I think he could bring a lot of quality players to the club. Totally agree , either of those options would be good in my view , I’d probably favour Rodgers due to his experience but Henry has contacts that could be useful too , hopefully a decision will be swift and we can kick on , the gap is 3 points to 6th so it’s still very much achievable .

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) 49 minutes ago, John said: "Henry believes the Villa job is his if he wants it? " I would want to be sure our choice wanted the job and would take it before we offered it to him. We don't want another Solskjaer situation where other candidates know they weren't our first choice. To be fair I believe this is all just posturing in the media to make it seem as if there was ever a chance they were not going to hire him, and/or keep Bruce. No coincidence all the rumors came quite some time ago lol. Henry, Edens and Sawiris are probably in an upscale lounge sipping fine Champagne, smoking Shisha and pissing themselves laughing at the news reports. Obviously I have the same apprehensions as others have had, but when was the last time we had an exciting unknown factor here? Based on what i've seen from Henry he does not come across as your average "thick" footballer. Seems quite refined and football intelligent!

From what I have read regarding bits about the Belgium national team is that Henry has quite a bit of nouse about him and is highly regarded. If he can do for us what Stevie G is doing at Rangers then I'm all for his appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of players here underperforming despite Bruce’s so called man management skills . if the new manager can get the best from the players in this squad then the gap is far from insurmountable , we need someone who can motivate them and get this squad firing .

Villaphan04 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I'd think that it is highly possible that Fonseca was the clear #1 target from the beginning but as it was pretty unrealistic NSWE started looking at all the other options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on. His man management motivational skills with the national team have also not gone unnoticed. This squad needs a pick me up. Henry sounds like the perfect tonic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's true that he actually was, considering he actual came out and commented on the situation and politely declined us. Cheeky, but I admire our new boards' ambition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 So the Daily Hail is going for Rodgers and the Star is going for Henry. I expect to see Dean Smith as the manager then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 If it is between the two I would for Rodgers as he has managed 2 big clubs whereas Henry so far has put the cones down for some belgians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I think we should also take notice to the comments "I want full control over transfers". Is he implying that Mendes has too much of a say for his liking? Is there already something in place where we may have agreed to have loads of players thrown at us through Mendes connections? Interesting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
