I was around when Villa were winning the League then European Cup so I always think of them as one of the "big" clubs.
Before they went down though they were utter dross for quite a while, entertainment-wise I don't think they've done anything for years worthy of note.
Now all we need is Forest back....

Why do we need a club back that has won twice the number of European cups than all of the London clubs have together?

:unsure:
 
Living in Leeds for 13 years when I first moved made me realise just how much passion there is in football over here. It’s like the Afrikaaners and rugby in South Africa.

I went to Elland Road a few times to watch them and the crowd was bonkers. I wouldn’t take a kid there to be honest because the abuse they hurled was unbelievable.

But despite going down and tumbling into the third tier the fans stuck with the team and they are a big team in a big city.

I think the Prem will be better with them there.
 
murmurs that Watford are going to replace Pearson for the last 2 games of the season, not sure a side will ever have had as many mangers in a season if thats true

If that is true Watford deserve to go down. They treat managers like nothing
 
West Ham had 12 managers in 14 years, people in glass houses and all that.......

So more years than managers? Which why go back 14 years why not go back further or does that suit your point

Watford have had 3 in one season soon to be 4

It's 13 managers since 1994 or 14 since 1990

Depending if you count when brooking took over whilst roeder was sick and then step down when he came back

2 of them were caretakers for a month until a full time manager was found

yeah why would i chose numbers that prove my point lol

so the lines 1 year per manager is ok, any more is too many is it? or does that just suit you criticising Watford but not your own club ;)

Sacking a manager more than once per season shows the problem isn't the manager .

3 full time managers in a season . Ignoring Mullins as caretaker isn't good

Has it even been done before?
 
Can't agree with it surely? You guys change your managers constantly

No one ever really given a chance to do well

The structure the owners brought in allows the regular hire and fire of head coaches (not managers) without undue upheaval at the club, despite what social media think. This structure has kept us in the Premier League for 5, and hopefully more, years. This year our lack of player investment in key areas has caught up with us though.

Do I agree with Pearson being sacked? No, not really.

It's ok though, we are not a proper club, so we will be out of everyone's hair soon. ?. Or maybe we will stick around and stuff another big club. ?

Sounds like our clubs both suffer from ideas above their stations

We keep trying to go for a "sexy" manager to case a pipe dream of European football. Rather than getting a stable steady manager (like we have with Moyes now) and build foundations of a club that can be then go for slow progress

We almost achieved it with bilic replacing big Sam. However we heavily depended on payet and didn't then invest in other areas

Once MP took over we spent tones to try and get back to where we were but damage was done

I'd like to see Moyes stay for 2 seasons at least to oversea a transition of just treading water to like a top 12, then top 8 finish before pushing the top 6 mayb one day with shrewd investment
