Wouldn't mind him myself tbph ... intelligent player, did pretty well at Direby and got a tune out of the Chavs when they couldn't buy ... not convinced subsequent Chav purchases were his choices ...
Shows he has balls taking the job because I don't think their squad is all that without Grealish and they're just bombing down the league at a rate of knots. Surprised he left Rangers like because I personally would have wanted to win a Scottish double before I walked to the Premier League, but Celtic have been applying some pressure as of late, maybe he bottled it. ¨ Probs the best appointment Villa could make right now so their board pulled a blinder.
personally not over impressed with his performance at Derby considering their ridiculous budget and the fact he also had Wilson , Mount and Tomori on loan.
Their squad is more than decent, Smith was ****ing useless imo. He’ll do alright there, as he’s got some decent players to work with and the wealthy owners will no doubt back him in Jan.
It’s a terrible career decision imo, as that club lacks any ambition whatsoever. Old Delia keeps running up the annual profits as they yo-yo between the divisions but won’t sanction decent investment to give them a chance of survival, they’re a joke of a club, and he’s basically signed up to try and get them promoted again next season.
well on a quick check over the last 3 years of accounts they made a loss and even without covid restrictions they wouldn't have made much of a profit without the profit on transfers . I fully see why their board is trying to ensure that they don't put the club in jeopardy by gambling on staying in PL .
They made £21.5m in their last accounts doesn’t matter which channel the profit came via. https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/club-release-annual-accounts They also made a small profit during the worst of COVID and made a solid profit the year prior, so I’ve no idea what you’re on about.
too early for me, ljinders then maybe Stevie after... if hes up to it. Theres no way he takes over from klopp if hes been **** in the prem with villa. We aint man utd
Surprised anyone's taken him tbh. As soon as the pool job comes up he is off (like Lampard did when at Derby) so he is not even a medium term appointment. Surprised he has taken them on tbh too. They are dogshit bad. They made us look a decent team ffs. They could damage his reputation and he could well end up taking them down..
Always thought that he could make a good manager but should never had taken the Chelsea job when he did.
