What a result from managerless Villa today.
Yeah it's interesting that often the caretaker gets an upturn in results. Would be interested to know if it comes from the managers style being gone or the players wanting to prove to everyone they're not as bad as has been shown. Do the managers who have been sacked think why couldn't you have done that for me. I guess it's different each time but as I say it often happens what as soon as the manager is sacked they get some good results. This can often lead to the caretaker getting hired then sacked for someone proven when results drop off.
