He seriously should have stayed. If they keep it up he'd have won another title this season. 4 points clear. Premier league teams are always throwing out their managers. Theres no rush. Hes pissed off a fanbase that looked up to him and he was getting plenty of experience there. Oh well.

that would have been the sensible option from where most of us are sat... but we don't know what the owners have committed to or ambitions they have. If they are prepared to invest heavily in the squad, let him bring in McAllister and his backroom team, give him almost a free reign over signings, etc... to build Villa into a top 10, maybe top 8 club year after year... that's a pretty compelling reason to jump now and at this time. He might have missed his PL chance otherwise...Originally posted by vlahka View Post
But as you say, difficult one as he's alienated a good chunk of the Rangers fanbase now and left when they're in a close-run SPL season. He won't give two ****s if he can get Villa playing well and consistently with a bit of a war chest to boot. He will get a great reception at Anfield in December but after the warm applause... he's just going to be be another opposition manager for everyone in the ground. Him vs Benitez will be great to watch...

He was saying in the summer that he was staying at Rangers when there was speculation over his future so you have to imagine that there is something particular about what he has been offered at Villa that wasn't available at clubs with vacancies in the summer.Originally posted by Tribute View Postthat would have been the sensible option from where most of us are sat... but we don't know what the owners have committed to or ambitions they have.

What is the financial situation at Villa? they spent most of the Grealish money in the summer, are the owners prepared to chuck money at Gerrard? If so how come they didn't give it to Smith? January market isn't an easy time to buy.Originally posted by red g View PostThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

I dont know how FFP works for what its worth but they spent 100m on Bailey and Beundia in the summer, Ings and Watkins too recently.Originally posted by Exiled_red View Post
They are one of the richest owners in the PL, And apparently promised a big spend in JAnuary._____________________________________

They’re the 5th richest ownership in the league.Originally posted by Exiled_red View Post
They’re the 3rd highest net spenders in the PL since they came back up.
It’s not like they only started spending this summer because of the Grealish money.
Last year they sprang about £86m with only £2m or £3m incoming.
2019/20 they spent £136, again with only about £2/3m in sales.
In terms of spending power, Villa are a massive gig for anyone isn’t already coach at City or Newcastle.Last edited by Mark79; 11-11-21, 05:41 PM..

How many loans can Villa take from one club?

You can only have 2 premier league loan players, not sure if they can be from the same club, but they have that United Defender at the momentOriginally posted by Scratch View Post_____________________________________
