Vive_La_Villa Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 38 minutes ago, Reivax_Villa said: Henry taking on this job means that he believes in his ability to be successful here but he would also know about our players. Normally when a head coach is interviewed for a role, he would have to provide some sort of presentation in addition to a report on individual players at the club and the way forward. Henry will have enough information on the players , it is really about how well the players can adapt to Henry. Agree but you would have thought the same about Garde. Ultimately it will boil down to the players. I think we are a team that can sneak playoffs. With the addition of a new keeper, centre half and left back we could potentially win playoffs. But unless our business is good n January and new players hit the ground running even making playoffs will be an achievement in my opinion. I hope the fans are patient.

He can shut me up by winning games. But I expect I will be hearing a lot "changing the identity" , "Installing an ethos" , "root and branch restructure" - which from what I hearing will have a lot on hear jizzin there boxers .....I just want to see us rapidly move up the table...

Peter Withe ! you can't believe half what you read - but £2m for a guy who hasn't managed anywhere ever, seems well over the top to me- ..thats probably including incentives for promotion etc - I don't believe he is on £2m year basic.

He said he wanted us go move away from the old school manager and the fans need something to get excited about. Possibly the most sense I've ever heard come out of his mouth. I have no problem with Tim Sherwood. Not saying I want him back, I dont. But he gave us a few happy days there and well, I always got the sense he just liked us, the fans. Shrug. Never met the bloke but thats how he came across to me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think all our problems were down to Bruce’s management of the players then you will be disappointed. He is left the squad with one of the worst keepers and defences in the league.

Well let’s hope his first game isn’t a 12 O’clock kick off then so he’s got a few more hour so to get his act together. Otherwise Hippo will be busy with his bedsheet and his French phrase book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
