It’s 2am and I don’t know if it made the news back home, but we were rudely awoken by a severe earthquake alert at midnight which terrified the crap out of everyone, though we didn’t feel any tremors. My lady and I searched online for news and contacted the hotel reception. Apparently it was reported as being a lot higher on the scale than it really was and it was off the coast a little away from the city. All seems to be well. It's fine, I felt it in Thailand too. It was just Steve Bruce being removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'd have gone for Rodgers but I feel that he is a totally unrealistic option so I've gone for Flores on the basis that he is gettable. (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted October 3, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2018 How about Steve Bruce as your next manager? You'd have to get past his Birmingham connection, but he has 4 promotions from the Championship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just now, romavillan said: They would still TRY to play the same way according to the vision of the sporting directors, the head coaches job is to train the players so they actually CAN play that way. Just the sort of thing we need right? Seeing as we've totally cleared out all teh football side of the club I'd imagine the sporting director/DOF position would be wanting to implement a "Villa way" just as Brentford have the "Brentford way". I'd imagine a talented young head coach would fit right in. Your right the head coaches would train the players so that they can play to that style ... BUT the biggest point is that their coaches are not going to leave with Dean Smith. Brentford have a continuity process, Dean Smith is disposable and one of Brentford's assistant coaches would be promoted as head coach. Which is why i am skeptical of Dean Smith. Dean Smith would not get Villa promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeAVFC Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 46 minutes ago, Reivax_Villa said: I also think that our owners are envious of wolves and their methods that got them promoted. I cannot see our next manager being from the same league. I also cannot see them appointing someone fairly new into management. They are going to try to entice a high quality manager to come here with the help of Jorge Mendes. This. As I said the other week, I think they'll be looking for a highly ambitious appointment from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Andre Villas-Boas 33/1 currently in odds or Paulo Fonseca 25/1 current odds Both Mendes clients and Mendes is rumoured to be involved in the selection process. His other client Costinha could be another. Edited October 3, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bring in Dean Smith he will fail miserably . As opposed to the guy who gauranteed success due to getting promoted four times previously. Its not always the pedigree, it’s getting the right fit (Nuno?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Surely, if that mini cash injection the other day was to pay off the staff, they were preparing to sack Bruce and therefore have someone lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
