Denis_B Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I do like the speculation on the thread around Ancelotti and Wilkins. That would be interesting. So do I but I think he would have 'bigger' clubs he would be more interested in probably Spain or Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too good do think about though, I'd love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted May 22, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 22, 2011 I just can't see any better option out there for us than Moyes, not sure we are looking for a manager and that if we are we have the ability or balls to go and get him but he is the best option out there in my view.

villan_007 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Sunday supplement saying that ancelotti would go to west ham! If there's a pinch of truth in it we should move heaven and earth to get him and wilko in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yeah they discussing that now, if he'd go to West Ham, surely he'd come to the Villa! He sounds resigned to losing the Chelsea job. Unless it is London that he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 If he wants to stay in the PL i'd take Ancelotti and will go as far putting him in front of Moyes who openly admitted he isn't interested and he can bring Ray in too.. can't see it though as he'll get offers from Roma etc I presume.. I hope we atleast enquire though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 can't see it though as he'll get offers from Roma etc He wants to stay in England This definite? If so, we should go all out. Just hope our current position doesn't put him off - he could do so much better than us. (it's true though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Chelsea have been heavily linked to gus Hiddink and he said he would quit Turkey if an offer was on the table. Its all speculation we know. I think Ancellotti thinks his going becasue every other manager who has not brought a trophy home has got sacked by Abramovich. He would'nt go a to West Ham, they will have o'neil in the end I reckon. Would be an amazing move though to Villa, all day long over Moyes! It aint gonna happen though................is it???? There's gotta be a health and safety aspect to Houllier coming back. Like if he became ill again or even, ya know, goes. Villa would be to blame for employing him surely. Unless that is what his solicitor was for the other day, to get something written up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we atleast enquire though. Ancelotti will be no good for us. He has never or very rarely brought any youth players through. He works with sides that are already built. Or signs players that require wages out of our league. Where has he proved himself with a club like Villa? If Houllier goes, the top choice would have to be Rijkaard..He is another manager than has proven he can build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 can't see it though as he'll get offers from Roma etc He wants to stay in England From Ancellotti 'I love the atmosphere in England. Everyone respects your job, there is no violence, the stadiums are full. That's the reason I want to stay here. If it's not possible, then I am Italian and if there are opportunities in Italy, I will take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I wouldn't say he would be "no good" for us.. I think he'll get us silverware atleast with the squad we have currently.. maybe he also wants to prove that he can win things without big budgets too?

Houlston Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well if he gets the boot from Chelsea, surely we are his most viable option, unless Arsenal part company with Wenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Whatever Manager we may or may not take on will need to also have good coaching staff they are an important cog in the wheel, Moyes has good staff so does Hughes.Ancellotti is missing his ex number 2 Ray Wilkins at Chelsea imo, Houllier no longer has Bergues with him,he was the coach and master tactician at Liverpool. Anyone from Moyes,Hughes or Carlo would be excellent choices for Villa but I cannot see it being Carlo tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Most contracts in Football end/renew in June which is when i thnik everything will take shape. Clasues will become active (like Hughes) and various other factors come into play. Furthermore it allows for a much 'cleaner' termination of Houllier's contract with villa. I doubt things will be announced on Sunday but people's actions and words may give hints hopefully This is a very good point, there may also be something in Houlliers contract that becomes active in June that allows Villa and him to go their seperate ways if either party are unhappy. Also with this MON tribunal perhaps nothing can be sorted until its over because MON is set to become the new Everton manager with Moyes coming here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, he's a good manager but he's not the right fit for us. His reputation is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morales Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Carlo Ancelotti a must if he available and willing. People mention Rijkaard, but he failed at two clubs will a similar standing as Villa, Galastary were near relegation till they got rid of him and he got sparta rotterdam relegated. Carlo hasn't really failed as a club manager and it be interesting what he can do with a club like Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steaknchips Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hughes was not great at Man City...His signings are pretty poor..Is he a special one that can take Villa forward,or just your run of mill stop gap to keep us "the best of the rest"? Lescott Bridge SWP Santa Cruz All very expensive signings yet give very little..A dose of the MON's maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lescott Bridge SWP Santa Cruz All very expensive signings yet give very little..A dose of the MON's maybe?? Not true at all. His signings are still the spine of the side, he signed kompany, de jong and tevez. Also zabaleta who has been a big part of the defense. Lets not forget barry either. Also lescott has finally settled in. You'd have him at the villa in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
