AlwaysAVFC Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 7 minutes ago, hippo said: Yeah that probably was me. But perhaps not for reasons you think. A season ticket is a major wedge of cash for me (I'm not a rich bloke !) - I would need to be enthused by the new manager to shell out that amount of cash. Sorry but RDM is a path weve trodden before , Houller, Garde,. I honestly don't see it being much different - so wouldn't renewing my tickets - thats not a bribe or a threat - I just don't think Id be getting my £500 worth !!! Naturally I will still follow the results, and hope RDM proves me wrong !!! It was someone else, who was doing it as more of a statement (well that's how it appeared). Of course money comes into it. If you think you aren't going to enjoy watching the football Villa would play then £500 is a lot to put down if you're not sure, which is fair enough. Personally I'd never like to presume someone is going to fail, even if they aren't on my list of favoured candidates. As I said I'll always have hope till it's obvious it's not going to happen.

I believe they thought Pearson. Sadly that review seems to have been totally ignored - and were getting a man in who to his credit has won the CL - but in totally different circumstances to what we find ourselves. I'd agree with this. If Little, Bernstein, King & Hollis all agree on a specific manager, i would be 100% in favour of hiring that manager, whoever it was. Bascially, i would trust them to have picked the best manager for our situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I wonder if someone they considered suddenly became available, and going back to interview them etc if the announcement/choosing the manager has been pushed back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They they mention somebody the sheep are flouting For a club in our position he would be ideal, proven track record in the championship and would get us up at first time of asking. In fact he is the standout candidate for me, is there a better manager that is currently available with as good a record as Warnock's in the championship?

The former Rangers and Scotland coach is the fourth manager to leave the club this season. Championship and premier league experience. Good record at his last club. Assistants are also available.

Jareth Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The mystery alternative to RDM? Surely it is Martinez, got promotion from League 1, has a strong backroom team ready to go, good at setting up the entire club's footballing ethos (Swansea) and, is available and most definitely looking for a new club. I'd be happy with either FWIW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
