DeadlyDirk Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 More I think about AVB the more I'm warming to it (note: waiting for Birmingham Live to run a "Villa Board Sent Villas Boas message" story in the next few hours)... Attainable for our club? (Think transfer budget, club status, etc) Yes High Profile with a decent average win percentage? Yes Experience of working with high profile players (Something Stevie G and JT doesn't have at management level, Lampard only has fleeting experience)? Yes Has Villa in his name? Ooh yeah daddy..... Johan Lange, Christian Purslow, if you're reading.. Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at least allowed me to laugh during an otherwise somber moment. Seriously though stop saying Gerrard. Even if he's a success the hundreds of post fretting about him leaving for Liverpool every season will be too much. Let him get his PL experience with some other sucker club. You are right. It's just sad. I just can't get excited about a manager losing his job, especially when he's Villa. After what he's done for us, to dump him just feels f***ing awful, regardless of recent results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPDK Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) It seems like Danish options will be mentioned a lot in the the press due to Lange. I mentioned to a few of my friends when we hired Smith, that Brentford got an upgrade at the manager position. I stand by that still. Although, I wouldn't target Thomas Frank now as I want to get away from the Brentford-link, I still think he'd be a solid option - all things considered. The only other Danish name I'd like to see us linked with is Bo Svensson from Mainz. He's been a miracle worker since he arrived in there in January. He's a players coach and he gives young players chances, although he has a small sample size in terms of his career. I think he's going to be very successful wherever he ends up going in his career. EDIT: I'm not in favor of appointing a Danish manager, I'd really prefer not to, but Svensson is one guy I'd be really, really interested in.

useless Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) My choices would be Gallardo, Gasperini, Jardim, or Rangnick. The Denmark manager seems like a very interesting option too, googling him last night and seems he's very well regarde and gets a lot of praise. Edit: Ten Hag would be my first choice as I think he'd be ideal for what we're trying to do with bringing through academy players, but seriously doubt we'd be able to get him.

jacketspuds Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hassenhuttl, AVB or Favre would be my choices. Can’t see Ten Hag wanting to leave Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two are potential For me there is a huge difference in going into a high performance culture and developing one. Roma fans don't speak highly of Fonseca, if you want people who can change cultures then Favre has done that on a few occasions at BMG and Nice.

Unless we get to the root of a pretty disastrous coaching re shuffle the on field problems will remain. This! Deano has worn this, but think the problems are much deeper (potentially up to the used car salesman that is Purslow) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
