juanpabloangel18 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Benitez managing us would honestly be heart-breaking. Eurgh. Dunno how I'd react in terms of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Lambert is beginning to seem to be the most ballsey and attractive option IMO. I can't see it happening though - Randy - but I'd be really interested to see what he could do with AVFC. Not that whatever a journalist says is gospel of course, and I doubt he knows the real ins and outs and what the board are thinking but Matt Kendrick tweeted this earlier: MatKendrick Mat Kendrick Not sure #avfc would see Paul Lambert as a replacement if GH leaves. PL experience was a pre-requisite last time and could well be again. MatKendrick Mat Kendrick Also re Lambert, he might just be too close to MON who is currently waging a compensation war against #avfc so is even less popular at VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Yup me too, besides, I know money talks but Lambert really does come across as the loyal type for some reason to me. I think he'll want to stay at Norwich and try and establish them as a Premier League team. He's a young guy in managerial terms, if he fails I'm sure it won't be the last Premier League job he will ever be linked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Na he was involved in quite a lot of controversy when he ditched Colchester after about a year, so he might not be the most loyal. (although obviously - it would take a veritable saint to stay loyal to Colchester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy_loes Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I dont really subscribe to this 'Premier League experience' thing. Its just putting themselves under constraint. None of the current top 4 managers had prem experience before joining their present clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the current top 4 managers had prem experience before joining their present clubs. Also was the PL experience thing no due to the fact that the season was already underway. I think it would be more of a best candidate search now that they should have the whole of the Pre-season to make decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Westwood on a free? we should be getting ON that tbf. There are alot of free's about, although some are already on their way elsewhere, it'd be fairly easy to get a decent squad out of the free's this season -----------Ochoa/Westwood L.Young----Mexes---Clark----Taiwo ----------------M.Diarra -------------Altintop-Delph Downing----------------------Marvaeux -------------------Bent. No money spent Never gunna happen. Half your backline has already gone to AC Milan. although some are already on their way elsewhereJust sayin', you're only teasing yourself. Sickeningly, I think the smart money's on Marveaux fecking off to Liverpool as well. The git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchard Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Benitez, despite the way he pissed us about with Barry, was complimentary about Villa on a few occasions - saying how the club was run was how he was trying to convince Liverpool to do. As a person I don't particularly like him. As a manager - he's fantastically qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 "I was watching the fans and I was really sad after the defeat the other day. We have a saying in Spanish, which is: 'White liquid in a bottle has to be milk.'" Benítez, who led Liverpool to second place in the Premier League in 2009 but could manage only seventh last term, added: "What does this mean? It means that after 86 points and finishing second in the league, what changed? The Americans, they chose a new managing director and everything changed. "So, if you want to ask again what was going on, it's simple: they changed something and, at the end, they changed everything. So, white liquid in a bottle: milk. You will know who is to blame." Pressed further on the matter, Benítez would only say: "White liquid in a bottle. If I see John the milkman in the Wirral, where I was living, with this bottle, I'd say, 'It's milk, sure.'
