People thought Bruce was a non-risk appointment. Turned out differently. Well, no, it didn't. I don't think many will say Bruce achieved what we would have wanted BUT we are two points off the playoffs and seven off first place. So that's kind of non-risk. A risky one that goes wrong, we have ten points less right now and are looking at League 1. Don't think it can't happen. I actually have faith they will get someone good in and this isn't even a comment on Henry, but sometimes I think we forget it can always get a lot worse!

villa4europe Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 my biggest reservation about rodgers is these hoes aint loyal, he will get back in to the top 6 before we will, promotion followed by a half decent season in the PL and you can wave him goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, I want a modern forward thinking coach, who is tactically switched on, adaptable and attack minded.

Popular Post sidcow Posted October 3, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2018 You know what. Promotion is obviously the target but for me I am just looking forward to: 1) No more eye bleeding dull football. 2) No more pulling everyone back for corners. 3) Retaining possession from our own throw ins Just that will make me halfway happy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Dean Smith in, from nowhere after the Bruce news, to favourite with most bookies. Henry drifting longer. Allardyce just lazy guesswork from bookies and journos. C’mon Deano! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I've gone Thierry Henry, A punt of course as he's not managed before and i voted for him only if he was supported (Which surely he would be even if it was "behind the scenes") by Wenger. Tactically he sees things many miss as i would expect from being in the "World superstar" bracket. The top people in any walk of life tend to get to the top because they have that extra effort and attention to details which others often don't even know exist. If he could come in and transmit that to the players then it could work. With our squad it's clear that we need someone with a crystal clear game plan and a great tactical knowledge. If we can add that to the undoubted quality players we have things will surely improve. We are not that badly placed despite the dire results being only 2 points adrfit of playoffs and with all the big boys still to play that means we have a good chance of catching them if we can sort things out quickly. My only concern is as he would likely see us as a mere stepping stone however but then isn't everything in life temporary?! Not sure about Dean Smith although i like he's a Villa man. As for the others, Terry would be interesting and may just be the man to pull us together....Player manager anyone? Only trouble is he is just way too Chelsea orientated and would be off as soon as they came calling.. but i guess that means he would have done well here so... As for the others? Allardyce? No Flores? Unsure Rodgers? Too arrogant McCarthy? Please no.. Bruce mk11 Billic? Too West Ham and simply no connection here Other than that it'd be Interesting to see who Mendes would come up with of course Edited October 3, 2018 by danceoftheshamen punctuation error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I love these new manager threads. It gives us a few days or weeks when we can have pie in the sky dreams that our next manager will be the new Pep Guardiola before reality sets in after the appointment has been made and we realise we have the next Alex McLeish. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime we sack a manager or are getting a new owner, people on VillaTalk always say "well ANYONE is better than Lerner/Lambert/McLeish etc" And usually, the next person we get IS worse. I'm glad Bruce is gone. But there are a LOT of managers we could get who could be worse. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
