commander Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'd go Deschamps* > Ancelotti* > Martinez > Rafa* > Moyes BUt only if teh * can provce they're in it for teh long haul. We need a base to build on Moyes would be solid but unspectacular - I'n really warming to Martinez!! I want Total Football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Friedel has been great for 3 years, and he's 40. Given at 34/35 could be likewise for a good 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMB Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 So tempted to put some money on Ancelotti at that price! Matches the criteria Randy was looking for last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's going to be Hughes, isn't it. Can someone who's voted for him please sell him to me because I'm feeling totally underwhelmed by the prospect of him being our next manager. I'll attempt to! Hughes should be available for free so not effect our budget. He is a winner. Has experience with loads of money at Man City and also a shoestring at Fulham. He could (although it doesn't always work like this) bring Ireland back into the fold and make him great again. He might be able to get Given to join us. He's young and can start a possible legacy. He saw a great manager work and you'd hope some of that rubbed off on him. He's NOT the finished article but he has a lot going for him. 1) We should never base the managers job on penny pinching. 2) I do not want Ireland back in the fold, this is the guy who "gave up" on this club which is a disgrace. 3) Given? After the comment you made about Hughes on a budget, where do we win by giving a massive last pay day to a goalkeeper when we can go get somebody who can stay in goal for 10 years? 4) Roy Keane watched a great man too. I said I'd try, I didn't say they'd be the best reasons!! I think a on-fire Ireland should not be sniffed at however and Given is one of only two or three decent keepers available to replace the outgoing Friedel. But more to the point, I was trying to point out that most managers out there would have 'upsides'. Bar McCLaren.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMB Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Come on guys we all know Deschamps is the best guy..He has achieved everywhere, he is young, modern, has all the right connections, he well respected.. Come-on he is a proper coach that will take us places. CHANGE YOUR VOTE to Deschamps.. Good effort , keep it up :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makouns_grin Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I just hope whoever it is supported from day one, rather than deciding before he has set foot in the door that he is shit, we have no ambition etc etc etc all that nonsense. The action of some fans of this great club have been nothing worse than appalling, up there with Barcode ones for ridiculous over the top statements every 5 mins.

villabromsgrove Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm a long term admirer of Moyes. Does anyone remember the way he got Preston North End playing? It was great to watch. Just imagine a Villa player saying no to Moyes in training or on matchdays .... then stand back and light the blue touch paper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irreverentad Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ben Smith from The Times has told me when asked if Hughes would take the Villa job: "In a heartbeat. I will be amazed if Mark Hughes is not the next AVFC manager" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
