AvfcRigo82 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 For me, my shortlist of names would be Benithez, Ranieri, Klinsman, Sanchez Flores, Wenger & (Henry), Mellberg & Laursen. Shoot me for being unrealistic, but it begs the question, how many seen John Terry coming? Whomever it may be it would certainly show a statment of intent if any of the above ever happened to become our manager anytime soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s time to realise the quality of a player has very little bearing on the their quality as a manager. I agree. I think there would be a huge meltdown though if we employed some unkown Belgian 2nd division coach though who never played professionally.

Someone with the links to bring in young players on Loan from France and Belgium to replace the likes of Taylor and Lansbury. Like Houllier or Remi Garde Sure Wenger has even admitted he lost these contacts while Leicester snapping them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted July 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 21, 2018 The season is only what, two weeks away? No chance are we getting a new manager, it just wouldn’t make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 It's 2 weeks away, but it ends in 10 months. Plenty of time for a new manager to make his mark on the players and get us heading in a new direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's all ifs and buts. I just hope they don't sack and replace Bruce once the windows are totally shut after August 31st. If we are to act then I hope its soon.

Action now, or no action at all. Anything else would be tying their hands behind their backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to go a different direction, whatever that may be, then do it now. Not after the season has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Can’t see Bruce’s getting sacked to be honest not yet any way. Season isn’t two weeks away be absolutely crazy. rafa would be my first choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Be it Villa Park or elsewhere, I'd imagine Henry has already accepted a job offer. You don't give up a £4m a year job to go and look for another job, you give it up when you've been offered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
