The Fish 10872 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 They're going for Pearson aren't they? Â Seems an odd time to do it. What's the new man going to do? They can get 37pts, maximum. Unless they want the new man to see which players he wants shot of in the summer. I'd imagine the ones he wants to go will be the ones who're wanting to go anyway.

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 They will get him in now to plan for the championship. Get a closer look at who he wants to keep/sell and have a full summer ahead of him. Makes sense tbh, the exact opposite of what Ashley would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They'd be better off using this relegation to clean house and start afresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpossiblyDaft 1 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Why not? He's done rebuild jobs before, has a pretty strong track record in the Championship and is the sort of person who'll ditch all their lazy wasters. Seems like a decent enough fit.

The Fish 10872 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 They've not been near relevance since Atkinson though. True, but if Southampton can lurch back into the Premier League and have genuine tilts at Europe, then I'm sure a club like Aston Villa can. For all their faults (and they are legion) they're still a big club who can trade on their history and fame much more than a club like Swansea or Stoke.

I think chances are they need to accept a manager who can just steady the ship and get them heading back in the right direction before they can think about getting back to relevance.

Dr Gloom 21963 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 They did alright for a few years under Martin O Neil, so probably have a better recent record than us, that fluke season under Pardew aside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10872 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 That American I record the podcast with sent out a message asking if anyone wanted to try and get tickets for whichever is the game Leicester clinch the title... Â Now, I'm not averse to watching other teams, I used to watch AFC Wimbledon a lot, even saw them promoted twice. Once at the Etihad. But I cannot understand travelling to leicester (or with leicester fans) to watch them lift the Premier League trophy when my team is, in all likelihood, relegated to the Championship. Â He says "A win for Leicester is a win for everyone". I'm not sure Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd or Liverpool feel that way. I'm fairly certain Leicester winning the title isn't a win for Villa, for Newcastle or for sunderland either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33270 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 He's American. I'm guessing he hasn't trudged through the eighties with CT in the dark at St James' Park in the gallowgate end in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This whole Maxi Lopez/Mauro Icardi feud is getting weird. Basically Icardi started dating Lopez's missus when they were going through a rough patch, leading her to divorce Lopez and marry Icardi not long after.
