juanpabloangel18 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Some reasons why Henry would excite me: - by most accounts he is a scholar of the game, takes a very analytical view to coaching & tactics - he has achieved great things in football and would command the respect of the entire dressing room on this basis - inspiring for our younger players to have an idol like Henry working with them - a huge draw for attracting talented young players 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem unlikely you would be able to spend big in January without sales anyways wouldn't it? Depends on whether there is way around FFP.

Once you divide that by Thierry Henry you get the square route of Brenden Rodgers And that's Numberwang 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 There has been a plethora of articles and a whole heap of speculation, but not one spoken fact from anyone concerned, apart from two denials of contact. Smith and Rodgers have both said that they have not been contacted yet (in response to direct questioning). Click bait journalists and bookies see us as a nice little earner during this period of stasis. I'm still hoping for Smith, Wilder or Rodgers although all three are looking improbable. I would welcome Henri (with some trepidation) as he would be the epitome of trying to break into the current era of attacking tactics and coaching. If Terry were to be part of the package then defending, discipline and attitude should improve dramatically. There are still so many imponderables, so I guess patience is once again going to have to become a virtue on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything in football has. That’s the nature of competitions with just one winner - even with some punching above their weigh you know that most seasons, most of the time, a majority of teams will be disappointed at their performance.

QldVilla Posted October 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2018 The thing that concerns me about Henry is that's he hasn't done the time as an assistant in club football, nor had the time to bed down his coaching philosophy and methodology. Villa will be the guinea pigs, could be a good thing, but can the club really afford to take this chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that had been Bruce it would have been all the usual slurs........ We'll it wouldn't. Guardiola gave a man's answer that made sense. He said I've watched Mahrez all week smashing in penalties, so I made the decision to let him take it. I was wrong it's my fault. Bruce didn't have the balls to watch Whelans penalty, turned his back. He also had no idea who was best placed to take it, and didn't do his job and make a decision. Good riddance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
