Manager for next season

[gpbarr]

I really hope Remi gets the chance to ram all the shit he's been getting down some throats next season, but I fear it's too late for him now. Everything's broken.

he has had the chance , and won 2 out of 19 games with players who have gradually got  worse since he took over

no he hasnt had a chance at all

And the players haven't got worse, statistically or actually. Just as shit, yes, but not worse.

Just as shit, but not worse (in fact statistically more points per game than Sherwood, not that this is any achievement).

When are people going to realise, the problems at Villa are a little more fundamental than the manager.

[Dante Lavelli]

Earlier switched on the Championship game between Middlesborough and Hull. They showed the table and Burnley who are top have 74 points from 37 games. So that's 9 games to go still.  Just think about it, 74 points already!

What usually wins the PL? ...with 37 games under their belt they're one game away from a complete PL season.

With the disruptive influences jettisoned and limited cash to spend on replacements, I think the number of games will be our biggest problem next season.  Lots of games for the youth players I suspect, and no one knows what quality they have.  Mind you some loans should fill the voids.

In which case it's a good job they're being addressed.

I actually think I, er, trust this board to get it right. Never thought I'd say that again.

You need 75 plus points to make the play offs don't you? The premier league is usually won around 85, and 74 from 37 is 2 points a game, which is about what i would expect for the top 3-4 in the Championship. Anything under that is not going to get in the top 2. Our biggest issue will be having a big enough pool of forward options.

They are, but that doesn't exempt the manager for our god awful performances.

poor poor remi on his 25k a week

jesus what about us? having to put up with the dirge week in week out

Uh then perhaps you should direct your ire / blame to the players, most of whom are on a weekly income that dwarfs the managers. But I guess in your eyes, not their fault...

its remi and the players fault

how anyone can want the manager with an appalling record and who has blatantly given up and is no better than sherwood win wise is bizarre

i think it must be because in the summer a switch will be flicked then remi will miracuosly know what he is doing

Or maybe he will get his own players in the dressing room and have the right personalities and quality to bring something out  of the group.

I'd like to see him get the chance.

[Risso]

Or look at it another way, Burnley were crap last season, lost 3 or 4 of their best players and still have 74 points already. It really is a shit standard down there.

They've also got a striker they paid £9m for who is almost certainly better than any player we currently have.

I couldn't tell you whether Grey is any good or not, as I've only seen Burnley once this season and didn't know he was on the pitch. I'd have to defer to the times you've seen him for Brentford and Burnley which you base your assessment off. But if Gestede can score 20, that doesn't make him a good player, which is the point PWS is making; it's a poor quality league.

... the manager who has blatantly given up and ... in the summer a switch will be flicked then remi will miracuosly know what he is doing

OFT:
He certainly looks like he's given up; not surprisingly really with the hand he was dealt. Perhaps he already knows that the Board will support his efforts to 'clean up' the playing staff over the summer and bring in players that will perform in a way that befits a club and its supporters like ours. Incidentally, with the cautious optimism emanating from the reserve-team set-up, perhaps our Championship side will contain some surprising additions from the home-grwon stock that we have: Garde certainly seems quite smug about them when you see him interviews being asked about them.
