Tommo_b Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I’m actually dreading whoever it’s going to be. I mean if we could have anyone bar guardiola is there any manager who we would all be happy with? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, nobody gives a sh*t we are Aston Villa anymore, except Aston Villa fans, the times have long moved on and club statures change constantly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was too busy preparing for winning football, to be worried about that. We need smart thinkers.....who make the job easy for themselves, as opposed to a laboured mundane approach. I agree, but the point is the right type of manager will meet those moments full on and make sure they remain moments and not long runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hmm Henry or Rodgers? If there's any chance of getting Rodgers we should do it, but I think Henry deal is already done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I don't think we could throw enough money at Rodgers to make him want to leave Celtic to come here. If he wanted to leave, there'd be jobs for him in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TRO Posted October 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Whoever the new manager is......we are more of a mess than i first thought.....He is in for a tough baptism. John terry was always going to be missed.....but we allowed him to be our life support machine......that was criminal neglect. was we so surprised john would leave after 12 months?,that should have been planned for. if ever a club had a more ironic motto, i am yet to hear it. We really do have to get this appointment right. Edited October 6, 2018 by TRO 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I don’t fully understand the Rogers thing. The bit I do get is that his teams play decent football, and I wouldn’t be against his appointment. But as Liverpool manager he had a huge budget and succeeded only on making them a one, well maybe a one and a half man team. Nobody goes to Scotland from Liverpool to further their career. He’s won a one horse race for a few years, but now the competition has got a bit stiffer he isn’t doing so well. As I say he’s not on my, “no thanks” list, but I’m not so sure he’s as great as others do. But then again I was very keen on Paul Lambert P.S. Anyone who gets out thought by Tactical Tim has to be limited. Edited October 6, 2018 by DaveAV1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Heard it suggested that the villa board havent decided who they want yet. so talk of a waiting incumbent might be far off the mark. - might explain why the odds keep changing ...and a clear favourite one day ...slips back the next.

PieFacE Posted October 6, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) Personally I'd be absolutely shocked if they hadn't decided who they want. I imagine they had a shortlist of who they wanted before actually buying the club. Edited October 6, 2018 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) One thing Thierry Henry hasn't got is any adverse......he's done nothing wrong, because he hasn't done anything to do wrong. There may be logic in there somewhere.....but it might work. his sheer presence and smart thinking might surprise us all.....He will need players imo, but may just inspire us all in to January. Darren Moore Frank Lampard Steven Gerrard have all been given a chance. Lets try it. there is no one nailed on.

I am sure they have a wishlist ...but the "one" may not have been identified...and theres the feasibility of landing your top target. should all become clearer next week.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/10/06/thierry-henry-early-favourite-become-aston-villa-manager-initial/ Quote John Percy 6 OCTOBER 2018 • 10:30PM Follow Thierry Henry the early favourite to become Aston Villa manager after initial talks with the club Thierry Henry is emerging as the early favourite to take over at Aston Villa after initial talks with the club's hierarchy. Henry, the legendary Arsenal forward, has discussed the prospect of taking over at the Championship club in what will be his first job in management. The 41-year-old has been targeted by Villa's ambitious new owners, Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, and is considering whether to leave the Belgium FA, where he currently works as one of Roberto Martinez's assistant coaches. Villa sacked Steve Bruce on Wednesday after a torrid run of results and are keen to appoint an innovative young manager capable of guiding the club back to the Premier League. Henry was discussed as a potential summer target for Sawiris and Edens after they completed their majority takeover in July and Villa were forced to release a statement reiterating their support for Bruce. But the 3-3 draw with Preston North End was Bruce's last game in charge and Villa have been considering realistic candidates to succeed him, with the intention of making an appointment before the home game against Swansea on October 20. Christian Purslow, the Villa chief executive, is spearheading the search and could complete the appointment of Henry next week if negotiations continue to progress smoothly. It has been claimed that Henry believes the Villa job is his if he wants it. Purslow is understood to be considering other options too, including Jose Mourinho’s former assistant Rui Faria and Brentford head coach Dean Smith, as part of a thorough process. Villa are also close to appointing a new technical director, with Jesus Garcia Pitarch emerging as a strong contender. Pitarch has previously worked with Valencia and Real Zaragoza.
