still think van Gaal would be better at that after what he did at Ajax.
I agree Rijkaard is good, everyone says he bombed in Turkey but he only lost 11 games with Galatasary and had a 60% win ratio
I wouldnt mind that one bit 8)
Can you explain what the hell Owen Coyle has ever done apart from get Burnley promoted ????
My exact thoughts. Why do people seem to love Owen Coyle but have utter disdain for any prospect of Hughes or Martinez (ok the latter has obviously said no) taking over? Coyle did well at Burnley of course and hasn't done badly at Bolton (though his achievements have been overplayed when you look at their final league position), but look what Hughes did at Blackburn.
Give him a break, he'd be a good appointment on so many levels:
- Experience playing and managing at this level.
- Getting the best out of players that look like lost-causes (Ireland a prime example, even Sidwell).
- Stability: wherever he has gone he has built and improved season upon season.
Everybody seems to forget how Bolton completly bombed down the table and got spanked in the semi final
Got Boring bolton playing some good football???
Plus if you going on trophies what has half of that list done
The same Bolton that he got up to 6th and then who bombed in the second half of the season losing 7 of the last 9 games and getting whacked for 5 in the cup semi final??
No thanks
Yes please... Think it should be between...
Raneri
Van Gal
Rijkaard
Not necessarily in that order.
Could not agree more
in order 1) van Gaal 2) Rijkaard 3) Ranieri
Another disaster waiting to happen
The tinkerman would not last 5 mins. Our squad is way too small to make 8 changes every week.
Im not even sure we will have 8 players by the end of the month
Realistcally we should have only sent one letter out and that should have been to Moyes.
I wouldnt bother with any of the others and obviously you wouldnt bother writing to any of the top six
He needs a haircut now too.
Nah its fine, you'd never get tired of laughing at it
Best coach in the world at the moment along with SAF and Jose. And unemployed
Maybe we could entice him with some sort of hair product endorsement!
It might work a bit better than sending a letter
He needs a haircut now too.
I've just realised that he looks like love child of Steve Bruce and Alex Ferguson.
:shock:
That shouldn't rule him out or should it :?

Yup AVFC are in debt, somewhere around £200 million I believe.
The debt is owed to "The Lerner Familly Trust Fund"
I wonder who sits on the board of that then?
Doug
Im totally baffled as to what his qualities were to be held in such high regard if I'm honest???
Christ on a bike!!!! Who makes these manger short lists at Villa Park. I agree with the bit that he is young but that is the only part I agree with
There are plenty of good mangers out there.....
Hitzfeld, van Gaal, Ranieri, Rijkaard, van Basten to name a few.
Then there is Hughes, Pellegrini, McClaren (god forbid).
We will probably end up with the Gmac Kmac combination lol
Why, because its not the manager YOU want?
No, I would say it's because he is a poor candidate and if thats our intent then the club is going backwards
Which supporters are you supposedly speaking on behalf of? You don't speak for me, and from the comments on this forum it seems you don't speak for the majority of others either...
The Browns fans as well who are disgruntled with Lerner.
You speak on behalf of the Browns fans?????
The Browns fans hate him with a passion. They wanted rid of him last season, oddly enough they are critical of his decision making when it comes to appointing head coaches.
