Sure if there is any truth there will be some negotiation. They will probably go for more experience as Assistant manager you reckon? It just sounds so far fetched I cant believe it for a second. Maybe Henry might bring Remi Grade with him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he is in the frame......I wouldn't be disappointed if it was him. I just think we have an opportunity like Wolves, to transform the thinking at the club and pursue a new direction. opportunities don't always present themselves like this. I understand that. Big owners, big money, but the rest is just speculation, no guarantee the owners will spend huge, they may, but they may not. They may not have big plans, it could just be that Villa is just another asset to have in there portfolio and they will let it drift along and just hope for promotion to sell at a big profit, nobody knows. I just dont get the appeal of Henry or Terry. I dont like Terry for a start, so that probably clouds my judgement, id rather step on lego then have him at Leeds at all. Henry was awesome as a player, worked with lots of great managers, comes across well on tele. But so did Gary Neville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing is that I can see Henry, having worked at various levels of football, from youth upwards, will have an eye for talent and can possibly use knowledge and unearth gems which might not necessarily be on the radar!

I’m sure somebody commented back in the summer, that Henry has a vast knowledge of all the European leagues, even having extensive facts about players from teams in random leagues like the Austrian third division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have said the same, right up until Terry joined us in the summer last year. After witnessing a season of leadership on the pitch, leadership off the pitch, 100% effort, great application and at least appearing to totally ‘buy in to our club’ (not always done by players despite being paid the money), I was forced to correct my opinion. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They’ve not bought Villa for an “asset in their portfolio”. Not in financial terms. Never in a million years. They will run it properly, carefully, yes, but run it to Win. Im as sure of that as I’ve ever been of anything in football. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Thierry Henry and John Terry would bring so much excitement and energy back to the club with immediate effect. We need a lift and they will give it. We just have to remember that Bruce had left us in a defensive mess and if Terry doesn't play we will struggle to keep clean sheets. But, hopefully, Henry will turn Grealish, Kodjia and co into world beaters and conceding 3 will be outweighed by us scoring 5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Henry is 1/8 with sky. Shortest price is 1/10 (betfred and 888). Longest is 1/5 (Paddy Power and betfair). Edited October 7, 2018 by av1 Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tea leaves this morning were in the shape of a balding head. It could link to numerous candidates but they looked more like Thierry to me. My only concern is the accompanying ‘full English’ had a broken fried egg that looked like McLeish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
