Sampson Posted 7 August 2020 Posted 7 August 2020 Superb assistant manager and coach. I reckon he'll have a huge positive impact on Villa.

Jaspa Posted 7 August 2020 Posted 7 August 2020 For all the great decisions we've made in recent times, making him full on gaffer was a huge mistake. I'm still mad about that Arsenal away game season opener, winning late second half he takes a midfielder off for Kelechi when we couldn't hold onto the ball anyway. Three mins later we've lost the game after being well in it. Anyway it's good to see him still going
MickeyMouse Posted 7 August 2020 Posted 7 August 2020 Aston Villa preparing for when they sack Smith.
brucey Posted 7 August 2020 Posted 7 August 2020 Apparently Shakey’s a villa fan Good luck to him, wouldn’t have minded him back here as assistant
Strokes Posted 7 August 2020 Posted 7 August 2020 Rate him highly, it was too big a job too soon as a manager here but I wouldn’t rule him out being a very successful manager in the future.

I think when they do eventually sack Dean Smith which i kind of think will happen at some point soon they will then appoint Nigel Pearson as manager with Shakespeare as no 2!! Watford`s loss is Villa`s gain !

No manager at any club lasts for ever. I am flabbergasted you could say that

We did the right thing in sacking Ranieri when we did and Shakey unleashed the dogs on Liverpool & Seville, but giving him a manager's contract into the next season was an error, it was obvious at the time.
MPH Posted 8 August 2020 Posted 8 August 2020 Very good move by Villa. They still need to sign some good players though. There’s only so much you can polish a turd...

LinekersLugs Posted 8 August 2020 Posted 8 August 2020 They signed Rob Mackenzie As well ! That’s a cracker of a signing , Rob will do amazing as their head of recruitment He is the man that brought Esteban Cambiasso, Heung-Min Son and Riyad Mahrez to the Premier League
mozartfox Posted 8 August 2020 Posted 8 August 2020 I am still trying to fathom out who brought Musa, Slimani, Silva, Ghezzel and Diabate to the Premier League.

Possibly might have, so hypothetically. It's not about rewarding staff either, if they've never been a manager or claimed to be why would an aspiring top club move to do make them so? In the interests of everyone to do with the club we should've made a better appointment, instead we wasted a summer on project Iborra, James & Adrien Silva and sacked the manager before the clocks went back.
