Mattansell Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 My two pence for what its worth.. From the evidence available to me I am quite confident that AM will not be the next Villa Manager. This is from a mixture of what in my opinion are sources I would take over what I am told by the media Circus, the same media circus who in the last 2 weeks alone have at some point guaranteed 1 of at least 5 managers with the next 24 hours etc.. the fact is they don't know there arse from their elbow when it comes to this board and they build up on what little snippets they can get until it spills over and people start to take it as gospel, FFS you only have to look at the number of players at team get linked with in the papers and how many actually happen for an example of this. Love your optimism my friend but can I have a bit of what your smoking? And now this statement from the BCFC board just makes me think it's even more unlikely, it's just not the way that this board works what the **** have they done in the last 5 years to deserve such vitriol? do you think they have had a mental breakdown and suddenly have no clue what to do? The appointment of GH may not have panned out as planned, but you could see the logic to it and it met all of the criteria mentioned in the statement tonight. That leads me on to statements the only things we have heard officially are in regards to Martinez and Interviewing AM, the first of these were driven by Whelan mouthing off to the press who in turn make up their own story which suddenly is stated as fact on talkshite, SSN, so we make a statement which rubbishes all the shite that the media had been pedaling by clarifying that it was decided days ago that we were not even meeting Martinez, if whelan hadn't mouthed of none of these facts would be in the public domain and people would still be of the mantra he turned us down. Tonights statement in my opinion was made due to the constant moaning and whining of the want it now generation and is very carefully worded are we the **** going to employ AM, if you go back and read it again the whole statement is a contradiction to them employing AM as he meets none of the aforementioned criteria GH did , the only reason he is mentioned (right at the bottom I may add) is because the BCFC chairman has come out and mentioned us (similar to Whelan) other wise I think that paragraph would not have been on there and it would just have been a statement to appease, finally the reason they do go into detail is to show that the fact he has been at BCFC should not stop him from being able to apply and be interviewed and rightly so, thats all it doesn't say he has the job, that is the medias take. There has never been anything official on Hughes, Ancelloti, Jol, Mclaren, Benitez, Moyes all anyone is going on is what the media have drummed up, maybe there are some grains of truth in what has been said about any of the above candidates the only way we would / will ever know is with official statements. Personally I fully expect David Moyes to be the new Villa manager come 1st of July It's like you read my mind - perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Reading the statement again it says should he be the best candidate for the role of Aston Villa manager. Surely if he was the only candidate he would be the best one, is there more candidates that have or will be interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Utterly embarrassed by the reaction of most of our support, this is not 'Villa's darkest day' or any of that tripe, this is a day where we potentially appoint a very good manager who happens to have previously managed our local rivals. Grow up!It's not Villa's darkest day but McLeish is not a good manager either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I fully expect David Moyes to be the new Villa manager come 1st of July You are gonna be disappointed! If Blues succeed with there injunction - doesn't that leave villa in the very position that they have been so keen to avoid - No manager for pre season training. - What a f*n Mess I doubt Blues will get there injunction. Pannu has been too loose lipped on contract details, the e-mail and the statement on the website pretty much saying that if AM did not get them up next season he would be sacked. I am sure we have covered ourselves also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We're **** if he gets the job. Come back Gerard all is forgiven!The worst thing about that is is that if it wasn't for his damn heart I expect the board would have kept him on. It's lose lose. He has to quit football and live in increased risk of having more heart problems and we end up with McLeish. Then again, we wouldn't in our wildest dreams imagine we'd end up with McLeish. Surely Randy must have consulted with Houllier who should be the next manager? If so, then surely Houllier must have said something on the lines of "NO BLOODY WAY" at the mere suggestion of McLeish?

steve-67 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Here's a thought Mcleish comes to villa & we get relegated & McClaren steers Forest into the premier league. And all the pies at Villa Park will be of the "humble" variety I won't. I voted for McLaren in both polls as soon as they came out. Moyes was never going to leave Everton, Ancelotti never going to come. Schteve has a much better record than most on here give him credit for. I'm not English so couldn't give two shits that he failed to get a bunch of overpaid prima donna wanabe celebrities to qualify for a tournament. That many on here would have prefered Martinez is both laughable and frightening. McClaren has found his level IMO. The fact you are not English will dilute the disgust that we English have for the job he did with England. I would ask you to respect that. Just as I respect that you feel McClaren would have done a good job at Villa, and perhaps have been a better appointment than McLeash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julzdyer Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 cant name names, but have been advised of this : McLeish is first choice but Lerner is concerned about the fans reaction. Source: inside Villa is all I'll say. Season ticket sales matter I guess. Keep an eye on the fans forums because if they are in any way positive towards AM then he'll be signed. so, say NO to McLeish.............you have been warned! posted this sunday 343 pm never ever thought it would come true!

He ain't coming.... and whilst i don't know who is....i would say as a non betting man....McLEISH....with abit of ITK to support me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
