And there is no guarantee of success here. Far from it. Edited October 3, 2018 by Mic09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a long shot, sure, but let's face it, he's no different to Rodgers. Yeah, they get a bit of CL football, but christ, who wants to be chilling in the Ukraine top flight for their career? Ambitious? Sure. Impossible? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has worked in England and plays very attacking football Only issue is that with Mexico when they lost they took a beating it is quite an odd shout for me as he just joined Paraguay recently but i think that would mean he would be attainable. But I think he would be an excellent appointment as well Edited October 3, 2018 by Villaphan04 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Anyone who embraces the concept of pass and move football. I'd love Dean Smith to be given the opportunity, who knows ? Could be hand in glove. I bet when Liverpool first appointed Bill Shankly, they considered him somewhat of a gamble. Look how that turned out, he built a philosophy that went on to dominate not just English football, but Europe too. That boot - room thing was something. Maybe Smith could become our Shankly, thing is, we won't know unless we give him the chance. I think he would walk here such is his passion for the club. You can sense it whenever he talks about the Villa. And that's what we as supporters need, someone who will connect with us . Please, no more turgid football managers, they'll be the death of me.

Villaphan04 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Also would look at Osorio as mentioned on the other thread. Though now it seems that we have become a relatively attractive proposition for managers. Hopefully this means some foreign coach is the man for us. (Dean Smith/Chris Wilder would be decent shouts as well). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Paulo Fonseca is a manager who has his team playing in a way that people analyse his tactics with admiration, and without air quotes around the word tactics. This is in contrast to our recent manager(s). So yeah he would be a step up for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Looks like Rodgers is the stand out favourite with the cabbage and other Fonseca neck and neck in second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 It's sounding more like we will try and bring someone down from the premiere league from the way the media is saying it. Also a chance of rafa benitez as media suggests but may not be possible due to the relationship between purslow and him. It's like waiting for a present isn't it?
