TrinityRoadSteps Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I just hope it's all sorted before I fly out to the States for 12 days next Thursday. Otherwise I will be spending most of my holiday trying to find wi-fi hotspots to check Villa Talk. And then when someone is appointed deal with the meltdown thats is sure to follow ! For the record my wish list would be (of the mentioned candidates) 1 McLeish 2 Houllier 3 Moyes 4 Sven 5 Jol 6 KMac Anyone else..Thanks, but, No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganvillain Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 17 million 1 hundred and forty twelve pages ago I suggested / recommended Donandoni. Done a bit of research since and his record is a bit patchy, additionally he has no Premiership experience so probably ruled out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Undecided on Houllier.....not unhappy, but not jumping through hoops either. I guess whoever gets the job will have their good points as well as bad and you have to be patient. Would the DoF thing, with KM basically in charge of coaching the side as he is now, actually work though....or would it be better for Houllier to simply take the reins? I just hope KM does'nt become the first casualty of any new regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I dont like all this DOF talk. Really really worries me. Not least because I bet on Houllier to become manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Donadoni done well at Livorno and got more from Italy team than Lippi did. I would take him. He might speak English as he played in New York which is also a bonus I'm confused by this statement. Didn't Lippi win the World Cup with Italy? i mean current Italy team in 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lippi won the world cup with them, Donadoni took over and had a shaky start but rallied to a solid showing at the Euros, Lippi took over again and the team were rubbish. I think it is just the gradual decline of the 2006 WC team over 4 years rather than the choice of manager at each tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulver Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 About halfway through last season, I was fed up of H&V's anti O'Neill brigade and stopped viewing their site. Their constant opinion was we could do much better than O'Neill and should get rid there and then. Their theory being, that if he left we'd have our pick of the best managers (outside the top 4) queueing round the block for the chance to manage us I wonder what they're thinking now ? Its the dregs of the managerial graveyard and nothing else it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted September 3, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2010 My feelings on Houllier. He swapped John Carew (who clearly from things said in the past does not like Houllier) for Baros (a player he had previously bought but shown the door at Anfield when he wanted more time to sign a contract - talk was he was talking to Man Citeh, in the end he sulked and signed for us). John Carew is still here with a pretty good scoring record, Baros lasted only 1 season a Lyon before being shipped off again (and his goalscoring record was worse than Carews there) He also likes Heskey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the dregs of the managerial graveyard and nothing else it seems In hindsight, surely getting rid of O'Neill at the end of last season would have been a good thing? The options in May would have been a lot better than when he decided to quit in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Their theory being, that if he left we'd have our pick of the best managers (outside the top 4) queueing round the block for the chance to manage us I think it's because people thought the board would have a huge pair of stones and just go an snatch someone from another club. As it turns out, we've decided to tip-toe meekly like a bunch of powder-puff Stewart Downings, too scared to even enquire about another club's manager.
