So just for the record, you think that being relegated with a team and continuing with them is exactly the same dynamic as leaving a club in the top division to manage a club a division below? You're right, it's not happening and it's a fairly pointless debate but I'd still like to know. Not arguing, move on. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 1 hour ago, sheepyvillian said: It really doesn't sound that far - fetched. What's the limit with dear old, Bournemouth ? He's achieved mid - table mediocrity, I can't see him exceeding that success. He might well see us as a poison chalice, or he might see the potential, ( rich, new, owners ) and challenge, in being able to take this club back to challenging for the top six of the Premier. The only concern for me would be maybe the job is too big for him, maybe Bournemouth is his comfort zone. I've said this for a long time - Howe is the man we should break the bank for - love his attitude, humility and approach to the game, he is everything I want from a villa manager - we should at very least test his resolve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AndyM3000 Posted September 3, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2018 Andre Villas-Boas is available and with our new owners and some backing he might fancy the challenge. Chelsea didn't break the managerial record for him for no reason but his profile has dropped off a lot since then. I just want someone young who can build for the future rather than these awful British managers that just go jumping around the bottom half of the prem/champ teams getting them nowhere. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your sentiment but I think the last bit is a bit of a disservice to the likes of Chris Hughton, Howe, Brendan Rodgers, even the likes of Dean Smith. Even the newer generation of British manager is evolving. We simply have a relic from the old guard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always some risk in a first appointment but would be one worth taking if he could be persuaded to come. There is always some risk - but that is taking a punt and hoping it works. Quite a few clubs were impressed with Remi Garde and Tim Sherwood - but only Aston Villa were stupid enough to take the gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The awful ones I am talking about are Allardyce, Moyes, Pulis, Warnock, Hughes, Pardew etc, who seem to be the go to guys when clubs need saving from relegation/promoting. I'm more concerned we might hire one of them when Bruce does go. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham fans described Bilic as tactically inept, no plan, no organisation and no fight. He should fit in seamlessly here at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a pedant but one if not two of the managers you've noted there do not consider themselves to be British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Didn't Eddie Howe leave Burnley as manager as was homesick then rejoining Bournemouth? I wouldn't go for him and he prefers the South of the country. Edited September 3, 2018 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern, seems a home bird. Spent nearly all his playing career at Bournemouth. Couldn't settle when he went Burnley to manage them either. That would be my concern, although, Burnley doesn't exactly strike me as idyllic, for a man whose spent the best part of his years in Bournemouth. You could probably say the same for Birmingham.

terrytini Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Could I please have Arsene Wenger as DOF, and then Terry as player coach ( defence), Arteta As midfield coach, and Henry as forwards coach/ Manager. Or I’ll be Manager, or whoever.Dont mind. At least then I can have a week or so when I can fool myself into thinking everything is going to work out fine. Coz I’ve got no idea at all who we coukd appoint that’s going to sort us out, but it’s not going to be Dean Smith or Sam bloody Allerdyce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
