Former PL club Aston Villa 2-3 Watford - post mortem thread

[joe_c]

We have lots of "guests" on site today.

Don't write things like that TBAR will go into meltdown

It is at least comforting to consider those less fortunate than ourselves

[Scooter]

When you're buying centre backs from West Brom for 1.5M before a ball has been kicked, then you know you're already fucked. What an absolute shambles our club has become. Shameful.




 

[mr woo]

The current executive set up at the club isn't the issue.

I have to say, I am not very impressed with Tom Fox so far.

It was his decision to not only be stupid enough to hire Tim Sherwood, but to have done so having only his name on the list.

What kind of brainfart was that? Why have a list of one, a man who has managed for, what, half a season?

I think the bloke's time in charge has been an unmitigated disaster.

Again, I completely agree. We gave the most important position at the club away to a man who was sacked FIVE MONTHS into an 18 month contract. In the only management job he'd ever had. Ludicrous.

And now (like anyone's surprised) we've fulfilled the prophecy of being completely shit under the aforementioned cockney chancer, the powers that be reassemble and step back, gather their thoughts, scratch their chins, scour the football world in a relentless quest for the absolute best sure fire answer to our woes and come up with..............

.... a French bloke with three years experience, in the French league only and who has never managed in England. Who was so 'special' he has since been out performed by his successor. Who it appears has an accepted weakness for poor defensive organisation. Who was appointed without his preferred backroom staff. Who has never been in a relegation fight (even as a player? unless anyone knows otherwise?).

Hey buts ok. Tom knows him from the Arsenal days!!!!  We're saved!!!


Meanwhile, we skip the two most obvious choices by a week, who will now show our board up for the mugs they are by dragging their clubs*(and therefore our rivals for fucks sake) to safety.

Marvellous.





*assuming Moyes goes to Barcodes as rumoured.

[mr underhill]

I always wanted Moyes but he wouldn't save us this yea,r and to be honest I don't think he'd save the Jawdies. He's had two consecutive knock backs which will have dented his self belief. I know it sounds odd after managing one of the biggest clubs on the planet, but imo, Moyes would be better served at a Championship club. Villa might well have been the right club at one time for him, but that time is long ago and far away.

[Dan England]

Sort the back five out and there is a small fighting chance. For me, the keyl is the back four who have no faith whatsoever in Guzan. The uncertainty in their game comes from the lack of presence,  decisiveness and communication. Sort that and there will be an improvement. I don't think it is any coincidence that leicester's turn around last year started when Schmeichel got back into the team.

 Unfortunately I think is too late.  There are two very tough games to come 5 pts from 16 games looks likely. On that basis I'd roll the dice and give someone else a shot. We now truly have nothing to lose,  it can't get any worse.

He will be ready made come summer 2016 then

[mr woo]

Maybe so.

But if they'd got Garde and we'd took Moyes I know who my money would be on.

I agree. He would do nothing with this squad. He'll struggle with the geordie squad as well but theyve got enough points to survive with a few new players.

I cant believe we're on course to accrue the lowest points in the prem era. Truly shameful and pathetic and another 6 months of it to endure. A slow death

[rob_bridge]

I think we should start a sticky for directions for next season.

Got a couple if mates who are Brentford fans. Been there a few times. Like Griffin Park. They hate QPR and Chelsea and Fulham

[Duncan Shaw]

So the two clubs buying from the French leagues are where in the table? 

[four fornicholl]

Let's worry about this season before we start talking about the next 2.

whats to worry about?

we are down and anyone who thinks we arent is deluded

and as for players coming in during jan, fuck me who are we going to attract?

call me deluded but I will not accept we are done for
never ever ever UTV

Reilly and Almstadt must have looked at Newcastle, thought hang on a minute they've stayed up by the skin of their teeth for a few seasons and made a little profit I'll have some of that, let's copy their model.

Then actually gone through with it.

[Des Little]

The whole club is in a mess. Not just the team. It's rotten to the core.

[LeeB]

It's going to be a hell of a party when we survive at the death.
