Popular Post Stephen_Evans Posted October 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 I get the feeling the media and football world will love the next man to fall flat on his face. The outrage over Bruce being sacked by the Villa “clowns” is extraordinary. It shows how little these people have actually watched Villa and how blind they are to the reasons why things have not worked out. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 From the pre match presser it sounds to me like the appointment won’t take long. MacDonald sounds confident saying the new man will be in by the next league game. Even by next week potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 To be honest if we get Moyes I don’t think I can carry on with this. I’ve really had enough of the same shit, different season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he also said when Purslow rang him to take charge temporarily that Purslow also stated to him that they hope to make an appointment “reasonably quickly”. Sounds like the they know who they want to me.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeebra Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Moyes now odds-on at PaddyPower and Betfair (5/6). Odds-on usually infers there is some serious evidence to support the result. I'd guess Moyes has clearly stated his desire for the role, and that he's been seen in discussions with the board. However its pretty much evens, so probably no evidence yet to suggest they are accepting his application, and he's probably now their banker if nothing better materialises. With no evidence of anything better, he's therefore moving into odds-on territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know these are small and very speculative markets, and it doesn’t take much to move the odds, but I hope the people betting are just fools and don’t actually know anything.

TheStagMan Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I know it is very unlikely that he is even on NSWE's radar, but there is no way that I would want Moyes at this club. Why? Because we were not good enough for him in the past. He turned us down when we were in the Prem. We were not good enough for him. If we were not good enough for him then, he is not good enough for us now. I Don't want us to be his consolation prize now that his stock has fallen. We are Aston Villa, we are not someone's second choice. I would take Pardew or Fat Sam before Moyes. Moyes is absolutely bottom of my acceptable replacements for Bruce list, just below Holloway!

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 If it's Moyes then I'm throwing myself out of the nearest window. I'm on the ground floor so I'll be fine. But I'd like to think it would still send the appropriate message. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted October 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2018 Cabbages at the ready. .....I don't think any manager will make the mistakes Bruce did Apart from KMac who will start with the same team Bruce finished with, as he did when Lambert left, if my memory serves me correctly.

Reivax_Villa Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I have a feeling that our new manager is currently a free agent. I don’t want it to be, but I think it’s Henry or Carvalho. Problem with Carvalho is that he sets his teams up to defend not attack. The football was incredibly boring at Sheffield Wednesday which was why he got sacked.

wilko154 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I think the new manager will be announced today or tomorrow prior to kick off. They can then watch the game from the stands prior to starting on Monday. It sound's like a done deal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughes Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It is not going to be Moyes or Big Sam or anyone of that ilk. No effing way. These owners we now have are aiming much higher and my bet is on someone which has not even been mentioned here yet. Someone completely surprising with an international pedigree and who likely will drive this place into meltdown (not that it takes much for that to happen at VT), for better or for worse. That, or they have lined up a combo of Henry and Wenger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 In reality, Moyes may be the best we can do. This has been an enjoyable few days of Fantasy Football, selecting the manager of our dreams but effectively the choice of Champions League or Championship is always going to favour the former not latter. Plus the club is a financial basket case and has a rather unbalanced squad. Plus a proportion of fans are so up themselves they think it is appropriate to throw cabbages at their manager and then to celebrate doing so. So the best we can do is probably a damaged old hack like Moyes etc. or an inexperienced hopeful like Henry. Maybe I’m wrong. I await Mr Purslow’s solution with eager anticipation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
