yemenal Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Im just horrified at the calibre of most of the people being mentioned in the media, particularly Bob Bradley. I could do the job better myself, and my cat has a better European scouting network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyPanther Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 With a group of very similar managers (in stature) couldn't someone start a poll on this site (with no comments required) on who they'd LIKE to come to Villa - including all the current forerunners. Say, Bradley, Sven, Curbs, Jol, Hughes, Southgate, Pearce and any of the other realistic names we've been linked to. It'd be interesting to see who the fans want. - Sven's a chequebook manager - Bradley, Bilic, Pearce etc are blind shots in the dark if appointed. - Curbs is a media myth, Charlton and West Ham shouldn't be enough to get a job at a top 8 club. - Southgate - 1 club, 1 relegation. - Mowbray - lol, looked out of his depth in prem. - Hughes - wouldn't leave, would be too expensive to compensate Fulham anyway. - Jol, is the only candidate with Upper Premier League experience. I guess the only obstacle if we want him is compensating Ajax. - Coyle's achievments are about the same as Phil Browns, and nobody wants him... surely?! Surely Jol is the only optimistic appointment?! All others make me feel sick at the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2010 I would like Jol, Sven wouldn't be the end of the world, nor would Klinsmann, but I have a feeling that Randy might get this one wrong and appoint somebody along the lines of Curbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'd love Martin Jol or Moyes, but well get neither. I feel sick right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laivasse Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I wouldn't be particularly displeased if Bradley ends up at Villa. The US national team has been impressive for me in the Confed cup and the WC, looking well motivated despite a dearth of real quality. If he could similarly inspire some of our journeymen then it could minimise our potential plummet down the table. The only concern is having Villa become a wholly American owned and run franchise, both tactically and financially... something about that doesn't sit right with me. Sven can sod off (but mercifully I doubt we could afford him anyhow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I really do not want Sven, he has done nothing at any Club he has been or Country, As much as I share the general sentiment towards not touching Eriksson with a barge-pole, I think Benfica and Lazio fans might strongly disagree with you there.

Morkery Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'd like us to target a manager at another club, cause a bit of chaos ourselves. Loved the Brian Little saga! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Jol Moyes or Hiddink would get me excited again but I think all three would be difficult to land. Perhaps Jol is the most realistic but would need a big pay off to Ajax. I have a bad feeling it will be a cheaper appointment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2010 If we appoint Bradley, it should be flaming torches and pitchforks at the gates of Villa Park asap after the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 No chance of us getting Moyes. Some of the names being mentioned are frightening - Bradley, Southgate, Sven, Curbishley will not keep us in the top 10 of the Premiership never mind top 6. Martin Jol is the best manager we can realistically attract at the moment and that is a long shot. I have a horrible feeling though that the next manager will not be a welcome one to many.

~Stringy~ Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Absolutely 1000000% not Bradley, though I don't think Lerner would appoint him - it's an easy connection to make. I trust Lerner to appoint the right man - and that won't be a Curbishley, Southgate, Souness (gulp) et al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
