TheDon Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I do wonder of all the candidates who would be the most likely to recieve the welcome MON got ? Of the main contenders only Ancelotti would. Moyes would raise eyebrows but wouldnt raise as much expectation! Ancelotti would draw crowds that dwarf MON's imo. I think a lot of people want him, but don't actually think we could get him. If we do, well, it'll be street party time. I agree Moyes wouldn't be cheered into Villa Park, it's the sort of appointment people would expect, and I don't think many people think he's THAT good, he's a decent manager, but, he's not seen as the sort of guy who will push a club on.

ramshackler Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 i have to say i think Ancelotti would be a massive mistake. The guy has only ever managed top top clubs. He has always been able to attract the worlds best with alot of money to spend. Villa would be a totally different proposition. He would need to work with less capable players, he would struggle to attract the top calibre and he has never been proven in those circumstances. For £5 million a year, i think i could prove disastrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when have Reggiana or Parma been "top top" clubs able to attract "the worlds best"?? Just a complete waste of your time even writing that. :?

When he almost immediately signed Crespo, Chiesa Ze maria. and included buffon and Cannavaro! Parma may not have had the pedigree but they were spending crazy sums and had a top top team. He still only finished 2nd then had a disastrous champs league the next year and only finished 5th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggiana may not be a top top club, but they would be expected to be challenging for promotion to serie A. Dont get me wrong, i think the guy is a good manager. My only concern is whether he will be able to have success at villa that would see £5 million a year as good business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggiana, no matter what is said, are not! I dont really know what you are arguing. im saying that although reggiana are not a top team, if he has only managed them in Serie B then they would still have been one of top teams in that division fighting for the title. My whole point is based around has he ever really managed a group of players that was expected to finish 6-10th place in the league? The answer is clearly no. He has always managed teams who are expected to finish top, therefore he has had the pick of players to choose from. As said before i think he is a good manager, but for £5 million a year, i think there are better options, and options who have more experience of finding bargain players and turning smaller teams into surprise packages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Just because he has been successful with the "better" teams, doesn't mean he wouldn't do well here. He also has more chance of getting those better players to come here than anyone else we could get in. He has already gained the experience in both leagues now too which would make him a lot more adaptable than if he had only managed for a few years.

Daweii Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 We are one of the top teams in this league so it would hardly be something new to him. He's shown he can buy in players and rebuild a squad quite well. He has also shown he has a good eye for talent after what he did at Parma. They spent a fair bit yes, but we can spend a fair bit too.. Ancelotti coming here would be a pretty easy job for him. At best he only needs to buy a new goalkeeper and some defenders, at worst some midfielders too.. The rest will be down to his tactics and work ethic.

savosleftboot Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Martinez would be the wrong appointment, we can't afford to take gambles and Martinez has done nothing to prove he deserves a club challenging for Europe. Would take Benitez, Jol and McClaren over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyDirk Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I don't think it will be Ancelotti to be honest, even the Sky Italia report said he refused the job (I had it translated by 2 seperate fluent Italian speakers just to clarify, it's not a mis-translation, it says he refused the job...), I think it will be one of Jol or McClaren (not a fan!).

siminjo Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 its just stupid to say that mcclaren is a serious candidate, cause the board would never dare to appoint a manager that absollutley no supporter would stand behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I had it translated by one of my best friends who is fluent in Italian and was born Italy, he said 'Sky Italia also are refusing to rule out Carlo Ancelotti' - Carlo has gone on record saying he wants to stay in the Premier League, said he'd even manage West Ham for crying out loud.

wiganvillain Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If it was Jol does that mean we would need a director of football as well? Nope, I think emphatically no. The appointment of a DOF was his death knell at Spuds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
