Gary Thomas Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 12 minutes ago, TRO said: He seems to have the drive and energy that this job requires and I think we are in danger of losing him, if we haven't already. I have never known such indecisiveness to appoint a manager....I fear its an opportunity lost. For all we know the deal could be done behind the scenes - lets wait and see. Hope it's this week for the sake of this thread!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney_avfc Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Didn't Percy say that Moyes was NOT offered the job. He ruled himself out of the running. RDM was interviewed, Pearson and Moyes. Why are there reports Pearson will pull out as he's not first choice? You go for a job interview, several people are interviewed, the boss takes some time to make a decision on the best candidate and in the meantime 1 of the candidates pulls out. Still a 2 horse race imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 11 minutes ago, Butterfingers said: I wouldn't call it indecisiveness. Someone has actually been offered the job and turned us down-Maybe that person ought to have been a bit more forthcoming at his interview? If he'd have mentioned that he didn't want to rush into anything, then I doubt he'd have been offered the job. I personally have Pearson down as my choice to take over, way ahead of RDM who represents more of a risk. I would hope that the board/prospective board have already spoken with Pearson again (if that's who they now want) but wasn't it always the case that the new manager wouldn't be announced immediately? If it is Pearson, then it could be done quicker as he would be number 1 choice of both regimes. Perhaps my frustration is getting the better of me.....I just feel sure he is the right man for the right moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be too many cooks. Every where you look there is advisers but they can't make a decision.....just about everyone in football( pundits) who have commented on our plight has mentioned Nigel Pearson that fits the bill.....are they all wrong or ill informed or have poor judgement? We don't need champagne players and champagne football , ( that can come much later).....We need a resilient outfit of characters who can galvanise the talented lads like Grealish and others and fight our way out of this mess.....We need someone who can recreate a Ron Saunders type scenario.....Nigel is that man. Are they all dumb? This is getting a farce and I fear for this football club. Sorry TRO, but I don't know why you keep saying we have to go back to what worked in the 80s? And yes I do generally think most people in the media don't know what they are talking about most of the time, especially about the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was once told by Brian Little that clubs sound out players in order to not be seen to be rejected as it can be damaging. In the same parallel managers could do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I can't stand this any longer! every 5 mins I'm checking the Internet for news on a new manager, it's becoming an addiction, an obsession! I'm seriously considering a total ban on Villa related Internet news, for a whole week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd rather have the right guy in a month late, than the wrong manager rushed in. Managers aren't that important. Mostly they're pretty interchangeable. It's more important to get cracking on the rebuild at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villafan306 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 11 is Banfill, I believe this is Jamie Banfill who has been mentioned in the media today. He is an associate of Samuelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
