Shady and unverifiable reports of potential new managers swirl around in a fetid cloud of conspiracy theories. If we are now going hard for Pochettino, I wonder how Wes Edens personal approach to Emery turned out - wasn't that yesterday or Saturday's theory? If we do get Poch, watch out America! 'Q' is finally going to emerge from the shadows to gun down the satanists who run the world! Yes John Percy is a modern day Alex Jones, you nailed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when we had fans lining the streets to welcome Martin O'Neill? This would be an incredible appointment, and I don't dare hope. I would imagine the fans would stroll down villa park on his arrival and it will be even bigger than when o neill joined. Id book the **** day off and travel down to london for it if it happened! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Wonder if Poch has had a chat with the 2 Emi's yet, I'm sure at least one of them will say good things about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of profile, as in a manager who wouldn’t look out of place taking up the position at Barca or Milan or similar - at the point of joining us, I don’t think there has been one. Ron Atkinson I guess was quite a high profile appointment. Former Man Utd and Atletico manager. O’Neill as you say, was a big name. Houllier also fairly high profile, although there was a sense that his star had waned. I’m at a loss what the perceived status would be of the managers were prior to 1980. I think Poch would be a bigger statement appointment than all of these and I don’t think it’s particularly close, despite the comparative trophy haul. Whether he can be tempted and it would actually work out for him here is another matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's going to be so funny watching people pretend like signing Poch isn't a big deal and then pretending like the transformation we start seeing on the pitch isn't actually happening.

Sulberto21 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The chances of Poch joining us a probably 5/100 or even less than that. But I’m clinging to that little chance he does join. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2022 Blimey! I'd love for us to be able to attract Poch but I just can't see him coming here. Though, it's good that we are being linked i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would probably.be the same ones slamming all and sundry for not doing " due diligence " if we went on a bad run. " Purslow hired a bloke because he once almost achieved something with Tottenham " I really don't think so, what he did at Southampton and Tottenham was impressive, playing good football, blooding youth, taking both teams to a level of performance above his predecessors and his successors, name a villa manager of recent history that you can say that about. Maybe Dean, but that has the caveat of being in the championship, and then you're looking at MON who spent a small fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) Is it not as simple as a two minute phone call to Poch? "Sent you a link to a video of our facilities, cracking stadium which you'll have experienced, sometimes a cracking atmosphere, we'll back you in the market. You know the South American talent we already have. We'll pay you x amount. Wanna come?" Edited October 17, 2022 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
