GaztonVilla Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I used to like you, Eames. Now, when I'm lying in bed tonight with the screeching tones of Alanis Morrisette in my head, I will forever curse you and your typing fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz-Villan Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Our next manager should be somebody who is prepared to walk that extra mile for the job, a brave man, a strong man, and a man of integrity. That man may well be in our midst.Yes our next manager should be all of those things and if McLeish takes the job then he may very well tick all of those boxes. But he must also get results on the pitch and the evidence to date suggests that may not happen. As well as obviously taking the noses down twice, he managed to 'guide' Rangers to 3rd in the SPL. Quite an impressive achievement in a 2 team league. Being a 'good manager' is a much more important box to tick than the size of the man's cojones or his ambition. And that's the point here. He just doesn't appear to me to be someone worth chasing, ignoring his association with them. this is bang on for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villafan101 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Just seen Curbishley being interviewed on Sky Sports and he talked a lot of sense. Would take him any day over McLeish, but wouldn't have said that a few weeks ago. He did have a knowing smile when asked if he would take the Villa or SHA job, so who knows.

steaknchips Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The problem we have is that the fans will be on his back from day 1.. Instead of an eagerly awaited and excitement of the new season, there will be negativity in the stands. Which all know breeds and spills over onto the team performance.. We could very well be in a relegation dog fight beofre Xmas comes along. Then it may be another case of searching for another manager before the January window kicks in.

Alec Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Setting aside the usual supposition work, this is actually quite a balanced piece from today's Guardian that rings fairly true. http://bit.ly/kUNjS0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh I'm going to enjoy this one: "Pround History Bright Future was a five year plan which arguably has left us worse off at the end than we were are the start." Go on then. Argue it. How are we worse off than 5 years ago. Enlighten me. Five years ago I had enormous optimism and a real faith in what we could achieve - I don't have any real hope for the next five years Do you think we are any closer to a CL spot as we stand today? Managerless, our support in disarray and our best players leaving - hardly progress in my mind So your arguement that Aston Villa are now in a worse position than 5 years ago is based on the fact that you have run out of faith. Well thank you for that. Well done. Don't become a lawyer. Its not for you. 16th, 6th,6th,6th,9th - YES I believe we ARE closer to a CL spot that we were 5 years ago. 7 places closer in fact. So you think we are closing in on a Champions League spot do you? Dream on. O'Neill, Houllier, McLeish - You think that's progess? Wow how deluded are you From 2000 to 2005 our average position was 9th (8th, 8th, 16th, 6th,10th) - last season we were 9th. That's not progress in my book.

b6bloke Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 IMO the club will have to back him big and immediatly. Foster, nzobia and adam will arrive in the first couple of day imo. Sadly I hear Gardener :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudge1874 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I posted this on the Gen's thread yesterday "General. Snip........ 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? Quite agree, I read that post and cringed. The simplistic attitude of some people makes baby jesus cry "Best business brains in the country" - Alienate 75% of your customers then tell them you don't give a shit what they think..take it and lump it. I will accept your apology in writing only. Find your coats & fetch em!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJohn2 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 SSN: But with McLeish understood to be in talks with club owner Randy Lerner in London, it appears he could be confirmed as the new Villans boss in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
