Come on Premier League clubs still infatuated with overseas coaches or famous ex-players.
Did get the gig when they weren't top flight, mind you.The manager the just sacked was neither
Premier league clubs desperate to stay up will not go for a manager who has never managed in the Premier league.
Agreed...Yep, I think Lampard would be a better fit for Villa then Robins.
Steven Gerrard would be a good fit at villa , a big club and a step up league wise from rangers .. would give him the platform to possibly succeed klopp in the future if he was to do well there
John Terry must be in their thoughts.
5-10 years before he manages England?
Warnock will be the perfect choice for Vile. Their most apt manager since John Gr666ry.The manager the just sacked was neither
Think Villa have made a mistake there. They've sold a talismanic player and are now struggling because of it. I'd have Smith at Cov in future if we needed a manager.
I think he would have turned it around myself
Ironically many clubs also have people that recruit players for the manager to work with.. who also always seem to avoid the sackVilla and Norwich both sold their best player
No one is surprised that their teams have suffered as a result
But it's the manager who gets the sack
I saw a bit of them second half at Southampton and was really surprised they lost as they looked really threateningI think he would have turned it around myself
I guess from the board's view, with the international break incoming, it made sense to pull the trigger now on a manager who got £100M+ to spend after selling Villa's best player.
But its not great you can get the sack after losing 5 games. IMO, Smith is a decent manager who laid the foundations for Brentford's promotion, he'll have no trouble getting a job elsewhere.
It goes on longer than that. No PL side have lost more games in 2021
No as they just got promoted back. More than Newcastle, Palace, Burnley etcMore than Norwich? Bilmey. I still think he'd turned it around but we'll never know.
