And they were loving woeful against Chelsea

That's insane. Dean Smith has done much better than Villa should have expected and they sold the heart of the team

Well boro apparently just let Warnock go, wonder if you'd get better odds on him or Big Sam getting the Norwich job?

Villa got a good price for Grealish and just reinvested the money badly. It takes a lot for a manager to survive a 5 match losing streak, especially when they would have been aiming too half. And they got beat by Nuno's spurs.

RIP Deano. Gave me some of the best memories I have as a Villa fan but his limits were becoming painfully clear and I didn't see us improving on 11th, which is pretty poor considering the money we've spent. Very interested to see who we get in. I think it'll be Nuno. I hope it's not.

I imagine if Nuno takes another job he stops getting Spurs money, so I doubt it will be him unless you’re offering a lot.

I don't know who either Norwich or Villa will get in, but I would enjoy a sacked manager mixup ending with Farke at Villa and Smith at Norwich

McFlurry Fan #1 posted:Villa got a good price for Grealish and just reinvested the money badly. Young aside, not sure their purchases this summer are actually bad, just that the best one, and the one actually intended to somewhat replace Grealish has been injured. They really miss Konsa, by far their best defender, inexplicably overlooked in favour of Mings by England.

Villa have spent an absolute fortune since promotion (and before). 10 points after 11 games is poor. They know they're hosed if they go down.

We've lost the most games out of any team in the premier league this calendar year, and got 39 points from the previous 36 games. It's not a kneejerk reaction to losing 5 in a row, he's been underperforming for a while now. He was always clueless whenever Grealish was out injured and that's just shown even moreso since he went to Man City. I was hoping the replacements would have settled in a lot faster than they have but eh. Current bookies favourite is Stevie G.

honestly i've wanted solskjær to do well partially because of nationalist fervour and partially to spite the hideous goblins that make up the english football commentariat, but if he's not going to do well i think they ought to sack him ASAP so i can go back to being happy about man utd. eating poo poo

He’s like the 2016 Joe Hart version of a striker. Immensely talented at what he does but at the moment his skill set is incompatible with current cutting edge tactics.

In reality they should have kept Schmeichel.
