diehardvillan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 astonvillalife Aston Villa Life @ @mjhall39 just had message. Friends with a lot of people at be club including most of the players. Also work with Acorns #avfc Wtf does that mean? He is a guy on twitter who works for the Express and apparently from what he just said; he has contacts with Villa. Including the players. And works for Acorns also. Seems to believe that the Ancelotti stories have real substance to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 10 seconds in, I want to see that sort of eyebrow movement. That's amazing. He should defo be the next manager! Who needs good english when you can move your eye brows like that. :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfcmatt123 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ancelotti now 4/6 favourite at Victor Chandler! Betting prices have absolutely no relevance in these situations. All they are doing is reacting heavily to small bets being put on. If Hughes was odds on at one point, and then I put £500 on Ancelotti you would see Hughes move out and Ancelotti move to evens or better... I don't think that there is much going on at 10.30 at night in the Lerner, Hughes or Ancelotti households... in fact they are probably all watching TV and you are there refreshing various bookies thinking they are about to sign on the dotted line. Makes it exciting nonetheless, and believe me I am not sitting their refreshing the betting pages and am not expecting a manager is about to sign on the dotted line.....

PIW Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Am I the only one who doesn't think that an Ancelotti appointment doesn't mean great deal at the moment. He had money and an already decent team at Chelsea so couldn't do much but look successful. even Avram Grant was a post away from winning the Champions League. Can Ancelotti do it at a club like Villa? Where he can't sign just anyone? he's as untested as a Paul Lambert on this regard and for that reason I'd be fairly sceptical if he were appointed.

redrum Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 key quotes from last week...... Ancelotti said: "I would coach West Ham - why not? It's a challenge to manage a team in the Championship. "The atmosphere at West Ham is amazing. It doesn't matter if you manage a top team or a smaller team. "It's more important to work. I was happy to train in the second division when I was learning." i think hes getting the villa job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If this Ancelotti furore is just a stupid smokescreen to hide the truth that MH has indeed been tapped up .........well, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the club for my premature ageing!I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if Ancelotti signs tomorrow I'm going to have to spend the rest of the day in the office with shit in my pants. Then I'm going to have to endure a train journey to Birmingham with said shit in my pants as there wont be any time to go to the shops and get new pants. Its going to be a messy day.

Secret_Squirrel Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 astonvillalife is credable, in that he does know some of the players, though not sure the players will know much more thsn the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philthevillan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 As a sport journalist for a well known organisation I can confirm I have no idea who our manager will be. But I do know that the best person to listen to is Pat Murphy, he is always right and as that is the case for now we can rule out Hughes. He is suggesting Moyes could be under consideration despite being under contract but also admits he has no clue who the number one target is as the club won't tell him. No second guessing from Murphy, just hard facts. http://bbc.in/m0tb0S Also big credit must go to Mat Kendrick, he is definitely another one to keep an eye on. The rest are all just speculating. Anyway for the record, Moyes or Ancelotti and I'm happy! Will update you with my professional opinion on media speculation as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancelotti would be a huge statement of intent. And let's look at it from a player's point of view... who would you rather play for, Carlo Ancelotti... or Paul Lambert?

It could also be leaks cming from the day's events. Ancelotti comes home at 5pm, tells his wife over dinner he is going to be the new Villa manager... 7pm Wife's mother does her nightly phone call to her daughter and it just comes up in the conversation.. 8pm Wifes mother mentions it to her hubby whilst he dozes in the armchair.. 9pm he decides to go have a quick jar or 2 in his local and jut brings it up in converstation.. 10pm Victor Chandler has caught on, hence the massive change in the odds.. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siminjo Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 i hope all the way in to my bone that silvio berulosconi has placed a huge bet on him to be villa manager, and if he does not become it he knows what will happend with his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ionic Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It'd be interesting to see how much Ashley Young and Downing bring in on Shirt sales, that could push RL to push for a big name more to keep hold of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
