In truth however you are on a forum speculating with others and unless you are ITK your really have no idea how it is same way as the reat of is. Chill out a bit with the shouting down of people enjoying alittle hope. I am saying that it's highly unlikely we will sign a world class manager and I am being shouted down for it. As I have said now several times. Let's just see who we get. Edited October 5, 2018 by One For The Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not probably questioning the boards statement of intent - I was explaining that part to you from your last posts. I am doubting Steve Bruce will win the cabbage of the month award but I could be wrong. Enjoy your evening. I don't think we will sign any of those names you just mentioned. And just because someone has low expectations given the club's decline in recent years, it does not mean they would not be elated if something amazing happened. I want the best for the club but my expectations have been flattened in the last 4 years or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenger as DoF only* Fwiw, I don't think Wenger would be our next manager when there are other younger and hungrier managers ready to emerge.. your Henry's & Arteta's etc. It would make sense of someone of Wengers' ilk to excel in a DoF capacity.

However he also said that he wanted his next job to be as a manager in his own right and to have a project of his own. Could be an interesting one, especially as other have said we are appointing a DOF. Portuguese too just to keep the Mendes theme alive. Would also tie in with Nixon’s comments earlier today and a north west connection too which is where Nixon is based so maybe something in it .

As I have said now several times. Let's just see who we get. Cool mate, absolutely - lets see what happens. I hoping for someone progressive thats all, happy to give Arteta or Henry a try but equally wouldnt be suprised if we end up with Moyes it seems the way it goes with Villa. Just enjoying the chance however slight that this might be that time we might find our Nuno or Pep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'd stick a tenner on Faria if I was a betting man. That's a very interesting option, Mendes connections too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if we do I will be as extatic as every Villa fan. I'm just going to understand that we are under some severe financial restrictions and I will get behind whoever we sign. Even if it turns out to be Moyes. The boards hands are somewhat tied on who we can approach it would seem but hopefully they can bring in the man they want. Whoever that may be.

To be fair I think that was in Bruce’s plans, it’s just Stage 1 was playing in every onfield position..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaBrum Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Cjay said: I quite like David Moyes. Cant really judge him on his Manchester United spell, 2 of the most successful managers of all time followed him and neither have really made a great success of it, following Ferguson was impossible. And, if he was good enough for Alex Ferguson to recommend? Cant really judge him on Sunderland either, they were in freefall. The job he did at Everton was brilliant, on a budget, he managed a 4th placed finish dont forget. He was named LMA Manager of the year 3 times, which is 2nd only to Alex Ferguson who won it 4 times. West Ham were in the relegation zone when he took over last season, a club in turmoil and at war with its own fanbase, he finished 13th, pretty decent really given the circumstances. His stock has definitely fallen since his Everton days, but wasnt that long ago most people would have said he was one of the best young managers in the country. COuld be a lot worse. Alex Ferguson recommended Alex McLeish for the AV job in 2011! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said now several times. Let's just see who we get. You're not being shouted down, just being accused of being a wet blanket. I usually agree with you on alot of things, but can't buy into repressing some hope for ambition. Deep down the majority of us do not feel we will be signing elite management or Players. However I have optimism that at the very least our appointments appointments will be closer to more creative upper echelons than they have been previously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate having some thoughtful input from other clubs. They're not trolling, there's not so many of them that we're losing focus on what we're talking about, their contributions have broadened the debate, and they've got a sense of humour. That's not to say we won't have others who are a pain, but the recent contributions have been good as far as I'm concerned. I should clarify that I agree, BUT I heard a cynical voice in my head and was amused. (I'll try to up my dose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 47 minutes ago, One For The Road said: We are not getting Arsene Wenger. Its baffling that anyone even thinks that we could for a even a nanosecond. It's baffling that anyone would deem it so impossible. We have not one but two of the richest owners in English football, one if which will know Arsene Wenger very well because he is very well connected at Arsenal. I would imagine Sawiris would be very very keen to get in Wenger and Henry, and if you are worth £8bn you tend to get what you want. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
