Yes and no.

 

Five defeats on the bounce, 18 defeats since start of year, more than any other PL club, things clearly getting worse.

 

Just before the international break. Good timing.

 

I wouldn't be too upset if we ended up getting Howe. What worries me most is some boneheaded appointment like Gerrard or Terry. 

He’s done a great job with yous and probably maxed out in terms of the ceiling he can reach, as harsh as it is, it’s probably better long-term for yous to progress more, I’m sure yous will be fine this season.

I agree with that.

 

Won ten games on the bounce after we de-Bruced, got into the play offs, won, kept us up, consolidated, but looks like not the man to take the next step.

 

Am sure he'll get a decent job elsewhere without too much trouble

 

I am just glad, given his long links with the club, it didn't reach cabbage-throwing abuse levels.

Imagine if Villa went to hijack Howe :lol:

I've said it earlier if it meant we went for Nuno I'd be up for it. They'll probably go for him. No idea why we didn't.

I see nothing in Ralph Hasenhüttl that would elevate him above the likes of Howe, very similar in my opinion, I’d be happier with Howe over him nine times out of ten.

I'm kind of curious as to how Bruce does in job interviews. I assume it's all vague generalities, mentions of working together and the need for at least two Steves.

 

 

 

Just keeps mentioning the 200 years he was Fergie's captain.

Favre or Fonseca have got to go somewhere right?

 

Doubt nuno will go straight back in but you never know. Could definitely see him at Southampton if villa went for the Hass.

 

Fair few options out there. 

 

Hasenhüttl to Villa, Howe to Southampton, Rafa to Newcastle, Bruce to Everton…

I don’t get the hate for Lampard like, it’s weird, he’s done relatively well in his only two jobs and now all of a sudden he’s another Bruce? ‘Kin hell [emoji38]

There’s zero chance of Nuno. 
 

too much local complication. 
 

I actually think Terry would be more likely than Gerrard. I think I’d prefer Terry. 

 

Two reasons. Firstly, I still get sleepless nights over the last time we appointed a British manager with the “Did really well at Rangers” justification. Secondly, I’ve also only just got over the horrific Liverpool love-fest we had with Houllier. It would be way worse with gerrard.

You think Smith losing Terry has had an impact as well?

How did Houllier do, I can’t remember much from back then?
