Danwichmann Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Why, is GMAC still there? I assume so, as he hasn't been mentioned in any of the official statements. Makes sense to keep someone in charge of footballing thinks while we're in between managers and I guess his future will be assessed once a new manager is installed.

Ionic Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Surely if Ancelotti does come in Lerner must of told him he'd back him in the transfer window with a fair bit of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 If we get Ancelotti & Wilkins we will be in the Champions League within 2 years Its utter nonsense like this that gives Villa fans the fickle reputation we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coops_AVFC Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sounds like alot of money is going on Ancelotti now then, down to 5/2 on paddy power. Sure he was about 16s last night/this morning. Won't get carried away with the speculation, but, if only....*prays* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 2, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2011 If Ancelotti comes here then Ash and Downing will sign new contracts before the inks dried on Carlo's. I can see Downing staying possibly but Ash is a Man Utd player already imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I don't really understand the overexcitement with Ancelotti. He's only ever worked at clubs where being champions was the expected return and was financially backed to that aim. Whilst he'll get some money if he comes to Villa, it won't be of the same level as at Milan and Chelsea and he would have to attract players without having the allure of CL football. Who knows how he would fare at Villa? I would much prefer Hughes. He seems like a man of integrity and whilst he hasn't achieved major success yet he can reflect on his managerial CV with some pride. He gives the impression of being driven, single-minded and still with something to prove. I just think he seems like the perfect fit for both parties. I'd be surprised if Randy didn't see it that way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Villan Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I voted Hughes, though the thought of Ancelotti is quite exciting, I have to admit. I still think Young will leave regardless of if Ancelotti joins us. His joining is not a guarantee of success, and if Man U are in for him I'd expect him to go there.

Villan1957 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just seen this on BBC sports News website Aston Villa contact Premier League rivals Fulham to assure them that they have not been in contact with Cottagers boss Mark Hughes despite speculation linking him with their managerial position. So what do we read into that :bonk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
