Average spell in China but who knows what he had to work with there and I know absolutely nothing about the game over there. He’s obviously a risk in some ways but there’s literally nobody who doesn’t have at least some risk attached. Agreed the more look into it the more gio seems a good fit for us. He won 3 trophies in Holland 1 league feyenoord first in 18 years and 2 Dutch cups. The China spell is a worry but like you said no manager comes risk free. Looked up to see what he played and his preference was a 4-3-3 normally, that would suit us. That's one of his 11s when he was at feyenoord.

We have the best squad in the league. A centre back and tightening up at the back and we’ll still win the league quite comfortably.

Nut, I’m no buying this Villa being a big club patter. Maybe years ago, not now! It’s like trying to claim Nottingham Forrest are still a big club! They’ve not won a trophy in about 25 years! They haven’t qualified for the group stages of Europe in about 15 years! They’ve hardly got a worldwide support! Take Villa out the Prem right now and they’re absolutely nothing!

Having chosen not to, we certainly don’t need to add to the squad when all we really need to do is win all our games against diddy teams for the rest of the season The offers just didn’t come in .Nobody would have been happy with 12m for Morelos .

McCann and Ferguson are two that jump out. I'd not be surprised if we end up with a full coaching staff of ex players who are all winners and know what we are about, if it's to be GVB. The bonus of hiring him and a backroom staff of ex players is every single one of them know what it's about up here.

When you go to China and it doesn’t work out, you don’t walk into a club like ours. we need someone to galvanise the club. A big personality Reading a few quotes from Gio he cited Covid difficulties disrupting things so wanted to return to see his family. At face value it doesn’t seem it was because he flopped. The team he was with were poor when he took over I think and just didn’t get the chance to turn them around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
