JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 shows what fans know eh... we'd have been 10 times better off with mclaren I was never as opposed to Maclaren as you lot were. Funnily enough I think the reason alot were opposed at the time was because they thought our club would be going for some decent manager, Steve being the worst on the shortlist. If only thry knew what was in store. I want to see us go for a manager with a reputation an ability to attract good players. I think we have ""small clubbed"" ourselves too much and its becoming entrenched in the culture throughout the club. We need to kick ourselves up the arse and remember who we are.

Denis_B Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 he distracted away from the fact that there has effectively been a signing freeze since db9 came in mmmmmmmmmmmmm...£20,000,000 spent byMcEck last summer excluding loan fee for Jenas, hardly a freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 but thats the point i think - villa spent 20m, and yet, we (or maybe its just me) get the sense that we weren't spending money, as we'd seen 4 big signings leave for good money, and ten leave for no money, and not seen another marquee player, save for perhaps zoggy come back in...

sne Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Randy will go for a big gun this time, that's my opinion I agree with CI, I think he will go for a lambert,rodgers,martinez,moyes.. someone like that, But I dont think he will completely ignore the fans like last season, I mean we managed to get him not to hire Mclaren and then he goes and hires Mcleish, i mean cmon... Im sure he will go for a more popular choice this time. I hope. Not sure i'd call Martinez, Lambert or Rogers "Big Guns", more like peashooters...

CI Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hoddle good with kids but that's not what we are after, we have that What we need is a top top coach, leader and figurehead at the club supported by an experienced DoF. That's if we want to compete again. If the agenda is purely survival year on year, yes then a Martinez or a Bruce is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Sorry, but Hoddle is toxic. As a manager he might be okay, but he is forever tainted by THAT comment. Regardless of whether you or I think it's a big deal, it would be a big deal. It would also not sit very well with Aston Villa's links to Acorns.

CI Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 For me Hoddle is a square peg in a round hole He's a London lad and has his academy in Spain Working in the midlands, don't think he'd ever settle or be a hit with the fans He also talks about himself in the 3rd person which is a worrying trait (see DOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Oh god no! Not Hoddle!! We might as well go for Raymond Domenech and go into the freakshow business. Hoddle is a loon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-Copenhagen Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hoddle would be great - he has strange beliefs but his football is great and he got the tactics as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 With regards to Hoddle you have to wonder why he hasn't managed a club for the best part of 6 years. So I looked up his record on Wiki whilst he was at his last job, and noted that he failed at Wolves mainly due to lack of goals and drawing half of his league games in the two seasons he was there. Sounds familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted May 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2012 Delio Rossi I'd like to see the bad eggs in the villa camp try to backchat him just the man we need ha! shame fiorentina are shite though. the radio here this morning have been saying that ljajic was asking for it! from italy i'd love to see crazy mad zeman from pescara at villa park. football genius who has a great history with bringing through kids. i don't think ranieri would be a bad shout. he built a very good chelsea side before abramovic came along and deserved to take it on further. from spain, bielsa!!!! anyone who follows tim vickery's blog knows why if we have to limit ourselves to premier league tunnel vision then martinez before lambert for me...

Don_Simon Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 For me, its Martinez all day long. Wanted him when we originally approached in June last year, havent changed my mind since. Also, is it right that his contract runs out in June? Im sure I read that somewhere, (may even have been in this thread), which I think would appeal to Randy. Equally, i'd like Lambert too. A proper winner with the record to show it. Unlike our current incumbent who wouldnt get respect from the football team I play for on a rainy Sunday night in Shropshire.

ulstervilla Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Ian Holloway, we need someone to play attacking football and bring a smile and some fun back to Villa Park. For me it has become very dour and depressing. We need charisma back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it has become very dour and depressing. We need charisma back. The same bloke that labelled us a "half arsed club"? Yeah id love him in the dugout. He's a cretin and shouldnt be allowed within a 100 mile radius of VP. But youre right about the charisma thing, it definitely wouldnt be boring.
