larry Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Interesting article saying Martinez may still be in the mix http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/31/paul-lambert-roberto-martinez-villa That would make wheelan look a prat !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 So it looks like RM had a couple of chances to go to bigger clubs and he has missed the buss on both. I'm not a fan of RM & this does on the face of it shout unambitious however I think take money & compo aside he's played a smarter game than Rodgers who I doubt will last long at Liverpool The ex players Lawro Hansen etc have already sharpened their knives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Would much prefer Martinez to be honest, but Lambert would be a good appointment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I think lambert suits our style more.. Not sure about martinez, how would he handle the big ego's Dunne,Collins,Warnock,Ireland.. I suppose he handled N'zog well.. But I just think Lambert's counter attack style suits Villa better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know it has severe limitations. I for one am tired of it and would love to see passing football down VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've met Martinez before, had quigte a long chat with him. He's a top guy who lives for football. If we did approach him and he chose to stay at Wigan though, it does make you question his ambition...again, that is a big IF! I met him too when Swansea played my local side Horsham in the second round of the FA Cup, he is a total gentleman and showed total respect to the club (unlike the likes of AFC Wimbledon whilst making their way up the divisions, but that's a different story). Whatever happened, Whelan is a gobshite who must make things incredibly hard for Martinez. I hope RM continues to exceed expectations playing good football and keeping them in the division. As for Lambert I am delighted and is just the right type of manager for us all to get behind. Just get the contract signed plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Lambert can get us playing that, then great lol.. But Passing Possession football also has its limitations, just ask Barca when they played chelsea , So yeah don't get me wrong, I would love to see Villa playing Beautiful Passing fluid football, and if lambert can bring that, I won't complain....But I would be more than Happy to get rid of the Counter Attacking Tag...But possession and passing also has its limitations. What ever Lambert brings to Villa will be an improvement on the Defensive shitty tactics of the Last manager.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think Lambert will bring that to our players that have been starved of the ball by AM tactics...But that does make sense, hopefully Lambert can come in and give our players some Confidence on the ball, to just slow the play down and string some passes together..

Super-Villan Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Sorry, style is important to me, and I won't simply sacrifice it to grind out results. Getting back to winning ways is important in the sense that we shouldn't be in a relegation battle next season. But more important than simply climbing the table straight away is a manager who'll come on and lay the foundations for a successful side for many years to come, even if that means an up and down start for them.

Ulver Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I like Martinez a lot as a man and a manager. And i'd love to see Wigan relegated if he wasn't in charge of them But as it looks like he is I can only hope they continue to stay up The game needs more managers with his style/philosophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If we did talk to Martinez last week I wonder what is was about the Villa package that he didn't like? There's no DOF, he would have had oversight of all football related matters, training facilities to die for including the indoor facilities that DW has agreed to build to keep him at Wigan. Money might be tighter at Villa these days but surely not as tight as the Wigan budget. After OGS and now apparently RM have decided that AVFC is not for them, are Villa really such a poor option, or are we just failing to do a decent job of selling ourselves to prospective managers.

Not sure where you're getting your info from but OGS wasnt offered the job and Martinez approached us, not the other way around and so also wasnt given the opportunity to turn the job down.
