Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[villan1975]

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.

Moyes for me is and was an outstanding manager who should never have taken the United job. Especially later on in his tenure I remember some very fluid but powerful football.  All the kudos for Martinez at the moment seems a little unfair on Moyes to me as the foundations were surely laid before his arrival.

It is a definite yes for me

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

That's because it's the worst villa team in PL history too.

I think it extremely unlikely that he will be looking for a job immediately, where the media will be just waiting for the first signs of him faltering. It is more likely that he will want to let the dust settle while he takes stock and assesses his options. The high turnover of managers will mean there will always be opportunities.

Mind you, such is my record lately that me predicting it almost guarantees that the opposite will happen.

The England job should be up for grabs come the back end of July so he could hold out for that

He won't want to take a 'lower' job than club the size of Everton, so he might not have that many options.  I can't see him going to Spurs, but Newcastle is a possibility.

Moyes, like O'Neill could get his team playing well for about 2/3rds of a season. The difference between the two was Moyes decent spells was at the end and it always seems better to end well then to begin well.

Also, I decided to check out his cup record as I knew he hadn't won anything but wanted to see how close he got. I found this page after they lost to Wigan last year. Reading some of the comments, there are definitely some comparisons with our own TSM's.

And I expect the Kudos is the same as Pochettino at Southampton. Everyone was saying why get rid of Atkins and then with more or less the same players, he has gotten them playing better. But even if you believe that Moyes laid the foundations, what foundations are in our team for Moyes to takeover considering a lot of people on here state we are the worst team ever in the Prem.

This is the reason why we need somebody like Moyes with a long term vision. We need stability and unless massive investment is forthcoming somebody who could basically coach and drill poor players into a style and system that suits. That person 100% isn't Lambert.

I wonder if he will do a McClaren/ Robson and try moving abroad, (not that I can see many going for him and his current style).

I suppose Scotland might be 'abroad' soon.

Shame Fergie didn't take this advice when advocating McLeish to us!

It fooking stings that the "failure" still got 6 pts off us.

Doesn't it just.  Evidently there are some traditions so etched in stone that even Moyes can't nawse them up.

If Moyes gets the tin-tack then Lambert must have some compromising pictures of members of the BoD!!
