C4rvillan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 If it is Hitzfeld, that would be fine by me. He knows the game inside out and has plenty of pedigree. If he is unvieled on Friday as it says on his wiki page or next week, then I will congratulate the General personally. But with the recent comments by K Mac sayign he won't decide until after the Toffees then I am dubious about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted August 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2010 I like how tall he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMB Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I took that photo earlier so must have been the angle I was at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted August 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, I wasn't hinting that it wasn't real BTW mate, I'm pretty sure I read his Wiki page and it said he was over 9 feet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Has a rumour that involved an early change on wiki ever come true? I'd like it if we appointed Hitzfeld, but I can't really bring myself to believe this. But you buggers got me hoping for it. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Not the only photo of him around Villa Park or with Villa people, this was taken before the Newcastle match, apparently Lerner and Faulkner wanted to speak to him more than once before making their decision but Hitzfeld was insistent on doing the deal then via a verbal agreement and firm hand shake.

JPAngel Posted August 25, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah James Beattie's Wiki got changed by someone and he turned out to be a real coup. Just look back at all the legendary performances he put in. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It was worth us waiting for Dunne, Collins and Warnock, and it's worth us waiting for the right manager too. I'm not in the slightest bit worried right now. If it turns out to be Bradley / Staunton etc, then that might change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMB Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes of course I wasn't doubting the credibility of the photo. I think it captures the moment quite well in fact. Edit: Cheers POB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 If Hitzfeld is still managing Switzerland (?), then he doesn't really fit into GingerLad's description. GL seems to be implying that the manager has previously managed at international level, but is not currently doing so. However the new manager has managed at International Level before, and one of his targets has played under him. Oh my God - it's Lawrie Sanchez :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
