2021/22 Frank Lampard

[Fansince1988]

So if we got Sam in and got relegated would you get rid of him or stick with him ?
I doubt he would even stick around in the championship I would rather have a young hungry manager who is young enough to learn and grow with us.

I’d hirer him on a short term deal, I’d offer him a really good wage un till the summer and if he saved us give him a big bonus as it would be worth it. Then re visit the situation then.

Big Sam would LOVE another 8million to add to his kitty.

 

[Fansince1988]

Its unlikely it will be.

I agree if we stick with Frank, I don’t mind him but he seems clueless in a relegation fight.

Exactly it would be a small fee to pay to stay up.

I mean you might have me wrong.

I think we wont sack Frank and will go down.

Just to make that clear.

Agree with what you are saying broadly but its all if's but's and maybe's if Benitez was still here. There is a very good chance that irrespective of whomever was manager the nosedive in form Oct - Jan might have been too steep to recover from.

We absolutely have average players, some not even that and their ability and ego are not aligned. Think in Digne's case he was good enough but wasn't prepared to sacrifice for the team, but maybe not so easy to sacrifice when the results don't match the intention. A pity how it played out really because we would have been better off with him in the team over the last couple of months.

Maybe, but Digne has not exactly convinced in Villa. He has been on a downward curve for a long time.

Anyone who is still mentioning Big Sam in 2022 is extraordinarily tedious

Find a new name for goodness sake. Show some originality.

 

[Fansince1988]

Yes we can, and you’d still be wrong

Did I read somewhere you wanted Benitez back, I’m sure it was you.

I mean there isnt another name.

Hes the only name.

You sack a manager with 9 games to go and in a relegation battle, who else is there?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Maybe, but Digne has not exactly convinced in Villa. He has been on a downward curve for a long time.

Yes but you only sell if you can get someone as good. We replaced him with someone far worse

There are plenty of other managers. People just haven't heard of them and think constantly bringing up Big Sam makes it sound like they are footballing experts

 

[Fansince1988]

I’m getting knocked for mentioning Big Sam, but it’s highly possible Frank could be sacked very soon and I don’t think I’ve seen one name mention as a replacement, other than me mentioning Big Sam. I think Your all scared to put names in case of a backlash.

 

[Egil Olsen]

Yes but you only sell if you can get someone as good. We replaced him with someone far worse

We sold because he did not want to play for Benitez, and shortly afterwards we fired Benitez. Shocking.

[ToffeeTim]
