Is this based on who they think they can get as their new manager ? I mean we know this in general due to how they acted in the summer. Just wondered if something knew had come up edit : yep - I forgot to actually reply directly to the lampard message and whilst typing the Aston Villa story dropped
This was supposed to be in reply to the lampard to Norwich link there was a pessimist somewhere who said they expected the new manager to play Gilmour and him to suddenly do really well or something
Well, it has been a little surprising Norwich haven’t played Gilmore more than they have, considering they cant buy a win until yesterday, and he is a fairly decent player. Not sure who said that, but it doesn’t sound overly pessimistic to say it, unless the context was different. Unless you are referring to the one on SWF? “Farke Off. Headline writes itself. Normally fear the new manager bounce but not so sure with Norwich. No doubt the new boss will play Billy Gilmour and he'll have a stormer, but I still fancy us to beat them.“
Yep that was probably the one . I forgot that it still went on to say they expected us to win Perhaps I say pessimist because of who the poster was but again I forget I get these two jumbled but only post on one
Yeah i was just about to post this. Ralph should go see them for their interview, get them all interested and wet in the knickers, agree it all, then tell them he doesn’t like the colour of their kit, and they only offered £25m for JWP, and their new sticker is too injury prone so doesn’t fancy their chances
Really, why? If you’re looking at it from a career perspective, it makes sense for him. Which other PL job with a bigger club with better resources could Ralph leverage himself into from here? The two 9-0s make him toxic to the truly big clubs but Villa have better facilities, far more financial power and a better squad than us. Plus they’d pay him far more than we ever can. What’s the alternative? He clings on here with little to no financial support and waits for a takeover, or he runs out of time at some point and gets sacked and his stock falls dramatically. I wouldn’t write it off.
If Gerrard gets offered it, I think he has to take it. He’d be daft not to, unless he has post-Klopp assurances from LFC.
Unlikely indeed. The positive thing in this is that Ralph is now being considered worthy of rumours, which for most of the latter half of last season and the start of this, he wasn’t.
I imagine Lampard's people may be backtracking out of Norwich if they can persuade Villa to be interested
Yeah if Villa really wanted Hassenhuttl I think he would go, not many other steps up he realistically could get
