It's not the club who isn't a pull, it's the manager, players are going to well they spent 140 mil last season on what, we need a manager that can attract better players and that the players respect, because come on we can't attract callum Wilson it's a joke, there players available, king, pukki, eduard, sarr, deeney, morales, bentekke, ineacho, batishaui, also deleaufou, Brook, benduia, lanzini, Anderson, Davies from Everton, siguardson aswell, the Danish winger faulk who is available for 12mil who is class, then the freebies, fraser, Clyne, cavini, gotze, higuain, don't know why we are being tight, forget the Brentford lads there is better available than them, I hope we don't panic buy like last time surely thou a manager will have a list of his top targets then a 2nd and 3rd list if they can't get there proper targets,

Promoted at the first time of asking, club record unbeaten run, premier league status achieved for another year and a cup final, all in his first 18 month in the job. Add to that this was all achieved whilst probably going through the toughest time of his life and him being one of us, quite literally from the stands, and he still has to put up with this absolute BS. Never has it been more clear how much of a poisoned chalice our managers job is. The lack of respect and the way some of our own fans spit in the face of our manager tells you all you need to know. Put away support is phenomenal, our home support has dipped and peaked in the last 5 years, not in numbers but in quality. But we still have some of the most fickle, yellow bellied, turn coat, spineless supporters in country.

I agree Chris. Could Jonny be a bluenose in disguise as he never has a good thing to say about Villa?
06 Sep 2020 18:58:22
Couldn’t agree with you more chrisavfc
And he kept us up without our main striker, number 1 keeper and probably our most outstanding player before his injury ( McGinn )
My only concern is all the sold call bartering over transfer fees,
Identify your targets and get them in, like fergie used to do at utd ( get them early and intergrated into the squad ready for the season )
Just think we are leaving it a bit to late and the panic buys may happen.

Gotta agree Chris, if we’re a goal down at half time, get behind the team, not boo them, and stay to the end, sod beating the traffic to get home for X-Factor or Strictly
UTV.

Well said Chris. Dean smith and his team have done a decent job.

I'm aloud my view mate, he's not good enough in my view and we got lucky going to cup final, and by staying up, plus he's not the manager too take us to next level, aot of my mates are villa fans and we all agree he's not good enough there's more negatives than good, if you think he's a good manager than what are his qualities because I don't see it he's useless, while he's in charge we will just be, a 4th from bottom side but I can't see our owners going to be happy with that, also he's got another 100mil to spend I wouldn't trust him spending a 10er, if he has his way we will just sign all the Brentford players, we should be ambitious like Leeds did when they got bielsa in championship same as wolves when they got nuno, and Everton when they got ancelotti near bottom of prem,

Wot is they to be happy about being a villa supporter at the moment mate yes we stayed in the league by luck, so I guess I'm happy with that and that's it, and I'm not a blue nose.

Let me pick that straw man argument to pieces.
Bielsa literally had nowhere left to go after completely destroying his reputation. He gets praised for his sportsmanship for that one moment against us when he really didn't have a choice, especially after the derby incident. If they are so ambitious why are they linked with exactly the same players as us?
Nuno was unheard of at the time and they've spent more than us on the Portuguese national team thanks to Redknapp tactics. Good manager but equally narrow minded as Smith which has cost them as much as it has gained them.
Ancelotti is the only one I'd consider ambitious but Everton are playing Football Manager. They have tried spending the GDP of a small country on anyone who is a big name or has had a good season and throwing them together. Ancelotti has managed pretty much every big team in the world before now and proves each time that he's great at steadying a ship but not really progressing past that.
