Disco Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 MsiDouglas: MacDonald as head coach, Houllier as director of football at avfc? Houllier is excellent but has that set-up EVER worked? Aye pretty much every team abroad has had success that way. Chelsea n all use this system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Donadoni interested. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6355015,00.html This has the feeling of the longest running managerial saga ever. Any preference who do you want in, Brummie? To be entirely honest, I find it hard to choose who I'd prefer, it changes every day as new names are mentioned. The betting market on this has been insane. However, I know who I don't want: Curbishley, Southgate, Bradley, McDonald. There are some I'd accept: Svennis, Houllier. Then there are loads more who sound decent, but I don't know if I want them because they're names, or because they're sensible choices. Either way, it really is an amazing period. There's someone on VillaTalk who works at Bham airport and has access to plane movements and passenger lists, and has been listing Lerner's plane's movements the last two weeks. He's been all over Europe by all accounts. Was, intriguingly, in Paris yesterday. Milan two weeks ago. The carbon footprint of this whole process must be immense.

Interesting to see you wouldn't mind Sven. I remember when he was linked with the Newcastle job and I thought noooooooooooooo! Colin Murray hinted Phil Brown could be up for the job on MOTD2. I wouldn't want to wish that on anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gggg Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The last thing you would get Houllier for is his signings. Baffling if they give him control of that area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Don't really get why anyone would rate Sven. Managers like Bruce and Curbishley who never do anything except tread water are rated as decent Premier League managers, so why wouldn't Sven who has had success at pretty much every club be rated unless you're a thick ingerland supporting twat like Ian Wright who thinks English should win the World Cup and still hold a grudge.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't buy the myth that Sven was shite at England like, we got to th quater finals in the 3 tournaments he was here, look whats happened after he was sacked... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose had been there for a year, won the Premiership. Arnesen comes in, as (supposedly) a glorified head scout, starts to exert influence after a while and Mourinho eventually tell's them where to shove it. Example A : The collosal fuck up that was Shevchenko... all that was mostly Cousin Roman. Same thing happened at Tottenham with Jol. Levy finally learnt his lesson, and now they are in the Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see you wouldn't mind Sven. I remember when he was linked with the Newcastle job and I thought noooooooooooooo! I thought the same (and still do), but the reason I think he might also be a decent move for Villa is all about context. Given who their other choices are at this time, and given who their choices might be at the end of the season, bringing Sven in doesn't seem such a bad move - he's got some qualities as a manager and he's a total mercenary. I'm sure it can be arranged so that he won't have a huge long contract and he isn't the kind of guy to try and set up a 'system' at the club and seriously demand three seasons before success comes. Basically, he can be an impact signing. Willing to turn up and do a decent job but not too hard to fuck off once you want a better long term appointment. I have similar (though a bit less hostile) feelings about Houllier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a team preety much much built around Jose's players or players that pre-dated them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoU Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Houllier seems to be a good appointment, but Villa as a club might be on a low. All things considered they were overachiving a bit under O'Neill. Will be interesting to see if they will stick with Houllier if they hit a bad run, because they will sooner or later. He will be alright for them if they do. Should stick a IMO on that entire post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
