juanpabloangel18 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 allardyce would my first choice, i have always rated him as a manager, i can't understand the opposition of the majority of posters to him getting the job, he is out of work and has done well wherever he's beenTrolling troller is trolling. he is a superb manager who's done well at every club he's been at, he gets the best out of players, i will be majorly surprised if we appoint a better manager than him I'll indulge you. He was sacked as assistant manager of WBA. He was sacked as manager of Blackpool. He presided over the relegation Notts County. He was 'sacked' (mutual consent) from Newcastle. He was sacked from Blackburn. Overall managerial record: P-731, W-293. He is not a superb manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Foreign managers have failed miserably at Villa. tried them all have we? Nope but it's true. Logic fail anyway - you want us to keep trying with foreign managers until eventually one of them is a success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Do people honestly believe Ancellotti will be our manager? Ill have whatever those that think this are having Moyes, Hughes or Martinez for me. He's said he'd manage west ham, why the hell couldn't we get him? Are we not as big a draw as west ham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Although Moyes is definitely my favourite, maybe having a foreign coach will make a refreshing and much needed change? Before Houllier, we've been going british since I can remember. This resulted in over expensive UK based transfers and some dodgy foreign signings. Foreign managers have failed miserably at Villa. O'Leary didn't do too bad in his first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaretMahoney Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Basically as long as we don't get in McClaren, Ericcson, or Alardyce, I'll breath again. Hughes is seeming more and more appealing HOWEVER I think he has shown the best he can lead a team is to a top 10 finish. Would love to see Klinnsman, Jol or Rijkaard.

steaknchips Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 We've only had 2! More British failures so do we not go for a British manager now? EDIT: That is aimed at the foreign managers fail miserably at Villa comment. % of foreign failures - 100% % of British failures - less than 100% This has no relevance.. Aston Villa is a football club...Its not a good/bad luck club for certain managers and their birth place. Wenger took over Arsenal, no English managerial experiance and they had a ground in worse shape than VP is now.. Yet you look at Arsenal today.. There are more Wenger type managers out there, you just have to find them..And the Arsenal way, is the ONLY WAY we are ever going to rule Europe again..We cannot compete financially with the top clubs.. So we MUST find a manager than can build, find, unearth, reshape the whole club into his image..This guy must be very knowledgable,Respected,in touch with the modern game and players all over Europe if possible. Hughes and Moyes do not fit into this catorgory. If they did, they would have done it at previous clubs..Its not JUST about money(which both of them seem to need in abundance to find achievement)..

CVByrne Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Irish managers do not count under the foreign managers umbrella. Technically he was foreign, but given he played football and managed in britain and English is his first language, DOL isn't foreign to the english game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo Ancelotti said he'd manage West Ham. Therefore, by taking those quotes into consideration I think it's a fair bet he'd manage us. If you want to bring other factors into it, then okay, but based on those quotes alone there is nothing wrong with anyone saying he'd manage us. It'd be a step down from Chelsea, yes, but it would also be a challenge and mean staying in the Premier League. Besides the managers who have achieved almost God-like status i.e Mourinho, Ferguson, Pep et al. I'd say any one of them is gettable - stranger things have happened.

Blaizend Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Aston Villa have described as 'premature' reports that Gerard Houllier will stand down this week on health grounds. Assistant manager Gary McAllister finished the campaign in charge of first-team affairs in April after the Frenchman was admitted to hospital. Reports in the Midlands press have stated the 63-year-old will stand down from his position as Villa manager after medical reports revealed it was too risky for him to return to his high-pressured position. However, Villa have rejected the growing speculation after stating that any reports that Houllier had stepped down are 'premature'. The former Liverpool manager is currently one-third of the way through his three-year £8million contract after taking over from caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald in September following Martin O'Neill's shock exit.

mjmooney Posted May 31, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2011 I wonder why Ancelotti actually ISN'T managing West Ham, then? Allardyce said he'd manage Real Madrid. Bill Clinton said he didn't have sex with that woman. Hitler said that the Sudetenland was his last territorial claim in Europe. Oops, sorry, Godwin's Law, close the thread.

You honestly think he would go and manage West Ham? Seriously? If so, u sir are indeed a nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
