Popular Post TrentVilla Posted October 3, 2018 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2018 In my view I think the selection process has been running behind the scenes for some time and is potentially unofficially some way down the line. The signs this has been coming have been there and I don't mean the abject performances on the pitch. First Purslow's silence, then the dispatch of a number of staff from BMH, the rumours of a DoF and then following the departure of Bruce the rest of his staff went as well. That isn't reactionary stuff after another terrible show and the odd flying cabbage, that is a pre-determined course of action taken by someone who has at least got a fair idea of what is coming next. As for who comes next, I just don't see it being tried and tested British. I think they/Purslow will be a little more creative/ambitious/imaginative than that, I only hope it is someone who has a vision. Someone who is a coach, who works with players both individually and collectively on the training ground, a manager who drills his players, prepares his players... all the things so clearly absent at Villa these last 2 years. Personally I'd love it to be Brendan Rodgers I really would, I think he is just the sort of appointment we need. Could we get him? Possibly not but it seems his time in Glasgow is perhaps coming to an end, we've very wealthy owners and this is probably their best opportunity to flex their muscle and to try and turn us around. Its only going to get harder with every season. I do though think its more likely to be someone from abroad, possibly Mendes inspired. Lets just hope whoever it is, they are a progressive modern coach and watching Villa is no longer so bloody painful and perhaps even enjoyable. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing not many here watch the league games! Presumably he’s done well in the CL? Why is he so good.. - Shakhtar are one of the most attractive teams to watch in the UCL - Tactically he is very flexible - He has been linked with top European clubs - Considered one of Europe's top young coaches A more detailed explanation is below. https://theback3.wordpress.com/2017/06/14/paulo-fonseca-a-man-of-style-and-maybe-europes-next-coaching-commodity/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense - following that course of events would be a DOF and Henry - or that italian geezer stramsuco or something . Henry I think would be a poor appointment - Hope I am wrong but I am sensing a balls up of the highest order incoming. I don't like this idea of assembling a management team - you can't fudge the managers position - Just recruit the best we can and let the manager get on with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
