stock anymore.

TBF it does well online these days on Youtube

 

DoF / a strategy to break into the top 8 or whatever. A way of operating. They let Stevie G come in and sign whoever he wanted within reason. Unless it's Pep or Klopp, you can't give a manager free reign like that. The best run clubs these days have a way of operating and they stick to it through various managers. But it comes from the very top. 

 

I like to think we have that.

 

I'd be shocked if Pep & Klopp have free reign on transfers. Influence? Most definitely, probably more than most, but both of those Football clubs are Enterprise level operations like you've described and will have worked out a business case for adding each player, even a no-brainer like Haaland.

In a world of thin-skinned weaklings, I'm just not surprised anymore with pathetic tweets like this.

Reckon Villa should go for Gabby Agbonglahor for manager. Knows the club etc. 

[Ameritoon]

'Get out of our club' is probably the most mild way to voice displeasure at a manager ffs

What's nasty about that? FFS  

[Scotty66]

Should have chanted "thank you so much but please respectfully step down and walk away where you won't be alone" 

[Pixelphish]

Please Mr Gerrard. Would you perhaps consider leaving the establishment close to my heart. 

 

Kind regards.

There was a post —much quoted and liked— running through an Everton forum in a prematch thread that drew similar conclusions. Apparently Everton have a much better squad than we do. And it’s not even close.  (What on earth were we thinking when we passed on Tarkowski to sign some kid?)

Matt Law is a fucking wet wipe, crossing a line? It’s hardly like anyone called him a cabbage head

Is it not because the second part of it will have been something like 'you shit scouse bastard' or something?

I think they were just singing "Steven Gerrard" in that bit

 

That tweet is hilarious.

Well I think Gerrard is…… a wally.

 

There, I said it.

Rafa would do a decent job there. Got a good squad and he fits that club well. Kind of hope he gets it as he deserves to be in the PL. 

[brummie]

Benitez isn't getting the job, because Purslow is probably the person he hates most in football. I can't think of anyone in the game less likely to get the job.

 

Agbonlahor makes himself out as Mr Aston Villa in his new media career but was a disgraceful fucking leech for the last five years of his career with us, I hate that idiot. He's a fucking moron.

 

The suggestion that 'get out of our club' (and believe me, the fans only turned on him vocally two games ago, it's not exactly a torrent of abuse) is crossing a line is beyond a joke.

[Skeletor]

Would be amazing for Digne to force a move from Everton to get away from Rafa, only to have Rafa as his new manager again.

It wasn't.

 

Bear in mind, this is the cunt that pretty much all season has been a 'walk straight down the tunnel, fuck the away fans' wanker.

Agbonlahor ought to have a 24-hour carer, like. He's that painfully fucking thick.

Long as it's not on the NHS.

"Get out of our club" is abuse now?
