Aston Villa

sorry, to Villa fans, for popping this up, but I had a bit of a arguement with someone, alcohol fueled admittedly, but I said that if I was a manager in the Prem I'd assemble a team of players from the UK ONLY and try and keep them in the Prem. Using Patiotism, as part, of my driving force. It may also, over a period of time, bring in some support from neutrals.
I was shot down in flames, but I stand by this, and would love it if someone had the balls to do it !!!!!!

Trouble with that scenario is that the team would be full of Welsh,Scots and Irish.:rofl:

In Wales, Scotland and Ireland.:D

Mind I do remember a time when many of the better players in the English League were from the other Home Countries. Not likely to be the case again in the foreseeable future I'm afraid.

That would make you a candidate for the shortest lasting Manager ever!
 
Not a restriction. You cannot be made to have certain players in your team.
I'd buy the clubs shirt to show my support immediately !!!! So there would be £50 put into their battle chest.

You'd need some war chest to buy the likes of Rooney,Ramsey,Bale,Cahill & Hart.
Could you really make a full squad of top players from the Uk?

Probably, but you'd need to avoid Scottish and Northern Irish players to do so. It would be more of an English Welsh endeavour. :)

Ahh but there's the thing. Would you really need a "full squad of top players"? Just a few "top players" a few up and coming young lads. A few top players from the Championship. Blend 'em together. Job done.

A side full of stars does not a team make.

You can use that if you like. :D

Sorry but the mix you suggest would be automatic candidates for relegation.
 
Dumped their manager for Tim Sherwood and escaped relegation because Hull City were rubbish. I just do not know what these piddling little teams think they are going to achieve in the Prem. Tim Sherwood, as far a I care, didn't do much at Tottingham City and certainly will do even less at Villa. And whilst I'm on, just what have Norwich got to celebrate? A season of checking the fixtures to see where the next win MAY come from. As well as watching their friends at Ipswich stomp the Championship.

Is it worth it?


Cough cough ! I've got sympathy for Villa though. At least they tried a British person. He'll be gone soon, with BIG SAM waiting in the wings !!!!!!

(PS Just the Villa bit) :mmm:
 
No one deserves that. Maybe Brenda is next in line there? Actually, stick with Tim until Christmas and see where you stand then. I think both he and Mclaren at Newcastle need time to bed their players in. Whether they get it is another matter but at both clubs the problems are deeper than the managers they have. Sherwood in particular has a poor squad after years of neglect.
 
Well, cough, I got that right. Too late to grab Big Sam, he's got his, and Sunderlands season going with a great win over Newcastle.

PS McClaren is useless also, took over a great young squad at Derby and should have got them up but messed that up. It would not surprise me in the least if he was next. The money is EVERYTHING !!!! Drop down and there area host of teams that are well organised scrapping to come up. It's not an easy place to drop down in to.
I'd love Mick Mac to get Ipswich up. He makes great telly !!!
