cje1874 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I have thought of someone; he's an authoritative Scottish - Scottish managers are generally very good. Doesn't take shit Never answers a direct question - good for press conferences enjoys spending other peoples money Is faultless (apparently) Currently not under contract knows his football I seriously hope your not talking about Graeme Souness.

Undesirable Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Got to be Martin Jol for me, the only one who could hope to fill Martin's boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseoftomorrow Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 As an American, NO WAY do I think Bradley is a suitable manager for Villa. If you thought that MON stuck to a small rotation of players, just wait and see what Bradley does. His stubbornness cost us the Ghana game, and he's never had any luck with picking 11 during big games. The style of football he plays is horribly unattractive, and I sincerely believe he can't manage a decent attack. It scares me that Americans want this to happen to create some sort of U.S. National Farm system. As if this could possibly be a realistic scenario (I'm sure that this hasn't made it to the boards yet). I've already made a bet with American blogger soccerbyives, saying that if Bradley makes it four years, and gets this squad to 6th I'll give money to a charity of his choice. Not only is that a shot at Bob Bradley, who lost the U.S. too many games, but a compliment to MON, who managed to make his players overachieve every season. Bradley will never get Villa to overachieve, considering that the United States only managed to play above their talent a hand full of times in the last four years (Confeds cup, and maybe 1 or 2 other games). Bob Bradley, no thanks. Give me Jol, Klinnsman, or anyone else. If Bradley wants to go to Europe I'd encourage it. Just stay away from my club, and take another job in Europe that gets you away from my National team. Yeah, I'm a little bitter about Bradley.

MaseVilla Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Sorry, but i'm not going through the 36 pages of this thread to type this message but I will say this. Whoever comes in out of the rumoured candidates, I will back them 110%. BUT, if it is Gareth Southgate I will probably shout abuse at him (not the players) for 90 minutes home and away all season til he does one. Note: Immature I know, but his comments when he left us have stuck with me to this very day. He thought he was bigger than the club, and now wants the managers job? **** OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 not sure if its been mentioned but does anyone know anything about the sort of coaches/managers that Randy has employed for the browns. Has he taken experienced coaches? controversial characters? up and coming coaches? Might give us a rough idea about the sort of person we should expect.

mjmooney Posted August 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't quite understand the hatred of Southgate. His criticisms weren't aimed at the fans or the club itself, but squarely at Doug Ellis, whom he said lacked ambition. Which is exactly what we were all saying. This is a man who came into the club and was shocked to find no pictures of the Saunders/Barton team, so he stuck one up in the dressing room, and told the other players "THESE guys should be our role models". Ellis had it taken down. I don't want him as our manager because, let's be honest, he'd be crap. But I don't regard him as any sort of "Judas" character at all.

steve-67 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The first two I thought of were Klinsman and Sven. Wasn´t Klinsman linked to Villa just prior to Randy taking over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
