Bristol Oil Services Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 If not Howe, then Hughton. If not Hughton, then stick with Lee until the end of the season and see where we are in the summer (bit long-winded, this one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'd imagine Eddie doesn't want for "box entries," though, thinking about it) Have I missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that pedigree that appeals to me as a potential future manager for us. Or maybe we should go for someone that's done average at Oldham and Barnsley again....... You did say he didn't overspend, which he blatantly did. Would be like a club say us paying players 60k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to have a better balance under Frank than Smith though, yet still great footballing sides...Smith's sides are goal-filled- at both ends though! Long may Aston Villa lose though!! So you want a Thomas Frank? :laugh: If it isn't Cockney rhyming, it should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm sure 99% of real City fans who go to games agree with Badger 08 but this forum is for 'all sorts' including people who do fantasy football etc. It also attracts people who only get thrills from being cricital of our players, fans, manager etc so i strongly suggest Badger takes a chill pill and does what 18000, 19,000 whatever City fans do and just walk away from OTiB, leaving it to those other groups mentioned. Oh by the way I'd like Howe, Hughton, Klopp and all of them to come to Ashton Gate - we want all the fans we can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I suspect some on here will strongly disagree with me but I am not convinced Dean Smith’s record prior to Villa is much different to Johnson’s. He got some decent results at an unfancied League One club without threatening to get them promoted and then got a job at an unfancied Championship club and tended to shape towards promotion mid-season only to fall short of the play-offs. He then obviously got the Villa job and got one of the most well resourced teams in the division with probably the strongest squad in the division promoted, which was impressive given where they were when he took over but less so given what he had to work with. And the reality is we are not one of the most well resourced teams in the division and we do not have the strongest squad in the division so the job he did here would likely be more comparable to the jobs he did at Walsall and Brentford. I am not having a go at him - he is a very decent manager - but, whilst we might play better football under him than LJ, I see nothing in his time at comparable clubs that suggests our results would be significantly different.
