Guest av1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'm going to hazard a guess that this "breakthrough" news will be along the lines of: 'Villa set to announce that RDM will become the new manager some time in the next few days' This journalism lark is easy.

Qwpzxjor1 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'd be surprised if we got a name. I wouldn't be at all shocked if the 'update' is just 'talks ongoing but positive'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calcifer Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Benitez also signed for a Premier League club. Also, the mentioned candidates are Premier League managers, RDM is a Premier League Manager, Chamipnship manage, and Champions League Manager (no point in debating that one, been done to death) Benitez decided to stay tho, he could have gone thinking the Championship was beneath him, but he has stayed. Im not disputing RDM credentials. He is my preferred choice. I have just had enough of people ( mostly at work) that Villa should be grateful for any manager showing an interest because the fans are on the managers back after a bad result. What makes Newcastle so big? Anyway let's hope this does not draw on much longer, its going to be a tough job as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not disputing RDM credentials. He is my preferred choice. How many options did Benitez realistically have? Furthermore, he will be wanting to rectify the relegation, and his image by getting them promoted. I am sure he is also receiving a pretty penny.

[ EXCLUSIVE ] http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-manager-latest-update-11391988 Quote Roberto Di Matteo is close to becoming the new Aston Villa boss after holding talks with chairman Steve Hollis today. Discussions are said to have gone well and the Italian is expected to be offered the job in the coming days. ADVERTISING Hollis hoped to appoint a new manager before the end of the week and while that is now unlikely to happen, there are thought to be only a few minor details left to sort out. It means that Di Matteo, who has the full backing of owner-in-waiting Tony Xia, could be officially named as Villa boss within the next 72 hours Edited May 26, 2016 by Rodders 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic My mind is made up. The club is in a sorry state, hence me liking that post. And its because of that sorry state that we are not going to attract the names you mention. And before you bring up Benitez, that is a completely different scenario. Benitez agreed to manage a premier league club, protecting himself with a get out clause should they go down. As it is, Ashley has probably offered him a kings ransom, he probably feels he can bring them straight back and he claims to be feeling the love of the Newcastle public. A totally different situation to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Positive of RDM is that he may be able to attract higher calibre of players given his connections. Maybe get in some Chelsea loans. Wouldn't mind some snazzy German players either Edited May 26, 2016 by supermon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
