Poch

Ended badly at Espanyol
Sacked trom Tottenham and Paris

It's a big no from me,I fear this would be another disaster. We should be going all out to bring in Jose Mourinho if we actually want some silverware.

The one manager who would guarantee worse football than we’re currently being served.

Another pisstake - we'd certainly lose the 26,000 ST waiting list if Mooorinio were to be hired.

Wilma is just posting for effect. Dont fall for it. You should all realise that by now.

Wanting one of the most successful managers of all time ,who wins something everywhere he goes (sacked by spurs after getting them to a final?)

Yet calling for 'poch' who has won sod all is trendy thing to say.

There's something of a trend happening here and it's usually what I see coming true.....some people just don't like to hear it how it is.

Fingers crossed for a new CEO and a Labour Government by the end of the year. Both aren't far away, when the next guy fails at Aston Villa the owners will have no choice but to question those running the show.

[RamboandBruno]

Whilst I agree on the Labour Government, can we all not get dragged into Freds poch is shit spam!!

[john e]

I love fred and value his considered opinion

[PaulTheVillan]

If Juventus are after Poch then I feel we might be disappointed

Me too, a valued contrary viewpoint is always appreciated.

Yeah.  IF we did have a slim chance, the Juve job coming would be likely to kybosh that.

Juventus seem to be getting linked with everyone who has ever managed Tottenham. They can't appoint all of them.

On talksport they are talking about manager behaviour.

Sherwood saying he tried to backheel a water bottle in frustration when boss at villa and did his hamstring!

We're no stepping stone. There's generally only one way your managerial career goes after us. Which is possibly what puts some off more than anything else who might otherwise fancy a go at it.

Said before, but that's just _the way_.  Villa is a hard gig, IMO, because the expectation is that we finish above (for example) all of the London sides.  Maybe not straight away, but eventually.  Finishing, say, 10th/11th is never going to be good enough in B6 - except for exceptional circumstances such as second-season-back-from-the-Championship, which is a place we thankfully rarely visit.  Practically every Villa supporter sees us as at least regulars in the top 6.  A side who should be playing in Europe most seasons.  That's the base level of expectations for most supporters, even if that's not the way the rest of the footballing world sees things.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate, Algy.
