Bob Bradley in?

 

Sounds like it.  Hadn't hinted about resigning before MON went.

Replacing O'Neill with Bob Bradley is sheer insanity, Lerner must have either lost it just wants a "yes" man in place. Villa don't know how lucky they have been to have a manager like MON, I'd have him here in a heartbeat.

If he can fall out with Lerner he has no hope with Scrooge McFatfuck.

It's a huge risk. Coaching the USA national team and Managing a premiership team are two completely different things. But there's not much out there, perhaps they think he's got the most potential, they might be right but it's a gamble, since he's got zero experience in a high profile league.

Was a good gig managing the US, every win was a plus and enhanced his reputation and his country's (as well as MLS), he could fall back and us 'PATRIOTIC PRIDE' as motivational spiel. Going to be tough for him at Villa where they'll be expecting wins, and Eurotrips.

Sure I've just heard on SSN that the rumours of Bradley leaving are false and he's actually in talks over extending his contract... ???

Like McClaren at Twente? O0

SSN are saying it, I'm just passing it on.

Not really sure what they're game is, if they really wanted him so bad they could've extended his contract months ago. Everyone's pretty much assumed that his time will come to an end here and we'll move on to another manager to take us further than Bob did. I would think it's just some sort of publicity tactic.
