DirtySanchez Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Just thought I would put things in perspective with the tens of millions that club has spent, supposedly top, big name manager - not the cheap option to get him - and where does it get you.

glynriley Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Villa have been a basket case for a good few years. Will probably take more than 4 months to sort them out. And weren't they below us when Bruce took over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'd take SB here in a heart beat, a few months doesn't mean a lot, especially for a team that's in such a mess they were relegated from the Prem (so only 25 years, sorry finbarr_in_z) for the first time ever.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 No guarantees whatever, whoever. Pearson at Derby, far from good. Big Sam at Palace currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would give SB "a few months" on massive budget - but does that mean LJ gets less/more on a smaller budget? LJ been here a year; two half seasons...one half - kept us up, this season - great start, poor run, now seems to be improving again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were there for two seasons but still kept their fanbase. The first season in Div 3 sometimes saw crowds of 35,000 at Villa Park. If one of the London, Merseyside or Manchester "giants" was relegated, I reckon their attendance (and shirt sales) would plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City got huge crowds in div 3 not so long ago...they averaged around 30k at home, they even failed to beat the gas in two attempts that season! And when we did the double over Man Utd in the second div in the early seventies they had ridiculously big crowds, home and away. No reason to think that would change now...

Yet it means a lot if the manager happens not to be a 'big name'? While 'with the money he has spent and the squad he has he ought to be doing much better' applies to LJ but not Bruce?

Yup much more spent than us(a lot spent before he got there tho tbf) and only 4 points ahead of us in the table. Big names do not guarantee anything. Though I would get the argument for him. I'd have taken Garry Monk and many thought he may be a bit overrated but has done well at Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its sometimes better for crowds when you are winning in a lower division, rather than getting battered every week in a division you are not quiet good enough for.

MarkRed! Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Aston Villa are in trouble I think they have lost 5 of there last 6 and they are only 4 points ahead of us. Bruce will be under pressure because they have spent 60 million +. Will be interesting to see what happens when we play them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
