No body knows anything about anything do to woth the manager, possible players etc. Its just pure guess work. Only people who know who the next manager will be is randy, faulkener or krulak and none of those people are stupid or unproffesional enough to disclose a business' affairs to any tom dick or harry. Drives me mental how people hang on the every word of these so called ITK's when they know no more than me or any other villa fan.

gilbertoAVFC Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I reckon Christian Gross should be given a chance personally. Also, the Doc didn't get a fair crack now did he? Gross/Venglos super-staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The ginger bloke off SSN Pete Colley says Curbishley has been ruled out of the running, if you choose to believe him. Also says we've been impressed with Houllier, due to his work with youth development. Shouldn't have posted that last bit. All of Randy's critics will start moaning that he has no intention to spend money yardayarda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lp_villa830 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Why does everyone rate jol so highly? A decent manager given but the way people go on about him on here you'd think he was god himself. (Lets not drag up a religous debate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should check out his youth development at Anfield, he bought all the french youth that Wenger didn't want, which considering he was the one with the inside track on French Youth was a bit of a let down and Wenger had been in Japan for a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History proves otherwise especially when it comes to MM I think he means in relation to the current manager search. MM has already said he is in the dark.

Gross/Venglos super-staff! I thought Venglos was supposed to be 20 years ahead of his time. He should be the right man for the job right about NOW then, surely? Sign him up!

Also says we've been impressed with Houllier, due to his work with youth development. That was a completely pointless feature from SSN. All he said was exactly what the papers have been saying, just speculating about what could happen, and mentioned the same 4 names, Curbs, Sven, Mac, and Houllier. I feel it's more comlicated than that and there are more people involved than those 4. I guess Sky were expecting an announcement today as Pete Colley was at the ground and nobody else is/was.

jimmygreaves Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Not sure as manager but Houllier in a "Director of Football" type of position would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 If Houllier is director of football. This for me would be what happens: He picks out youth players, under 19's...helps with the transfers in terms of attracting players and financial side. He does not have a say in the transfers of the first team, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The Guardian article talked about one of Houllier's duties being o set up a global scouting network at hte club. Which would certainly help us out (if we're actually going to buy some players ever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problems will start happening when Houllier starts to buy players without manager's permission or sells. The manager needs to be the one who decides who comes in and out, Houllier can recommend players but manager needs to be the one making all the decisions. So the players he has are the players he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All part of the New Villa, get used to it Before all this internet malarky the first we heard of a signing or sacking etc was in the stop press of the Mail, on BRMB or Central news....agh the good old days!. At least we didn`t waste half our life posting on internet sites moaning and groaning about this or that signing, potential signing or unrealistic rumours.... hang on what am I doing here !!!!!!!

I saw that too but did wonder if they were just using GT's comments from yesterday about his recommendation for the same during Gregory's time to make a story out of it.

Philosopher Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Houlliers brand of football is awful to watch, and he is terrible in the transfer market and is not very good at bringing through youngsters, why anyone would see him as a good appointment is beyond me.

string28 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I dont get why people are so against Houllier the mans record is good so why all the attacks on him? I for one wouldnt mind seeing him at villa and helping km out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory the French signings he made back then were pretty established players. Henry for £10m signed from Juve, Pires and Wiltord were both mid twenties and big money signings. The only one I can think of is Anelka? But i'm pretty sure he was brought in before Houllier took over at Liverpool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager needs to be the one who decides who comes in and out, Houllier can recommend players but manager needs to be the one making all the decisions. So the players he has are the players he wants. The scouting network would be a great asset to the club and enable to find gems that we have been calling out for. Mac will need all the help he can get if he is given the role of manager/head coach as being a reserve team manager i'm not sure you have many connections powerful enough and good enough to pull in major transfers and coups for the club. Having Houllier on board alongside him would allow that, which I'm all for. As long as Mac and Houllier can work in tandem, and they can build a good understanding and working relationship then I have no qualms with a DoF, but when a DoF starts doing more than his job remit, then the troubles begin. If Houllier recommends and Mac has the final say then great, but if Houllier signs players and Mac doesn't want or need them, that's when it all goes pear shaped.
