CrazyPanther Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Klinsmann got sacked from Bayern for being a nutjob didn't he? Tried to transform the training systems, and the players couldn't stand him. Eriksson delivered the title to Lazio, but only on the back of huge financial investment that ultimately crippled the club. Without funds, I doubt in Sven's ability to deliver. So that's a 'thank you for the offer mr banker, but no deal" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Simon Grayson ? I expect the odds on him to tumble Just a feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have a horrible feeling though that the next manager will not be a welcome one to many. And to others it won't matter, they'll be happy just because MON has gone. I supported MON, but I am very happy that he has gone. The next manager will also receive my support, whoever is appointed.

MR.Smalljob Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Since Sven was in Lazio,he has become a joke of a manager. Bob Bradley is just an amateur,and it really would be a joke if he became manager here. Curbs,Just a BIG NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 What about Brian McDermott of Reading - totally transformed them last season? They played some great football against us last season. Will never happen, but could be a big-name in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avfc89 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I want Jol, I believe he'll be a step up from MON and would give us a better chance of succeeding in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted August 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2010 Didn't van Basten fall out spectacularly with pretty much the entire Dutch squad? And I'm fairly sure Rijkaard has some personality issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoryof82 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. Exactly, the likes of Grayson and Sven and Bradley and so on being mentioned is just scary, I know I have Villa tinted glasses on, but I would have thought we could attract some better names than this...

PompeyVillan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Bob Bradley would be absolutely 100% the wrong man for the job, if he is appointed that I'll absolutely lose faith in Randy's ability to run a football club. At the moment, there is only one candidate that would keep me happy and that's Martin Jol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Interesting that everyone's an expert on Bob Bradley all of a sudden. He's not who I'd want in charge, but to lump him in with certain other candidates is hideously misguided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyPanther Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 At the moment, there is only one candidate that would keep me happy and that's Martin Jol. 99% I feel exactly the same. The other 1% is for the comedy gold that would be Maradona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Jol or moyes are the only ones i'd have 100% faith in to keep us challenging for 4th place. The rest would have my full support and may surprise me but i can't see the likes of curbs or bradley taking us the extra step that MON couldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.Smalljob Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Dream Manager would be Bielsa,but that's just impossible now. Imagine villa was playing like Chile :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies4England Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 A few foreign managers who have a decent track record and may be realistic. Bert van Marwijk was linked with Liverpool, he's a possibility but I doubt he'd leave Holland. Most unrealistic in my eyes. Javier Aguirre has just left Mexico, did an excellent job at Osasuna and then went to Atletico Madrid did a decent job, but had a bad patch and got sacked. Fatih Terim has a fantastic track record throughout his career, rejected Newcastle in the past due to being the Turkish manager but he recently quit that role. Manuel Pellegrini also has a great track record and was unlucky to be sacked as Real Madrid manager. Would we be a club that is an attractive option to him though, I don't know. I'm also not sure if he can speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Everyone seems to be forgetting an available manager who has only ever lost 5 games in the Premiership.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
