Folski Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Kalou and Bosingwa both released by Chelsea. Would suggest to me that DiMatteo is not being considered by Chelsea long term as both were reinstated as first team starters during his spell. Di Matteo is the most likely candidate in my opinion, the fact he won the champions league the board will go for him and lets face it we are up shit creeck and I cant see any paddles. Just going backing him on Betfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJohn2 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I think we will all be very surprised on who the new manager will be. I dont think the name even has been mentioned as a serious contender... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Whelan's just sweating because he knows full well there is only one reason that Wigan cling onto Premiership football, and the chances are that he's heading for the door. No wonder he's spouting cack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 CI, how can we get knocked back to something that WASN'T offered? OGS has stated himself we did not offer him the job, he ruled out being considered in the process, he has constantly said himself AVFC are looking at other candidates. This whole OGS saga was built up in Norway. Our media guys were saying OGS is an option however they have other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 i dont think RDM is as bad as some make out. rodgers flopped in his first management job but look at him now? so RDM didnt do great at west brom but how can anyone ignore a cup double? madness the guy beat barceloan for godness sake and won them CL something not even mourinho couldnt do. would much rather have him than martinez whose best achievement is keeping wigan up in the last 5 games RDM isnt my first choice but to rule him out completely is foolish considering the position we are in, we are not a top 6 club anymore unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Completely agree. What business is it of his to be making comments about our club?! He is a moron. Martinez signed a new deal last summer I think. A rolling deal, so he's out of contract, Whelan asked him for one more season which he gave.

Jarpie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The rebuff from OGS is a real blow IMHO Not only that we didnt get him worse still is the message it sends out What decent manager will come knowing we've been knocked back by not only the Wigan and probably Norwich manager But now also the Molde manager It sends out all the wrong signals If OGS told Lerner that he's out of the race in tuesday afternoon, why the hell didn't Villa put out press release stating that Vill have decided not to offer him contract before OGS/Rökke/Molde had a chance of going "OGS have rejected Villa"-route.

Richard Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 No to the 2 Roberto's I will be gutted if either is approachedI wouldn't be gutted with either. RDM is in the Meh group for me , not the gutted group. You also have to be realistic about where we are as a club, that controls the degree of guttedness. For me the groups are Gutted Group Strachan, Mcarthy, Grayson, Clark, Holloway, Withe, Bruce, Bradley, Ince, Grant, Mcallister, Southgate, Wlater Smith, Neil Lennon, Mclaren, Roy Keane, KMAC, John Gregory, Mcoist Meh Group RDM, Bentiez, Curbishley, Hoddle, Hughton, Sven, Klinsmann, Zola, Ranieri Yes I'd take these group Lambert, Adkins, Martinez, Poyet, Avb, Brendan Rodgers, Di Canio, Moyes, Bilic, Rijkaard, Capello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that you are right as I have been just been looking at the managers on the betting and I have to be honest, it excited me as much as looking at the ladies underwear section in a 1970's Freemans catalogue! :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Really don`t see how anyone can turn their noses up at di matteo and solksjaer got so much support. Ok you can look at his bad run at the baggies, before that he was getting praise. And you can say what you like to try and fit your argument, but the guy has just won the european cup with chelsea. Sorry that is a FACT. People seem to be working off emotion, a guy with one season in norway gets more support than a european cup winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Off topic I know but when we asked for permission to speak to Martinez last year I remember seeing Whelan on SSN talking about how professional we had been and he wished that every club acted as excellent as Villa. Then he's saying stuff like if Martinez left Wigan it should be for a bigger club than Villa. He's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The reason that Whelan talks up Martinez for the Liverpool job is he thinks he won't get it and that Liverpool will go for a bigger manager. Hence he keeps Martinez for another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
