Of course we're a top club (historically).
Yes before WWI
It's the sort of comment I would expect from a Blose or a boggie but not a Villa fan. Just to remind you of League cup wins and championship in 81 and the ....

It is a good job I am not in Tom Fox' position as I would be sounding Rodgers out tonight for the Villa job, and if he showed any willing I would be getting him in.

Did he and Paddy Reilly get on?

I'm not sure, Rodgers did nearly win them the title in fairness but on the other side of the coin, he's brought some terrible players and spent a shit load of money. Besides, no-one suggested him while he was in work.

As TV says, Rodgers doesn't have much input on the players that Liverpool sign. He has a say, but not much more than that.

On the bright side, the bloke who helped him bring in quite a lot of those terrible players is now in charge of our transfers. So silver linings and all that.

Given how easy our start to the season has been on paper he's got to be in the last chance saloon.

If we went for Rogers imagine the tiki taka between Guzan and Lescott

Weren't we the most successful club for 73 years? What have they managed so far, half that? Pfft, positively tin-pot.

Forest are so big they've spent half their history out the top flight. Leeds are such a massive club they've reached one cup final outside of the Revie era, and we all know how that went for them. Those kind of clubs aren't fit to be in the same sentence as Aston Villa.

Our relative size will both mean fuck all and be undermined if we get relegated.

As much of a cock as Sherwood is making of himself he's contributed to some very good players now being at the club. Much as you suggest is also down to Paddy. I'd love to see what Rodgers would do with the likes of Jack, Gana, Traore, Veretout, Gil and Amavi

We also aren't as shit as we, and others, make out. In the last 20 years we've had 4 cup finals, numerous other semi-finals, European campaigns etc, outside of the money clubs, who can match that?

Leeds have spent longer outside the top flight than in it.

We are second, behind Everton.

I think our management have accepted that relegation is possible and Tim is to be given long enough to turn it around its going to be dire

I am praying right now that we announce Sherwood is fired very, very soon.

Leeds have had 50 seasons in the top flight, 38 out of it. Take out the Revie inspired decade and they've got one title and nothing else. Until Revie arrived they'd finished in the top 10 five times and averaged 30K twice (32K and 30,200). If ever a club was built on one man, it's Leeds.
