A specialist centre half - James Collins... and a striker who can actually hold the ball up and bring others in _Davis. Even a transfer window isn't needed. All managers on the outside looking in can see that. If Bruce doesn't keep his job im sure they'll be queues round the block to take the job and be proclaimed as a genius who never spent a penny of Villa's money to do what dino-Bruce couldn't. Oh I agree that even a half decent manager should be able to get a tune out of this squad and hopefully be able to patch up the holes in it for now, either with out of contract signings and/or tactically playing to our strengths. However I’d like to think that we are aiming higher than half decent for our next managerial appointment. Perhaps that is why it’s taking so long? Taking so long from a fans impatient perspective anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSteveUK Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Rui Faria is looking to get back into coaching - as long as working with Jose for 17 years hasnt ruined him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce is still in charge over the festive then I will send you all a Christmas card with a tenna in. There's also the theory that despite much evidence to the contrary, anyone who is a billionaire must be good at running a football club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really ....I think the opposite. I dont they envisaged making a change this early ....and purslow will have a big input ...hes been here ??? 4 weeks I think our slump has caught the new owners on the hop... I am fearing the worst over the next appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I imagine the owners are making sure they get their decision right. Even if it cost us promotion this year. I'd rather see that. Then another knee jerk, badly thought thru appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure about Henry, as it seems like too much of an ‘experiment’ like Garde and Sherwood to a certain extent. Wenger would be the best managerial appointment for us since... well, a long time! Would love Wenger here. He’s need to change his name to Asto Wenger but that’s a mere detail. Edited September 30, 2018 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be Henry manager with Wenger above him as a DoF role. Fwiw I think it would work. I have a quiet confidence that Henry will succeed as manager here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that now Wenger has retired from management but wants to work in other capacities in football then it says it all really. Henry is just sitting with Belgium awaiting the phone call.

As said before he inherited an amazing team and Leicester scouts got Mahrez for 400k and Kante for 5.6m the latter won them the league then won it for Chelsea imo. Ranieri is bang average and people only say him because Leicester won title and ignore all the other factors. RDM won CL and the team was practically managed by the senior players Edited September 30, 2018 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Henry would be a disastrous appointment tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
