Rodders Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 why go public on it at all? I'm sure Randy isn't chuffed with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 We approached Wigan 9 days ago according to Whelan. On talksport now. Fuming some of the shit be said about our great club....Whelan thinks Martinez should wait for Barcelona, Real Madrid or Man Utd that silly old clearing in the woods should be sectioned...I am getting annoyed at people slagging us off. Chelsea sacked Carlo ages ago and have no managerin place but they haven't been mentioned in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Why has Whelan only gone public on this today ? He's known for 9 days Because he has been on holiday too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Randy sent him a letter about a week (or 9 days ago) we knew this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Whelan also said when asked if he is ready for a bigger club yet, the answer was no. He says a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I'm worried now. I'm guessing RM has today told Whelan he wants the Villa job, hence Whelan goes public today trying to sway his mind suggesting he stays at Wigan for another year or so then takes one of the top 6 jobs in the world. Lerner thinks its job done so he's **** off home to the US and left Faulkner to cross the T's dot the I's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Martinez is under contract to wigan. If someone was after our manager I'm sure we would want to know about it. The world doesn't revolve around villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkery Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Whelan also said that Wigan's pies and gravy will one day be the worlds favourite food, he thinks they should stay in Wigan but admits he will struggle to hold on to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbo9 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I posted this on the Gen's thread yesterday "General. I'm sure that the board of Aston Villa will deliberate the appointment of the next manager very seriously indeed to ensure the mistakes of last season aren't repeated. I'm also sure that whoever you appoint will be briefed fully on the goals & and direction the board wish to take the club in. Whoever you appoint in my eyes will be an improvement on GH but thats just personal. The appointment you make now will indicate what the realistic goals for the future are. For example: Ancellotti - serious about pushing on to the level of CL football & attracting top quality players to VP Moyes - Serious about challenging for a top six position, UEFA cup football & attracting good solid quality proffesionals to VP Martinez - Serious about maintaining our premiership status and attracting players that want to use Villa as a stepping stone to other clubs & not really challenging for any honours unless we have a lucky cup run. McLaren - Serious about completely ignoring the feelings of the fans that you covet enough to take the time & effort to trawl through hundreds of emails weekly. If this guy is appointed then unfortunately the board will lose a lot of the trust & credibility, which is rightly deserved, with the fans. Appointing Maclaren after GH would be akin to replacing Gary Glitter as your baby sitter with Ian Huntley!!! General - the decision the board take on the next manager will not only send out a message to the fans on the boards ambition but also a message to the players and to the rest of football. Please bear in mind my comments." I stand by these words. Whichever manager the board appoints will send a message of its intention out. Can anyone here seriously tell me by appointing RM we are sending a message of intent of being serious about challenging for european places or domestic honours?? I'm not saying that the appointment of RM is right or wrong it just contradicts all the "5 year plan" "we want to challenge at the highest level" spin that we have been told by Randy & the board!!! There is having an opinion and then there's some keyboard warrior trying to belittle some of the best business brains in the country (working on the board). Who are you to tell the board what to do? You think they don't know that appointing a manager will also send out a message to the footballing world? Also, why are you so intent on putting in so many digs at the General? I don't know what's worse, you posting this drivel to the General about the club you 'support', or the fact that you've copied it on another thread in hope of support and encouragement? Smudge1874 ......... thats pathetic to be honest - embaressing even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you one of the ones that claimed we were doing nothing, yet 9 days ago we were contacting a chairman asking to speak to their manager. In fact i dont know why i even bother. It looks like that any new manager unless its a 'name' is going to get the same ridiculous treatment as the next one. At least give the bloke a chance before reading the future.

Oaks Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Whelan doesn't even know if we've even spoken to Martinez, he does chat a lot of shit though, "he will be good enough for a top 3 club in 12-18 months". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
