Sack the Manager?

[hawkeye]

I think we need a new vote

[Irish villain]

yes.

[nuninho]

Likeable chap but out of his depth.

Only downside is the dross to choose from.

I think he'll be here til end of season.  Just what league we start the next one is anyone's guess.

[kipeye]

Does he motivate the team, the fans, improve the club, get results on the pitch, say the things that are important when they need to be said, does he get anyone excited about the future?
If the answer was yes to any one of these, I  would say it is worth backing him. I voted get rid.

[olaftab]

He should resign if he has any fight left in him but I bet he has no pride and his greed  for money, and let's face is that is why he came here, means he will not.

[OzVilla]

Catch 22 isn't it.  I think it boils down to whether you think, right now, we'll be releagted unless management changes are made. 

Forget this 'if we sack him now were certs for relegation' stuff. I'd simply ask where are we now and will the players respond negatively or positively to a change? 

And forget this improving the Club nonsense, it'll take years to recover should we go down.

I think yes to those so it's a yes from me.

[gervilla]

As much as I want him sacked, its not going to happen, nor is he going to do the decent thing and walk.
We fucked and going down with a whimper.
We  finished the season with a whimper  3 seasons on the trot and I was totally pissed off that we were going to just miss out 4th spot. I'd fucking take that now.

[Chipsticks]

Yes.

Let him crawl back to Liverpool as assistant head of transport.

[peter w]

Sack him and get who?

[ChrissyPrice]

How about a "I really don't know, and I'm glad I don't have to make the decision" voting option?

[charlie]

Sad to agree, but its a lack of desire, fight, passion and even interest creeping into the team which says he has lost the players,  and also the crowd. Allerdyce now to keep us up. Players good enough, morale crap, outlook bleak, au revoir mon ami, c'est fini, l'equipe ne marche pas.

[holtepaul]

How about this for a scenario that would suit all parties.

It is obvious Lerner thinks that Villa needs rebuilding from top to bottom.

So, we take Houllier upstairs in a "Director of Football" type role. He can oversee restructuring the scouting, negotiate for targets, all that stuff.

We then appoint someone line Martin Jol, or similar as Head coach. He worked that system at Spurs and Ajax.

Houllier is not sacked - he saves face
Lerner doesn't admit he made a mistake - he saves face
We get a new manager - fans are happy.

Worth a punt !

[Phil from the upper holte]

I'm far from impressed but bring in who??

[the-farmer]

get him out now
his comments on getting the job about Villa being a mid-table team, well hasn't he done well

absolute shambles today

[Chipsticks]

I'm far from impressed but bring in who??

There's been talk of Hughton and...Allardyce...

and even Moyes.
