There are three ways for non-elite clubs to breach the top six. Get loads of money. Recruit brilliantly. Get a brilliant manager. Aston Villa have a chance with a Poch or a Tuchel. Not so much with Gerrard.
We’d love to see a Tuchel or a Pochettino have a crack at the Villa job. Elite boss + non-elite club=fun
Nobody else has managed to make it stick since. The Big Four became a Big Six and that’s still where we are. Newcastle have the best chance of joining a Big Seven, for obvious reasons, but at the moment are still attempting it with a decent coach, but a non-elite one. Brighton certainly seem to have become an even more xG-banter club in his absence, which raises the horrifying prospect that Potter was actually making that less dramatic than it would otherwise have been. The Forest game on Tuesday nightBut Potter is off being all elite at an established elite club now anyway, which was inevitable and deserved but is undoubtedly less fun.
Now sure, it all petered out into something a bit crap and because Everton couldn’t help being Everton they managed to end up 10th – the least interesting of all the finishing positions – and, when Zinedine Zidane decided to once again leave Real Madrid, Ancelotti was off and that was that.
The fans have turned and it does look like a matter of when not if. And Villa really do have the incentive to make that ‘when’ really very soon., along with Unai Emery who would be slightly less exciting but still fits the bill. They might well be tempted because Villa are, like Everton, the sort of fallen giant to stir the emotion and done right could be great.
