dudevillaisnice Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've always considered doing that (badges that is) are you seriously going for it? if so i'd be interested to know how you get on. I think it starts in September. My mate has all the details, he said that apparently Level 1 is easy but Level 2 is difficult but if you do well in it you can easily be fast tracked. I'm going to be sorting it out soon so if I get the details I will let you know. Cool yeah thanks I'll be keen to find out more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Is Ron Saunders still alive? He is Ironsid and he is a Villa legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If we stay up.... Moyes, Jol or markavfc40 I'd prefer fran to be honest. He scares me He's like Big Sam crossed with Big Ron, but smaller and less English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've got my level 1 badge! set to do my second one in the summer...then I will hand in my CV. Put your cv in to the Villa now. Refer them to your posts in VT. If they're wise they'll realise you could probably do a job picking the team and scouting for players. But would you have what it takes to get this lot playing as well as they can? If so, you're my pick, ahead of the brolly bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsboots Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Funny you should mention that. A few years ago someone emailed their Championship Manager CV to Steve Gibson at Boro and he actually replied to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that, he got quite a good humoured reply to it as well didn't he? something along the lines of "I don't think we could afford to pay the wages of a man of your talents" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 actually think Gibson hired Southgate instead so is probably still having nightmares about not hiring the Football Manager guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Citeh was more along the lines of "Don't write to us again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaashleyyoung Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ive applied for 40+ managerial jobs in the Football league including Villa. I also applied for the England job and never heard back. Interestingly enough, Sunderland were (in there own words) considering me for the position. Two days later they appointed Roy Keane. I felt betrayed.

villaajax Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I found the Middlesbrough reply "Many thanks for your recent application for the Managerial position at Middlesbrough Football Club. You were of course the outstanding candidate but after careful consideration we decided against your appointment. Quite frankly we were of the opinion that your tenure with us would have been short-lived, as your undoubted talent would result in one of the big European Clubs seeking your services. We consider it a sign of our progress that someone of your status could consider us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvillafan Posted March 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think we'll get what we deserve - Hughes, Big Sam or even Hodgson. We will play the "British" style of football and return to our position as "best of the rest" and being regularly dumped out of the early rounds of the Europa league.

I felt betrayed. Well it came back to bite them didn't it? I believe he pretty much won 40 games in row. Took them from bottom of the championship to top of the table. Im not saying I could have done a better job, but Id have had a better Goal Difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
