Surely not My theory is that they probably want Henry - but might give Bruce a very short term benefit of the doubt - also Nixon is suggesting that paying out his contract might be an issue for FFP - Perhaps when the season is underway and the new owners have completed there review, and we have a bit of money banked from player sales - Henry would probably still be available , and they move then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I were Irish I definitely would and we do have a lot of Irish fans. He cheated against Villa in 2004 and then said it was fair decision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Henry is highly probable - but perhaps in a few weeks - not days. When new owners come in, sure they want there own man - but tend to stick with the incumbent in the short term, perhaps because there is so much to sort out.

jim Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I’d rather we got rid now than wait a few months into the season. Another season in the championship written off. At least get someone in now, half way through pre season gives us half a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the point in sticking with Bruce, who failed to get us promoted with a much better squad than the one he will have this season. Unless, he's bullshitted the owners saying that all he needs is a few million to resign Snodgrass on loan, as well as Alex Bruce and then we've got a great chance. He hasn't spent much as Villa manager remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see that happening...IF SB has similar results to how we started last season (1 win in 7) he won't make September so still 40 games for new manager to make a difference. Whether its Henry or someone else comes on the radar. Henry could be great or he could be another Zola. If we're going down the big name route I'd go for Bilic or Quique Sanchez Flores.

Hoof hearted Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, he failed to get us promoted, that was the remit. I want him gone, replace him with one of the menstrual bearded ladies off loose women for all I care, he's **** shit. word removed! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 25, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2018 Can Henry make our players pass to each other instead of inexplicably passing to the opposition? That was our biggest problem last year, if he manages that trick I'll be impressed. Mind you if we can start retaining the ball from our own throw ins and leave someone up front at corners that would help a heck of a lot I reckon.

Certainky looks like it, and I would imagine they have met in that case. Someone as high profile as Henry, renowned for loving NBA isn’t going to be sat court side without meeting an owner, who is vey hands on with his franchise and attends games. Or maybe it’s a coincidence, but certainly adds up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
