Maradona10 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Mystery Man The Bent deal was kept under wraps for a while no one really had much of a sniff what was going on . If you had asked the majority of Villa supporters pre the Bent deal if we would spend 18 to 24 million on a proven striker of this calibre I bet most would say no our ambition is no better than say a Robbie Keane or Dejemba Ba . Think we may be surprised who we actually get but the one thing for certain is they won't rock the deal by going public on it until it's done !

Valhalla Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 What about van Gaal with AZ Alkmaar??? He went there won the league and got them in the champions league. I had never bloody heard of them before he went there ! Replace 'van Gaal' with 'McClaren' and 'AZ Alkmaar' with 'FC Twente'. I had heard of FC Twente plus look at McClaren with Boro, Wolfsburg and England now look at van Gaal with Ajax, Barcelona, Bayern and Holland no real comparison Boro was steves first managerial job. He won them a trophy and got them to a european final. Van gaal did well with much better teams,whats your point? Van gaal is clearly a way better manager but steve is not the mug people try and make him out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It might be interesting to stop thinking as fans for a moment (we all know what we want), and to try and imagine what Randy wants over the term of his next managers contract. It might point us to his target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioning the likes of Scholari, Van Gaal, Rijkaard, benitez gets me excited, full of hope, promise and something good to look forward to but I know is doubtful Mentioning the likes of Hughes, coyle, moyes, martinez creates instant boredom even though its most likely Mentioning Steve McClown fills me with fear, self loathing and suicidal tendancies.... I just can't take anymore....I am going to shut my eyes til Friday and then I'll either be happy or wanting to remove myself from this planet...I am an aetheist but just in case.

KHV Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Owen Coyle's achievements in 8 years of football management Honours Burnley * 2008–09: The Championship Playoff Winner (promotion to the Premier League) – Burnley * The Championship Manager of the Month - September 2008 Bolton Wanderers * Premier League Manager of the Month - November 2010 WOW I think that says it all really NO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me what Hughes has done? Tell me what Moyes has done? Crazy post! Exactly, which is why I dont want Moyes, Hughes or Coyle van Gaal all the way But what do you expect with those teams, CL winners?! They are a very limited number of honours and a hell of a lot of teams after them each year, you need to look at achievements in context of the clubs where they happened. For example Moyes achieving 4th with Everton might not mean any medals get handed out but it's still a great achievement. They can all survive in the premiership, are we all happy with that for Aston Villa or do we want to build and push on to the next level? I for one dont want to survive in the top half of the premiership which is why I think we need a van Gaal type coach. Been there seen it done it built academy teams good eye for young European talent. If Lerner wants to move Villa on this is the sort of coach he needs to give a 3-5 year plan to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its McClaren then I am going on a killing spree :shock: Please make sure it begins and ends at the McClaren residence, then we might get someone we want. If not......repeat.

IanTaylorforEngland Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 van Gaal is also renowned as an absolutely enormous prick. So? If your a prick but successful I dont care 8) Exactly.

catanzaro Posted June 8, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am convinced that the shock is ‘Ranieri’ and I would be pleased with that. Fits the criteria in that he has Premier League experience, is out of a job and has been reasonably successful without actually winning much. Just been to Ladbrookes and William Hills both of whom didn’t have him on their markets but when a call was made from both bookies I was only offerred 16-1 and 25-1 respectively. I took 50-1 on Paddypower and hope that my hunch is right! Thoughts on Ranieri? My family are aquainted with Ranieri, I think (hope) someone would have told me if it was imminent.

AshVilla Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 It might be interesting to stop thinking as fans for a moment (we all know what we want), and to try and imagine what Randy wants over the term of his next managers contract. It might point us to his target. Randy will state the ambition of the club with his next appointment. Will he want us competing for top 6? he will go all out to appoint moyes, top quality manager Or will he be happy with us scratching around at the bottom half of the table aiming for midtable every season under MugClaren, KFC Bargain Bucket type appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we may be surprised who we actually get but the one thing for certain is they won't rock the deal by going public on it until it's done ! That's spot on. The Bent deal, which was only a few months ago, showed that the board are prepared to show huge ambition. Not only that but they're good at keeping it under wraps. I think I remember Bent's name being mentioned on here as the possible "marquee signing" but that's all. Personally I think we're in for a pleasant surprise with regards to the manager. Here's hoping for Carlo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
