Lot of cliched stuff, but wouldn't go on that. Hear him getting a lot of credit for Belgium getting to the semis. The height of my managerial experience is FM 2017. If in real life I didn't take that particular group of Belgium players to a QF, id be disappointed. Just not crazy about the idea that we are gonna be the guinea pig club in the Henry experiment. For the record I think Henry is a bad idea, but what they say on Sky doesn't necessarily indicate their suitability for management. I give you Gary Neville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he has no plans to retire, and he ain't going back to Arsenal, so his options will be limited. If Henry was coming I'd want someone decent above him as manager/DOF/mentor and as Sawiri has lived in London a long time perhaps will see Arsenal as a blueprint. More likely that Bruce will stay though IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a manager is more than just criticising people when they get stuff wrong, ala sky sports half time rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I'd be all for giving Henry a go. Someone's got to take a chance on him and it's not like this isn't the perfect time for us given our new start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no logic at all to that really, because neither have any experience. I guess I'm just looking into more seen as its my club rather than Derby. This isn't true at all. One has NO experience and the other was a coach at Arsenal AND assistant manager to the team that finished 3rd in the WC. Like chalk and cheese really, yet as you say you're excited for Derby, me too and many others, yet many also disregard Henry. He coached at Arsenal and Belgium, not too shabby. I'm all for it and if the new guys want to make a big statement, go get him, put him with an experienced team and support a few additions and task him with getting the maximum out of what we have. I don't care about promotion this year. Unlikely to happen with or without Bruce, so let's start afresh with a new footballing blueprint. No more players over 28, same formation and style of play club wide, the 'head coach' model. With Villa employing our own coaches and a head coach bringing in his own assistant and only appointing people who will play the way we set out. that way we're not restarting every time we need a new man. The last 8 years or so have seen many many failings and now is the time to rip it up and start again AND for fans to exercise patience. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Under Henry we might just start to try to play some decent football. Had enough of Bruces turgid safety first tactics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola, zenga, rdm owners making shit first choices based on the career as a player He has no credentials for job Exactly, I cant think of anything that would make him appealing other than his name! I understand some would be happy with anybody but Bruce, but to choose a person with zero managerial expertise is beyond my understanding. Its not as if we are an easy club to manage currently either! Edited July 22, 2018 by Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only2McInallys Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I am praying that Henry is going to be announced as new manager of Lyon or some other French or Spanish team.This wrong on so many levels.He would be perfect to take over at an established club that needed more exciting football.Maybe us after Alladyce has got us promoted.

If we no longer have to sell our best players I'm confident we'll see further progression this season under Bruce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I was happy until I read this. To start with a flashy, publicity-grabbing gamble on a totally untried manager would be a worrying sign of either lack of seriousness about running the club or naivety about how you find a good manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Well we all wanted Bruce and look how that turned out. Many seem horrified by the thought of Henry replacing Bruce so maybe it will end up being a master stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyAnty Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Our owners both decided at WC semi final game to buy Villa. I suspect Henry was probably at that game as well watching who they play 3rd place play off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
