Richard Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Not keen at all on a dof role, just can't see the benefit it just adds to the confusion. Sure we need better football knowledge at the club, but where it counts in charge of te team. The manager will meet with the board regularly and the CEO almost daily. Any decent manager will not want a dof looking over his shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 So what happened to Steve Clarke? If he's free then get the chap in. Lambert/Clarke doesn't look bad at all. Not many managers will have there number 2 imposed on them. Appoint the manager let him get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Kevin Mcdonalds odds have crept in quite a bit. Could this be due to the radio silence - ie we haven't approached anyone - so maybe its internal ? Good a bloke as he is - him and Mcarthy are on my unacceptable list. an ounce of effort and we can do better. Either of these would also indicate to me that Lerner has little interest - other than balancing the books and finding a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalhead_villain Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 @AVFCMysteryMan reporting on Twitter "£20 Million for Lambert if it has to be AVB with a DOF £30+ Million" He has then been having conversations with a few other people tweeting back saying "AVB's people have been in contact with Villa" Hey, it's probably a load of bollocks, but I personally think it would be a good move for AVB and for us.

coda Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 There's nothing quite like Twitter and oddschecker to fuel baseless speculation. Mick McCarthy FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Face it, we're not going to know until it's almost wrapped up. I remember last year thinking it wasn't going to be McLeish even when the odds plummeted. Now McCarthy's being linked with us but it probably won't be him so even if another manager's odds suddenly crash they're no guarantee it'll be him either. Come on MM, send something our way!

LoughboroughLion Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 This AVB speculation is really not helping us. Raising expectations that will only be slashed if/when someone of a lesser caliber is hired. Having said that, I wouldn't be disappointed with Rodgers AVB > Rodgers > Lambert > Poyet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancharlie Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 i would bloody love it to be AVB. All we need to do then is sign M'Vila, David Villa and Aston from JLS and we have theme to our team. in all seriousness AVB would be great. He has so much to prove in England and to remove the Mourinho shadow by going on a different and slightly more treacherous yet more rewarding path to greatness!

jat_r Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 AVB will never happen as we will never match his wages at Chelsea. He is still being paid in full by Chelsea, why give up that paycheck to come to Villa? Makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I wouldn't be disappointed with Rodgers AVB > Rodgers > Lambert > PoyetNo one seriously thinks we'll get him. Would be amazing if we did and I'm sure everybody would welcome him but we're being more realistic this time around. It was absolutely horrible going from Ancelotti to Alex **** McLeish last time.

Yeah, nobody is actually expecting him. I do think fans will be disappointed if we don't get a Martinez, Lambert, Rodgers, Poyet or someone of that calibre...

villarich1982 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Lambert or Rodgers, although I can't see Rodgers leaving Swansea. Outside punt, Hughton although I don't know if Randy is going to go sniffing around SHA for a manager any time soon. i think it's safe to say that he will stay a million miles away from SHA when he's looking for the next Villa boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I take it this is the same twitter @avfcmysteryman that said Moyes was a dead cert last time round and signed off with a flurry of haha shit on the villa kro messages when it turned out it wasn't happening.
