nik986 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ideal managerial set up. Realistic. I.e. Moyes with Laursen and Cowans as assistants for example. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-67 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Think about it, apparantly someone totally off the radar that has Premier League experience, it HAS to be Walter Smith!! Would be happy with that. More short termism, he's 63 and hardly one for the future. I have a sneaky feeling that you could be on to something though. I'd hope for someone better though.

Mantis Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm not ITK or anything but I reckon that in 48 hours we'll either have Ancelotti in place as Villa manager or Moyes will have resigned from Everton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarich1982 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 MM on H&V says that he thinks Bent is about to "have a meltdown"......not sure over what or why, but I don't like the sound of that at all... I just pissed myself - you are kidding right? hahahahahahahahaha! Are you for real dude? :? I think you need to sit down, relax, and then slowly re-read the article again, four or five times dude. If you still think Bent's in meltdown, I'd ask your Mum or Dad, or someone else in a position of trust to read it to you again n hopefully the penny will drop. If it doesn't then there really is no hope for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jat_r Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm still going with Pelligrini. Got the highest number of points ever for Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shambles Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm hoping it's Roberto Martinez now, the more I think about it, the more I like the idea. The football we could play with Makoun, Bannan, Albrighton and Downing in midfield being coached by him would be wanktastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordanderve Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 ~rehash from a post I made on another site~ I am telling you fella’s, I am convinced it will be Ranieri and I will take that as a good appointment. No evidence or ITK but I believe that the similarities between the Houllier appointment and Ranieri are too similar. Ranieri is someone who retains alot of respect throughout the footballing World and I duly note the fact that he has not won much in his career but he has constantly been shafted but numerous board owners of large clubs who chop and change every season. How many people would take a number of past Madrid managers who have been sacked for under performing by finishing second? Napoli – finished 4th and introduced Zola to the team following the departure of Maradona. Fiorentina – gained promotion from Serie B and won the Coppa Italia & SuppaCoppa with a ‘sleeping giant’ team. Valencia (first spell) – Was the manager that got them back on track and qualified for the Champions League for the first time. Credited with creating the team which Rafa took onto future success (similar to what is suggested about Rafa with GH team?). Chelsea – In my opinion, put the foundation of the team together for Mourinho and harshly sacked (I am not suggesting that Mourinho is a bad manager!) Valencia – won the Super Cup but was knocked out of the Champions League and suffered a 5 – 1 defeat to Inter. Criticised for his Italian signings and sacked whilst 6th in La Liga. Parma – took over towards the end of the season with Parma in a relegation battle. He made several impressive results to help Parma survive their relegation battle, obtaining 17 points in 10 matches (to be compared to his predecessor’s 15 points in 23 matches). Juventus – Took them to 3rd place in Serie A the season after they were promoted from Serie B which in Italy was considered an achievement. Ranieri was sacked in May 2009 in a season when they ended up finishing 2nd! Harsh to say the least but fans didn’t forgive a bad 2 month spell when they lost the championship to Inter. Roma – Took over for the 3rd game of the season after the previous manager had lost the first 2 games of the season. Ranieri transformed their season and they led the championship with 4 games to go. Roma were his boyhood club and during the 10/11 season, Ranieri resigned following criticism from his home fans in February 2011. Claudio Ranieri is not a champion with a track record of winning title after title but how many previous Villa managers have been? Ranieri is proven to be able to take numerous teams to the business end of the season competing for cups and championships. He is use to not having a massive amount of money to spend and getting results. It is apparent that he does still ‘tinker’ alot which seems to rile fans and he has a tendency to have bad runs of form. In my opinion, his manager record is excellent and although I too would love and hope Moyes is our next manager, I certainly wouldn’t be despondent if Mr Ranieri ended up at Villa Park and I hope our fans would support him and give him a chance. I have an awful lot of time for our board and I wouldn’t swap Randy for anyone. I believe Randy would stick with Ranieri through any bad patch and I think Ranieri would be good for Villa. He has a track record of bringing through kids, and I for one, would be excited if he was our next manager. Sorry for the long post, UTV (and I have Ranieri at 50-1)! When you put it like that.... It sounds like he would be a great appointment I agree and the more I think about it, the more I want him.I can't believe that more people are not seriously considering Ranieri. I just don't get the 'failure' tab when he has been treated so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
