This is why I am behind the current way of doing transfers. Needs tweaking.

Deffo need to focus on a bit of experience to compliment the youngens. Dodds suggested the higher ups are aware of this also in a recent press conference iirc

You mean like Moyes who brought in ex- Man Utd and ex Everton players. No wonder he walked away after signing all that crap but we were left with them probably on decent contracts

Burstow looks poor. They’re all kids apart from Rusyn iirc.Some already look good enough for top half championship football, some may take a year or two. Some possibly won’t make it.
Imagine a manager had signed this lot, would he be peddled ? i think so.
Bishop
Triantis
Seelt
Hjelde
Styles
Pembele
Mundle

Dack
Mayenda
Rusyn
Hemir
Burstow
The owners are working to a time scale whether we like it or not. Looking at the list on the owners terms there’s nowt to sack a manager with there. Yet.

Mayenda can barely get on the bench at Hibs, so not looking good for him really

It’s one thing appointing an alleged good manager/coach, it’s a completely different situation giving him decent tools to work with.

I'm sure Steven Gerrard would have got Villa in to the top 4 if they just gave him time.
Not a lot of people realise this, but Alex Ferguson almost got sacked early on in his Manchester United career and look what happened there.
I've a feeling Villa might regret sacking Gerrard as they may have missed out on the next Alex Ferguson.

We shoulda kept Beale then on that rationale. Ferguson will have benefitted from teams giving managers longer to come good back in the day but that’s not a luxury they can afford in the modern game with so much money at stake and social media criticism if they aren’t seen to be proactive when the manager isn’t performing

We should just keep any old manager who does shite. They'll all end up as the second coming of Alex Ferguson if given enough time, according to many.

Precisely. A manager should have a say of course but you can't give them free reign on everything.
I thought everyone knew how close Ferguson was to getting the sack?! Or is it an age thing?

I was taking the piss mate, it seems to have been brought up to defend every shite manager that was about to get sacked for the last thirty years.

I think the model where the coach has a huge if not total input into who we sign and get rid off is the way to go with the caveat that they have to work within the budget of the club...... buying players just because they might make a profit down the line without an eye on the needs of the team/squad will lead to footballing disaster if not a fiscal one!

Yeah agreed, he has a vision and I think as big a thing for Villa and Emery is them having Monchi as Director of Football. What they did in Sevilla is being replicated and bettered now. It was a fantastic appointment by them.

Managers will always look into the short term
Why would a manager be looking at players for 3-4 years time. Why would a manager be caring about a clubs finances in 3-4 yrs time?most managers
The average manager over all 4 divisions lasts 11 months .
Managers don't look at long term and that's why it's ludicrous that managers have autonomy in transfers
That's the football and fiscal disaster

Out of all the managers we’ve had, you’d have thought moyes would have been the one you could have trusted to do that. He’d had good success previously been trusted to build with full control but he shit himself and rebuilt the team with people he knew regardless of how bad a fit they might have been

He also seemed to just discard all of Allardyces January signings that had ended the season so well.

Sack him after 10 months and round we go again with all new players and backroom staff.
Priceless.
