StanBalaban Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My uncle used to be Martin Laursen's left ear lobe. He says Laursen is joining a team that doesn't even play in it's own national league. Toronto Maple Leafs? :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Interestingly this was tweet from his homeland announcing Laursen's resignation earlier & no mention of scfc in it at all - only avfc. Danish Football News @DanishFooty Former Aston Villa defender Martin Laursen resigns as coach for the club BSV (Sollerod-Vedbaek). #avfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMFy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Word wedi ei bod Martin Laursen wedi rhoi'r gorau i'w swydd a bydd yn mynd i Abertawe Saw this from a welsh journo on twitter...anyone fancy a crack at trying to translate?? Aberwate is the Welsh name for Swansea, but that's the limit of my Welsh.Stupid Welsh. Can't even spell Swansea properly. It's Abertawe. /Buzz Killington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Not saying Laursen wouldn't go to join Laudrup at Swansea...but he was interviewed on Talksport about Paul Lambert's appointment and AVFC a couple of weeks ago. Said he was taking his coaching badges in Denmark and would love to go into management one day back in England to manage Aston Villa - that was his dream. He didn't mention any other club - just coming back to manage Villa............ Bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Been on holiday the last two weeks so had better things to do than post on here Have to say I am over the moon with this appointment. He was easily my first choice way over any of the other candidates. I think he is a perfect fit for us and with decent backing will get us back in to the top 8 at least over the next couple of seasons. Fair play to Faulkner and Lerner as well. I have given them plenty of stick after their previous two **** ups in appointing Houllier and McLeish but they have got this one spot on. It is only half the job though and he will need to be backed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Gabby's comments about "counter-attacking football coming back to Villa" are a bit worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I hope so. I want to see attacking football but what I really don't want to see is counter-attacking football, or rather pure counter-attacking like what we had under MON. Counter-attacking can be useful in certain games but having it as your plan A is not a good idea at all. I want us to take the game to other teams and be the ones on the front foot for the most of the game. Even now our team is clearly built around counter attacking. That's all we can really do with any competence. I'm just sick of seeing us on the back foot for the majority of the time in most of our games. Even under MON when the squad was very good and we were finishing top 6 we still spent most of the time defending desperately and letting teams come at us.

Ginko Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Agreed, I'm concerned about this too but I'm quite confident that at least we'll go out there to try to win these games and we'll definitely be more exciting. A part of me worries that we may have resorted back to familiar territory in terms of an approach and tactics and that we missed an opportunity what with players already having been let go and the wage bill being a bit more manageable, it might have been a really good time right now to bring in a manager who changes our style into something more attacking and possession-based. I'm not having a go at Lambert before he's started, I'm happy we have him. But I'm still just a little concerned, especially since Swansea seem to be close to appointing Michael Laudrup who I was quite keen on for us. I'll back Lambert though and time will tell.
