 It's February which means it's coming up to crunch time for clubs wanting to claim those precious 2-4 spots behind arsenal at the end of the season. John Terry has announced that he's moving on to pastures new at the end of the season where he can be paid 300k/week and racism all he likes in china or the UAE. Manuel Pelligrini announced his own sacking at a press conference which was abit weird but the only transfer worth talking about has been announced. The skinny tied one is taking the huge gamble of managing a team with the most money and strongest squad in it's league for the third time in a row, wow what a challenge. With stoke being a team of foreign fancy dans now he'll have to prove that one of his teams could do it on a wet wednesday at the britannia.

Pellegrini is a cool dude but everyone knew this was coming since they found Mansour's PSN and he played Barca nonstop on FIFA.

Steven Fletcher going to Marseille is weird. Is anyone besides Defoe scoring enough to fill the void?

I think City have been pretty patient with their managers really. It's pretty rough sacking old Manuel but if Pep is available I think they had to do it- doubly so because two of their biggest rivals for the league need a new manager. Will be very interesting to see what United and Chelsea do now. Jose to United and Simeone to Chelsea are perfect fits tbh and would make the league a very interesting place. I hope United do something stupid and give Giggs the job and Chelsea hire Hughes.

Now klopp's been found out, I can't wait for Pep to be declared a foreign myth in nine month's time. It's going to be a fun summer transfer window with the Euros and all the manager changes.

Man City are in the tile hunt and all, but I wonder how the mood at the club is. Playing for a dude who is on the way out/auditioning for the new guy and trying to win the title cant be easy. its all coming up Leicester e: Pellegrini has now been sacked for Jose and Pep.

I mean getting relegated would undoubtedly be a bad thing but if it meant Lerner sold up to an owner that cared about the club and got rid of the high earners that don't contribute then long term maybe it would be for the best.

All of the Villa supporters groups I'm a part of on facebook are melting down the nth degree it's loving pathetic. We were down 8 weeks ago, why bother signing someone that'll insist on a relegation release clause?quote:Well, I'm going to our high school basketball game tonight, and I'm wearing my Villa shirt. The soccer boys and international students will have a go at me, but I don't care. I'm disgusted by Lerner and his cronies, but always proud to be a Villan. quote:Completely and utterly disgusted at the moment. Remi Garde deserves better than what the hierarchy at the Villa have done this transfer window which seems to be screwing him the team and us supporters over. No signings really is an absolute disgrace even if they are resigned to us going down they could've brought players that will get us straight back up. quote:Don't even know what to say right now....Disgusted nothing happened during the transfer period. Nothing. quote:As a life long Villa Fan of over 25+ years I am absolutely disgusted in what is happening to my club, these last few years have been torture, to see what the Owner, Chairman and Board are doing or lack of plus the pathetic public belief that any of them have of staying up with comments to the media is a disgrace! Bottom of the league and not one sign of any player being brought in! Championship sides spending millions of pounds to secure promotion to the Premier next season due to the Mega TV Deal in place that will secure each club 100's of millions and our lack of not 1 yes 1 signing of any real ambition is for me a true and utter disgrace and very poor management of such a great club that I have loved for years. straight up brolic fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Feb 2, 2016 |

You can buy now for next year in the Championship. Villa still have pulling power given the league they're in- next year won't be as easy.

DOOP posted:Man City are in the tile hunt and all, but I wonder how the mood at the club is. Playing for a dude who is on the way out/auditioning for the new guy and trying to win the title cant be easy. City extended his contract last summer. There's been speculation since then on city forums that it was because of Pep coming. Essentially it gave him a payoff he otherwise wouldn't get and stopped the media speculation back in the summer. The club's been pretty open about a strategy of changing managers every 3-4 years. I think he, and the club, have handled it pretty well and as he wants to stay in Europe (please not Chelsea), I think he'll have a lot of clubs lining up for him now. Bonus point being all the journalists reporting Pep to United in the past few weeks look like the clickbait wasters they are. If we crash out of everything in Feb then the announcement will get blamed, but given it's City and we can still fall apart on the pitch at a moment's notice so I don't think it'll have much to do with it.

I don't watch any Championship matches. Are the players that Aston Villa would be able to keep good enough to win promotion next season? From what I've read, even the lower leagues have been spending more on players than Villa has to claw their way up.

Championship teams are mostly overspending on a limited pool of players that do well in that league but aren't good enough to make a step up.
