Chindie Posted April 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2011 Apart from Houllier, we're useless with foreign managers We've only had one other foreign manager. 21 Years Ago. ...David O'Leary wasn't that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I don't care about the nationality but I think a British based manager is a must. British based with European experience would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'll be quite happy with someone half decent. Normally I'd hope for someone good, but 'good' might be a bit ambitious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We know Houllier (obviously) and Sven were interviewed. We approached for Moyes (but were told to **** off). Decided not to go for Jol because he was at Ajax. Mourinho said 'next year'. Thats about all we know. Didn't Curbishley get an interview too?

Rossco76 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Owen Coyle please. He doesn't seem to mind jumping ship from 1 club to another so we may be able to turn his head with the right offer and he may see Villa as a far better club to boost his profile and reputation with than Bolton.

TRS-T Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Just had a very bizarre thought!... If we do end up having to replace GH there is one name i havn't heard mentioned & he could well be avaliable if his contract was bought out & his current employers would probably jump at the chance... He seems to like Villa Park too & he already knows loads of our players & indeed has them gelling very well already on the international stage! ....................................................................................................................................Fabio Cappello! :shock: God no! Houllier out! Capello out! Replace Houllier with a British manager. Replace Capello with an English manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 yes we get it, your racist. We've already had the British/foreign debate.. do you actually have an opinion on who exactly should get the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I racist? Yes, here's my shortlist: Moyes Hughes McClaren Allardyce Coyle Curbishley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'd say telling somebody they couldn't have a job because they were from the wrong country would constitute as racist, im sure as hell thats what the police would be telling me if I turned somebody down for a job because they were foreign. /exaggerated hypothetical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelboyVilla Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Being British = Guaranteed Good Manager = No Being French = Guaranteed Good Manager = No Being Brazillian = Guaranteed Good Manager = No Etc...Etc... I just want a better manager than GH, which isn't really that difficult IMO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really were scraping the bottom of the barrel. While there are others I'd prefer to Curbishley, he's hardly bottom of the barrel. Did a brilliant job for Charlton and was doing an excellent job at West Ham too. He doesn't really have any black marks against him as far as I can see... other than the bizarre attitude so prevalent on here that if a manager has never won honours with a big club then he can't be any good. Much like Allardyce, I suspect with decent resources at a decent size club (like Villa), he'd probably do pretty well. And I have absolutely no doubt he'd have done a far better job than Houllier. But personally I'd take Moyes out of the realistic candidates for the job right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I would like Moyes (with GH upstairs). I wouldn´t mind Sven, Hughes or Jol. Dont want Curbishley, Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 And I have absolutely no doubt he'd have done a far better job than Houllier. To be fair, your relative Donald could have done a better job than GH this season Mr D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Just curious here... I see a number of people saying they wouldn't mind Hughes as manager. What do people see in Hughes? His track record is not exactly remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
