If you are professional, follow a contract and possibly even have some kinda moral backbone, you wouldn't spill this right before your team kicks off. Belgium has a match tonight IIRC, then one this weekend, then the final one on Tuesday? I wouldn't be surprised if more news started leaking either late tonight, tomorrow or after the two remaining matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact i can understand that from any manager currently employed at a decent level. Imagine Rodgers interviewing for the Villa job, not getting it, and then having to go back to Celtic to carry on his job there. We'd be livid if a Villa manager did that with another team. But the other way to look at it is other managers might think they are second choice and not want it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be unimpressed if Henry is our manager and he's stalling due to the international break. If he's taking the job, he ought to be coming in ASAP to spend some time getting up to speed not sticking around in his old job for a meaningless game against Switzerland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more he delays it the harder his first fixture should be To be honest we need the new guy in asap. We are a mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Eeek. Monaco or Villa? Though, Monaco could be riskier than Villa. They are 1 point from bottom Edited October 9, 2018 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glorified physio and a former great with zero coaching. SO Henry only put out cones and bibs, now Faria is just a glorified physio They keep getting better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't leave because he'd got a new job. which other teams have their new managers wait until a good time to leave? Presumably we'd be paying up for his contract ending early anyway. Reminds me of Houllier's notice period...It's all very Aston Villa, I can't recall any other club putting up with it.

lexicon Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 2 hours ago, Ingram85 said: But you dismissed Smith as rolling the dice yet they both struck me as similar to Smith in that they had some managerial experience before taking the Villa job, Smith probably more so considering he’s managed in the modern game so not exactly rolling the dice is he? As detailed, Smith has no playing or managerial experience at a club similar to ours. Little had both, JG playing but as stated, was more of a risk, granted. Like it or not, Smith is a bit of a risk.

Potentially Rodgers was there 2004 - 2008 as youth coach and then reserves coach, but Terry was already 1st team captain by the time he arrived Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So it seems Henry isn't 'undecided' on Villa, he is just keeping his options open with Monaco. I believe he will go there given the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So as any one got a idea what is going on? It looks like Villa have hardly lined a replacement up for Bruce which seems odd as we sacked him and all of his coaching staff in one swift axe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to be able to put cones out in a straight line and "rub someone down" in order to get your badges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
