villarule123 Posted July 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm totally OK with Henry. We didn't go up under Bruce. I don't think we will/would go up this season under Bruce. I don't think we'll get relegated under Henry and we could get incredibly lucky with him and get a few players with his contacts that thrive straight away. Henry is potentially a much better manager than Bruce, whom we had at his peak last season and failed. Promotion is unlikely this season at this moment in time, I don't think we have much to lose taking a punt on Henry. It'll be entertaining either way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa_Vids Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The TH speculation is all a comical misunderstanding. The new owners have upgraded the vac for Bruce's office. Welcome Henry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between you appointing Henry and us appointing Lampard? Both have no managerial experience and yet Lampard is welcomed with open arms and we're all (mostly) excited about what he could do with the squad and younger players. Seems to be split down the middle with Henry. Is it because we had Rowett and we're fed up with turgid football? Does Bruce get a free pass because you got to Wembley? What is it? I think henry would be welcomed with open arms (mostly) if he gets appointed. I just think given we currently have a decent manager in charge, we have financial uncertainty in the background, and it's so close to the start of the season, some of us are questioning the risk of appointing an unknown quantity at this stage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posed a question...and indeed it’s my view we are not in turmoil. You have basically said we are in turmoil because we have to sell some players. Your view does not become fact just because you add in some adjectives to describe those who disagree with it. I think you'll find that it was you who called my post ridiculous.

villabromsgrove Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It's just gone ten o'clock and there's been no reaction to the Henry rumour from any of the concerned parties. If Steve's job is safe and the TH story is 'made up media' I would expect a denial from Villa or Henry soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it’s that simple. All we have to do is acknowledge that you are the definitive keeper of all truths. Or how about I say “ We aren’t. It’s that simple” ( or “ end of” which I understand is another phrase popular in online conversations). Is there any reason why you can’t just have your own view without insisting it is THE reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with a number of football clubs and happen to be hear a hell of a lot that goes on. Let's agree to disagree and move on.

I think we were in turmoil, however, with the new ownership, clearly having more clout than Dr Phoney, coming onboard and yes still with lots of work to do. I would say we can put that behind us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got better things to do, so last go. Can’t you see what you are saying is an opinion ? It therefore doesn’t follow that those that don’t share it are ridiculous, wishful thinkers, blinkered, or anything else. Im not seeing anything through “ claret and blue glasses”......I don’t think we are in turmoil. I could ( but won’t) go on for ages why. I fully accept somebody else might have the opposite view. But that doesn’t mean I think they are ridiculous, or blind, or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets worse ! ” I work with a number of football clubs and hear what goes on “. Ok. Well that’s good enough for me. I am wrong. You are so clever, so well informed, so certain, I must be wrong. Silly me. Oh. No. Hang on. I’m not wrong. I just don’t share your ( and your informants) view. As for moving on......I moved on in my initial reply. I posed questions, raised ideas, made suggestions. And as a result I’ve been continuing the debate with others. You took the subject back to saying basically your view was the final word. And have done so three more times since.
