Jezza Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think Michelsen has said it all for me. Very eloquently put, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuo Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 It seems most United fans I see wouldn't mind him taking over after SAF. But some Villa fans wouldn't want him.. figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Well it's a yes from me, however I fully understand why there would be some NO's and 'It depends' as that is the nature of the game. In fact looking at the landslide victory for YES was a bit of a surprise and does seem to go against what some people feel is the situation on here and other net forums regarding our manager. This is the view that comes closest to matching my own. I started this thread expecting the 'yes' to win and fairly comfortably. But not by this much. And that is why I created this thread, to see what the split of views was. I hope it's been interesting for at least some of you. It has for me.

Big_John_10 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I believe 5th place is the best possible finish we could have hoped for at this stage in the MON and Randy master plan. We look like we could achieve this so why on earth would anyone not want him here next season. From what he has done so far he deserves more time to try and get us into that top 4. Anyone thinking and demanding we should be there by now is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 The top 4 don't develop talent, are you sure? How old were Fabregas, Rooney and Ronaldo when they signed for Arsenal and Man U? Curtis Davies is also 24, and has played in the top 2 divsions for the last four years. He's not exactly some raw teenager like Macheda. I never said they don't develop talent, I said they don't have to rely on developing talent like we do. At £26 mill, Rooney was hardly raw talent anyway. Wenger does like to nurture talent but can also sign the likes of Arshavin to get him out the shit. Another small factor you may want to consider is Wenger has had almost 10 years to MONs 3. 12 and a half years actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillinvillan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yep, daft question, unless we can have Mustafa Salifou as player manager of course but he'll probably get the Manure job instead though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what you mean to say is, Arsenal don't have to obey the rules and sign players like Arshavin outside the transfer window so the FA can reap the marketing rewards of their more popular so called top 4 teams in Europe.

LT_1993 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 yes, to replace him would be very stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I voted undecided. Main reason for me is that as far as I am concerned the gospel according to Sky is that 'the four' will remain 'the four', and the FA and their referees will uphold Sky's wishes, so chasing a final league position above 5 is not achievable. Therefore I pay my money to watch home games and be entertained, with a decent percentage of wins. This season we have won a pitiful 5 home games, as many as West Brom or Middlesbrough, and some of the football that we have witnessed is atrocious. So, when we finish 5th, the team will have improved over last season, and the manager will have reached the pinnacle of what he can achieve at the club in league terms. Thus far his cup record at the Villa has been appalling. Next season he needs to put a cup on the shelf, any cup will do, just to keep the interest alive.

avalon81 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, no question for this season and hopefully many many more. I'm glad 93% feel the same, pretty conclusive and restores my faith in my fellow villains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I'm shocked that some do not. We are lucky to have Martin and he is a manager that all but one or two clubs would prefer to the one they now have in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Have voted undecided due to a lot of his dealings in the transfer market, in my opinion, not standing up to scrutiny. Will wait until the end of his '5 year plan' before giving the :thumb:s up??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 14, 2009 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2009 This one has had a bit of a clean up and a number of posts have been deleted. Can we please try to keep it on the topic of the poll and not let it become a debate on the nature of forum posting and opinion - ta OBE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
