hercs23 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Lots of speculation circling now that Carlo Ancelotti will be the next villa manager and we are just waiting for Lerner to finalise things next week. I'm not ITK, just praying and hoping for this to be true from what I've heard.For the sake of my computer screen I kind of hope that isn't true. mantis why wouldnt you want ancelotti??

Moorski Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Mark Hughes linked with move to Chelsea with Hiddink as DOF, I could see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Neil Lennon, Dave Jones. Are Aston Villa that bad? Not a chance of either of those. £212.47 to Villatalk by direct debit each year if this happens. Moyes, Hughes or Ancellotti please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It was the Sunday Times that reported that Rijkaard has let Aston Villa know of his availabilty to manage Aston Villa. Can't see this happening,he flopped big time in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Mail stuff is way off the mark (imo). All the noises I hear are that the manager is appointed by a board consensus rather than on the whim of the owner. Warming to Rafa being appointed but would be happy with one of Rafa, Carlo, Hughes or Moyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Only posting what the Times said. Are they more reliable in reporting such things? You could be right about Rijkaard, I personally would be surprised if we went for him though over other Managers out there. He is out of work though and may well fancy the job.

hercs23 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 reading rijkaards record looks as though he implemented the way barcelona play now, which would be great for villa to play but obviously the risk you take is no PL expierence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thought Rijkaard would be a good shout last time so I for one wouldn't be unhappy to see him in this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 How did he implement the style Barcelona play? That's the philosophy if their football from Cruyff's day as manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 but obviously the risk you take is no PL expierence I think that we need a Manager with recent PL experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan1957 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I dunno, but I think he would make a very good manager in the PL I wouldn't mind Frank de Boer coming in as his assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 We are not going to have the type of players at Villa that Barca have so we ain't going to play like them,more's the pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan1957 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Well if anything, I would say that the style of football eminates from the Ajax academy. They produce so many class players. Rijkaard would help develope players considerably. Frank Rijkaard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 5, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Mail stuff is way off the mark (imo). All the noises I hear are that the manager is appointed by a board consensus rather than on the whim of the owner. We don't have a board in the traditional sense, at most it's Randy, Paul Faulkner, Robin Russell, Sharon Barnhurst and the General. I'm not sure how that group comes to decisions like this one.
