CrackpotForeigner Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 330 pages for the inevitable appointment of Phil Brown? Wow.£1,000 to VT if it's Phil Brown. I'll match that. (...and then if it happens, avoid having to cough up by slitting my wrists.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops_AVFC Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I think I may have been stitched up by someone at the fun day on sunday, i'll just say it was one of the former players who was there. Said it was going to be Bob Bradley, pending coaching badges/clearance in the next couple of days haha. Took that information back to a fella working there that I spoke to earlier on and he gave me a nodding smile. A smack of disappointment was left with me till after the game lol. He either got it wrong himself or he got me hook, line and sinker..brilliant! lol. Now if these rumours of Moyes are in fact true, I will be highly impressed!

ClaretMahoney Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 No Bradley fans eh?? Wouldn't want him managing the Villa as he has no Prem experience...but didn't he manage the US to the top of the Group??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-dub Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 No Bradley fans eh?? Wouldn't want him managing the Villa as he has no Prem experience...but didn't he manage the US to the top of the Group??? Yeah, but the other teams were crap so it's not really saying much. (I know that sounds like a wind-up but the more I think about it, it's true.) Relieved he's not coming to Villa (although I don't think he was ever seriously considered, and rightfully so); but disappointed that the US won't be upgrading. Then again we (the US) don't really play any meaningful games again for another two years so it's nothing to get too worked up about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 So latest speculation I've seen is that someone made a comment that there was a ginger on his way? Everyone got excited thinking it was Moyes when really it it........drumrolll..... STEVE STAUNTON? As well as KMAC because they worked with the Irish team together, would this tie in with the got 3 targets, a defender, midfielder and a striker, thing? One of which who has played under him already?

Oaks Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 We are a step up because i think Randy would give him some money to spend. To tempt him here he would give him the Milner money plus another £10 million. Thats almost £30 million to improve the squad. If he thinks thats enough of a step up it might happen. The Man Utd and Arsenal jobs will not be coming up soon, i i doubt he would be top of the list. He wouldn't go to Liverpool. Chelsea and Man City like more showbiz managers and Arry's doing a decent job at Spuds. If he feels he needs a little step up, no matter how little we would be...but i just dont see it.

beasley14 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 They seem to think Villa would be a sideways step at best for Moyes. Because it would be. It wouldn't be a sideways step at best. You could consider it a sideways step, but not 'at best', IMO. With a decent manager, we're a better side than Everton and we've got a better chairman.I agree. It'd be a sidestep at worst. I saw one post on there that said Moyes going to us would be like Torres going to Tranmere... Scousers rate themselves highly don't they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Villa have underperformed - we had Ellis in charge for 25 years. We are the biggest club in the 2nd City with a huge fan base & the history to match. Bob Bradley said on BBC interview Randy Lerner has gone about things properly at Aston Villa and they are building something to last. We were 6 points off CL football last season and that included throwing the last game at home V Blackburn so arguably only 3! I'm sure whoever becomes our next manager these same factors will not be lost on them also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstonMartin82 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 http://alturl.com/qnn4f Bob Bradley has signed a new four-year extension to his contract as United States coach, ending speculation linking him with the Aston Villa job. The 52-year-old told BBC Sport last week that he would be "honoured" to talk to Villa owner Randy Lerner about succeeding Martin O'Neill as manager. However, Bradley, who took the US to round two of the 2010 World Cup, will now stay beyond the 2014 finals. "Bob is honoured to be the US coach. He is very happy," said Bradley's agent. From the BBC - presumably he is not even on the short list for an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 If it's not Moyes I'm sure Everton will say it again today to put their fans minds at ease, I guess we have to wait and see if any Everton players gets sold today, that might be a main factor.

CrackpotForeigner Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 According to the Telegraph via BBC Gossip, McLeish is an option. We could do worse imo. In fact I'd rather we got McLeish than Sparky, who seems a bit of a nobbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
