Neil Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 in order, my preference would be: Jol Hughes Moyes Ancelotti :shock: Surely that list is upside down? I would have you right for that one mate as it now makes a lot more sense if I read it upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisNichollsToe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thinking about it a lot I don't want Ancelotti. He is a manger who manages big names and big egos that's his skill. He's not an inspirational manager who will inspire more average players to perform. I can't see him pulling any good value signings off either. He just isn't the sort of manager you need at our level - if he became Villa manager I think that we would see a similar scenario to what happened with Ramos at Spurs ... Although, I think as someone mentioned further back when Ancelotti was being mentioned as something of a pipe-dream, if he was to come along with Ray Wilkins at his side, that may be a different story. Wealth of misinformation here, the guy made a name for himself by promoting a serie b side then managing a club in a very similar situation to Villa and taking them into the champions league. His signings were modest and were not on anywhere near the wages our club can offer today. Fair enough the money has inflated since then as has his reputation, but you people saying all he does is manage clubs with bags of money is farcical. The man is proven at all levels, an absolutely world class manager which unfortunately for us, leads me to believe we have no chance of getting him. There is one chance, but there is no indication that we can either afford it, or more relevant, want to sanction it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catanzaro Posted June 3, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2011 I keep checking the Corriere Dello Sport and there is no mention on it that Ancelotti has rejected us. There is a video piece on their website but I can't see it due to my work access restricting it. http://www.corrieredellosport.it/video/tg_calcio/2011/06/03-32282/Ancelotti+verso+l%27Aston+Villa If there are any italian speakers out there you may want to check it out...

I'd probably pop Ancelotti into second place myself and then Hughes/ Moyes equal third as I think they are, in fact, the same person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have you right for that one mate as it now makes a lot more sense if I read it upside down. lol - good one Its just my opinion. I've discussed many times in this thread why i'm not that keen on Ancelotti compared to those 3 other managers. But Ancelotti would still be my fourth choice out of all the managers available (obviously excluding the dream ones such as Mourinho, etc) so its not like i'm anti-Ancelotti.

R.Bear Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Fans who wouldn't be completely over the moon and ecstatic if we got Ancelotti are strange. Fans who don't want Ancelotti should be sectioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with doubts about Ancelotti should reread this post. He took over Parma who are a similar club to ourselves and got them to second in the Italian League with modest signings. He's been successful at every club he's been at and is still relatively young. He out of our league in terms of managers but if the stars align we might just have a chance of pulling it off.

It actually just says Ancelotti is the favourite for the job, then goes on about other candidates. Nothing much in there really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
