Let’s give Henry a fair shake, he could go far here. Using the inexperienced Sherwood as an example is not way to convince people we should hire Henry. Lol. He was dreadful. And he had actually manages before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has so many benefits if he took charge not sure why “onefortheroad” can’t see that. Just because Bruce didn't work out it doesn't mean that we should avoid people with managerial experience of this very tough league. Coaching badges and managing in the Championship are not even close to being the same thing. I also didn't say the badges don't count for anything. Show me where I said that or did you just make up a straw man argument? I also haven't said anywhere that he will be a bad manager. I am saying that I don't want him as I think it's far too much of a gamble at this stage. Give the that he is a complete novice to actually managing a team in ANY league never mind the Championship So why not listen to my actual point instead of making stuff up?

I absolutely agree and to be honest I wouldn’t put much money on either. I just think it is a risk worth taking and I don’t see any other candidates being significantly less of a risk. The big thing for me is that both TH and JT have the determination and self belief that they will be a success. Their past careers being the evidence.

midian Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) If it is to be Henry surely Villa would like it done asap as Belgium have a game Friday and a game Tuesday and wouldnt want to disrupt there prep for the game and also if Henry stayed with the Belgium team till after Tuesday he wouldnt have much prep for Villa?If its going to happen I would guess today or tomorrow?

John Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So it seems our new overlords have raised the profile of our club to the extent that the Henry/Terry dream team or failing that the likes of Rodgers and Martinez may be Bruce's replacement. One or more of these may ultimately withdraw from consideration but if so, there are others that would want the job that would be well qualified for it. It's great that we are now able to select from the best where not so long ago we were struggling to attract one of the rest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Its all gone rather quiet, same stories are just being regurgitated now. Not even any ITK malarky !!! The one constant over the last few days is the bookies pricing up Henry as odds on fav. I guess the lack of real news coming out of VP can be seen as a good thing with no leaks etc but i was hoping it would have all been signed and sealed by now whoever it is. Strikes me there was no plan in place behind the scenes for Bruce being sacked. Its not beyond the realms that come the Swansea game we will still have KMc still in as caretaker.

KenjiOgiwara Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 We need someone competent and hungry. I suspect it's more likely Henry will tick those boxes than Rodgers or a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that his test and results haven't shown that he has the right qualifications and is more than capable to handle the task. He has no actual managerial experience. That's the absolute minimum we should be looking for at this stage. This situation has the potential to go so wrong if we don't go up this year and we need to take it seriously. Its not the time for a wild experiment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say things like that even in jest! I would guess that Henry will leave Belgium at the weekend or after their game on Tuesday to be here when the bulk of our squad have returned from international duty.
