Hibsfan Posted October 5, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 5 minutes ago, LakotaDakota said: I know, I quite like Hawksbee & Jacobs but they tend to be more of a comedy show than anything serious, Just makes a change for most of them including muppets like Adrian Durham saying that amove to Villa in the championship would be a good move for someone with Rogers CV and current job rather than just crying because we sacked Bruce I'm having a wee laugh as there was a thread on hibs.net a while back about talksport and the consensus was exactly that. Hawksbee and Jacobs are good but the rest of them are clowns that just like to create controversy. Adrian Durham every night used to practically encourage pressure on managers by pointing out poor records, better alternatives etc..... then he'd turn round and say it was shocking they were getting put under pressure. I think Villa would be a good move for Rodgers as well though, he's achieved all he is likely to at Celtic and it's obviously not all great behind the scenes there (probably not helped by a certain John Mcginn), he's probably unlikely to get a Premiership job again as he's not Portuguese so a top end Championship club is likely to be his best route back into Premiership football. (I realise what i'm saying is similar to what Talksport were saying but i'm allowed to say that as i actually watch Scottish football) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cjay Posted October 5, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will state that I have an illogical love for Sherwood, and also add that I actually think RDM would have had us promoted in half the time as Bruce if he got the time and same backing as him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Moyes is nowhere near as bad as Bruce. Lets face it, he got utd job and has a better record than those who have came after whom had alot more cash. The reason why I and majority of Villa fans don’t want him is because of his dour football. For over 10 years we have had to endure terrible football. Is it not to much to ask to play some attacking attractive football. If we still get beat, at least it will be watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conspiracy theorist in me also wondered if we should even be taking the advice of Mendes seeing as he is pretty much tied to Wolves! Would be an easy inside hit job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Betting odds mean nothing to who will be the manager. They just respond to wild speculation and rumours to want people put money on. I also can't see Celtic letting Rodgers go to us even if they have having a bit of a quarrel. Not mid season. I would suspect that Rodgers would hope to get a prem job as well, perhaps somewhere like Southampton or Cardiff when they sack their managers in a few months.

Lerner's Driver Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The press are literally just randomly suggesting names now, but talk of Wilder from Sheffield is one just added to the list and my Utd mate would be gutted if he went. Forever waxing lyrical about what he's built with limited resources. Based on that and the tonking they gave us, I'd have to say I'd prefer him over media Muppet Thierry Henry any day.

Let’s face it the ceiling for them both would be mid table premier league and even that would be a massive achievement for Cardiff. With us he could be sold a long term project and assurances to be back considerably if get us back to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
