Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[martin o`who??]

They've just said it's a year to the day since they won the league following a 3-0 win over us. What they failed to mention was that all 3 goals were offside !

The opening credits to MOTD really boils my p*ss
Every time 'that goal' by Van Persie is shown
we have a chorus of "offside!" in our house

One of the benefits of Ferguson going - and this has been to Moyes detriment - is that match officials at Old Trafford all of a sudden don't feel intimidated and are prepared to give penalties, flag for offside and add on the correct amount of added time that don't favour the home team.

i`ve been saying that for weeks, and long may it continue.

If we went for Moyes it'd be the same boring, unimaginative football all over again. He's old school with old ideas. Perfect if that's what you want but I want a modern manager playing a modern game now. It's been a boring, uninspiring time. Time for new ideas and footballing philosophies for me.

That's not saying he's not good enough for us, it's just me saying he's not right for us.

I agree.  Moyes is (possibly was, as he may not recover from this) the best 'typically british' manager but that model both in the way the club is structured and also the manager's vision and tactics rarely works nowadays.

This Yanited season is just hilarious . Definitely getting the DVD of it

shame Villa still couldnt get a point

And neither did a 6-7 other clubs.

Its normally 18 thou

The worst Man U team in PL memory, and they still put 7 past our lot without breaking sweat, ouch!

[Toronto Villa]

Any club appointing Moyes has to realise that what he offers isn't a quick fix. It takes years to build. He'll give any club outside that top 6 or 7, in time a very solid if unspectacular base and provide consistent results season after season. However, unless you're willing to be patient, and I mean over a number of years which in football terms is an eternity, then you're likely not going to move much further ahead quickly. For us, we're way past Moyes. We need a very different approach to his dour, sometimes lifeless football. We've had enough of that in the pas few years to last a lifetime. Give me some continental flair and some excitng technically gifted players.

If there is no take-over in the offing I'd offer him the job today. He'll want a job and he'll be the best we can potentially get.

How many of us wanted Moyes before the arrival of Lambert?

Has Moyes become an awful manager inside a season?

Really surprised by this as surely the Man U board knew after Ferguson it was going to be a major rebuilding job and if they wanted a big name manager why didn't they go for Mourinho at the outset?

I suppose there is indeed some parity with Moyes at Man U and our very own Lambert. Both tasked with rebuilding a team and both ultimately failing to appease the expectancy of the fans and for one club that has been enough to sack the manager while the other is momentarily kept in his job because his remit was to run us on the cheap irrespective of results which look like being good enough to keep us in the Premiership by the skin of our teeth.

I suppose if the mooted rumours are correct then it was Ferguson who chose his successor and it was on the recommendation of Ferguson that Mcleish came to our club. For such a brilliant manager his choice of manager has stunk the Premiership out and maybe just maybe his aura this morning has now dimmed slightly.

I would still like to see Moyes as our new manager. Reasons being that I still feel he is a very good manager who really hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip at Man U because the expectancy has been so high and it was always going to be an impossible job to follow Ferguson especially with an ageing squad to revamp yet somehow still achieve CL qualification. The expectancy level at our club wouldn't be as high and given time with increased funding from the mooted take over in the summer Moyes could again build another Everton dynasty here which let's face it is a darn sight better than we all have had to endure over the past several seasons.

Have you seen Moyes' record for his first few seasons at Everton?  I'd argue Lambert is doing a much better job in a comparable situation.

Two manager of the years and CL qualification is his 3rd season. One scrape with relegation.

Plus he took over a similar shambles.

Lambert also took over a shambles and, fair play to the Everton board, they stuck with their manager and gave Moyes the chance of a third season.

If Lambert was to go, then Moyes would be pretty much top of my list to replace.  And I expect he'd be top of Randy's, too.

If Randy shocks us all and says he's staying, and Moyes is free then I'd not be surprised at all if he became Villa manager. However, as good as his Everton credentials are it will take a while to get there with us under the same parameters. Do we have the patience after McLeish and Lambert for it?

I want the 'next Jurgen Klopp'

[mr underhill]

tbh even though the chap's stock is slightly diminished at the moment, it's an insult mentioning Moyes alongside TSM1 and TSM2. He's altogether better than they will ever be.

He was after 10 years at Everton. He wasn't always better than them, he had spells with his club iin the bottom three and sending his team out in the infamous 4-6-0 formation before the false nine was invented. Not because it was a false-nine but because he chose to play with no forwards. Moyes, is a good manager but was allowed to exist at a time and at a club that gave him that time to make numerous good and bad decisions. It's just that we don't remember all of the bad ones that drove their fans nuts.

Well, I would personally, but I'd expect many others wouldn't.

And wasn't the 4-6-0 thing becuase he literally had no fit strikers at the time?

I cannot find it on their website now but there was an enlightening article in the guardian this weekend with some leaks from within Everton suggesting he was not that popular.  It also mentioned that his transfer dealings were uber cautious and the list of players he was offered but turned down was staggering (albeit that's to be somewhat expected after 10 years).
