brittain22 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So is Hughes now free to talk to us, now they have Jol or do we still have to wait? I can only see the interviewees being Benitez and McClaren unfortunately, as the clubs stance on Hughes was pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hercs23 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 think im more dissapointed about missing out on jol than ancelotti because i could realisticly see jol coming to villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Blimey... the radio stations this morning have been swamped with Villa fans protesting about McClaren. Nearly all of them saying if it is him then they won't renew their season tickets. It's only speculation!! Talk about jumping the gun a bit.

Maradona10 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hughes can talk to us, but i'm convinced he will not be interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMB Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I know I'm in the minority but I wouldn't mind Mclaren. I'd get behind any manager right from the start though, its not going to do any good being on the managers back from the start is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCrablo Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I wouldn't worry about McClaren, It definitely won't be him. Not because I'm ITK, just because it's common sense. There is no way Lerner would be so stupid to appoint him and ignore all the negativity that has built up. It would literally be suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Maybe we are still in for Moyes.. but the compo for him would be insane and plus he seems too comfortable at Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancharlie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 two of my bosses at work today have a meeting at villa park - they advise on appointments, finance etc etc...unfort my firm is 100,000 employees strong but just seen a calendar document with a meeting with aston villa - interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Fans will be on McClarens back from the start. Friedel says that our fans are a bit difficult, well its simple Friedel, its about having someone to connect with the fans. McClaren is just an irritant little puppy, can just imagine him now, going on about what he's learned from Capello and Fergie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I have a feeling that Randy has stuck to his guns from last year and gone all out for his two favourites in Moyes and Hughes. I think Moyes is 50/50 and will need a lot of persuading, hence why we’re interviewing Hughes too. For all we know we probably said to Hughes that he would be under consideration but that we had other candidates to consider – so he went and quit before being tied up to Fulham in the belief that if we didn’t appoint him other positions would arise in the summer (Chelsea, Everton etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Lerner would be so stupid to appoint him and ignore all the negativity that has built up. It would literally be suicide. Thats my thoughts, Randy knows this is really his last chance to break the top 4 before the majority of fans get on his back, which is ridiculous I know, but we know what some of our fans are like. Appointing McClaren will just be suicide like you say. There'd be no coming back from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I believe that Hughes will get the Everton job once we sign up Moyes this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittain22 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I know I'm in the minority but I wouldn't mind Mclaren. I'd get behind any manager right from the start though, its not going to do any good being on the managers back from the start is it? I think you're right but if McClaren loses a couples of games, the reaction will be appalling (worse than Houllier). They'd be mad to appoint him on that basis. We need someone to unite us and McClaren would have to get off to a Gregory-esque start to get tolerance. Today it's looking like Rafa's. Tomorrow who will it be?

villan-scott Posted June 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2011 Benitez is looking the best candidate for me now, wouldn't be against him at all, but if Mclaren is appointed I'll cry! Like others have said it will be completely left field like Houllier I'd imagine. Hurry up Randy so we can get the summer transfers underway.

jat_r Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Is anyone else worried that if we do appoint Sparky he would just leave us after a lil while for something better. Seems like such a mercenary. Even though he is probably the best candidate out there at the moment he doesn't give me much confidence or makes me think he is loyal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (within reason) Randy will choose the easy option - he just doesn't seem to have what it takes to prize a manager from another club.

Gadzooks Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I can tell you that La Stampa ... most definitely re hased a very old interview with Ancelotti and that the comments reported yesterday are not from a curent interview. Sky Sports News jumped on the story via thier Italian counterpart Sky Italia and there is nothing from either La Stampa or Sky Italia in todays copy ... surely if they'd had such an "exclusive" this would have run for a few more days ? yet the coverage in Italy has disappeared just as quickly as it arrived !
