sellbydate Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 If the next manager is Mark Hughes, i will feel entirely numb to the situation. Almost as if this last season was an alarm, a wake-up call, but we're just going to hit the snooze button. I want Villa to get up and go to work. Moyes really would be the ideal candidate, I just can't tell if he's being coy or kind in his interviews dismissing the speculation. **** Mark Hughes. :yawn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOne Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Does anyone have a clue on what's going on with the club atm? Has Houllier left yet? Is Hughes the only one who's been targetted? Can you honestly not just wait for an announcement ??? I did wait for the announcement. It was suppose to be today. We should hear something by now but still nothing. They can't be taking the piss when alot of time is required to sort out the squad. It also seems they've left themselves in a right mess with Houllier's settlement. It's just one mistake after another every single time with this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ancelotti would really excite me and he could bring Ray Wilkins with him which would be great too. The massive problem here is the wages for Ancelotti becuase I think his Chelsea contract was somewhere in the region of 5-8mill a year IIRC. I would also take a punt on Klinsmann becuase he plays some very attractive football, but as far as IU am aware he is now working as a consultant with Toronto FC in the MLS. However, I wouldnt see that as too much of a stumbling block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I did wait for the announcement. It was suppose to be today. And did the club ever say an announcement would come by today. Don't recall that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, mistake after mistake, £100 million spent, big mistake when you have ungrateful fans ... What's taking the piss about this, they're hardly going to be sitting there just going "Hmmmm when to release a statement" ...if they are sorting out GH departure, they'll also be already moving in on future replacements, drawing up candidates and getting in contacts with agents etc....so we're not behind in anything.

It's just one mistake after another every single time with this board. As far as I know Villa haven't said an announcement would be made today, These things take time, the club have probably only known in the past few days that they were going to get rid of GH. Not sure how you've worked out they are in a mess with the settlement and how that is Villas fault. Think I read there was a cap in the contract on how much Villa must pay for departure due to ill health which was good management by Villa. I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOWWWWWWW.

PieFacE Posted June 1, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's so going to be Hughes. Not overly exciting but I think he will do a good job and I will back him 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Wow. He is now 4/11 on with SkyBet now. And interestingly, Martinez is now 2nd favourite at 3/1. Followed by McClaren at 4's and Moyes/Benitez at 5's. I know odds don't mean anything, but its looking more like Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvey13 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hughes is looking more and more like who we are going to get not amazing but a solid replacement Ancelotti would be an amazing appointment but would take massive chunks of cash for him and his back room staff and then players that he would want but hey could be a fun time for the villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I backed him at 10/11 with Paddy Power at lunchtime and he is now 8/13 with them (not because of the money I put on I add) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Reckon if Hughes hadn't of joined Fulham a few days before O'Neill walked out he almost certainly would of been made manager here last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Im coming round to hughes I guess, case of having to mi thinks. But in reality I dont think he is any better than Houllier. He would not have the experince to start change at the club like Houllier was. He's also not the kind of manger who is gonna keep players here for seasons to come. I would have thought the best appointment would have been someone who can start keeping our players, instead of them fooking off everytime they have a sniff at the dollar bills............................I mean Champions League football of course! I did'nt think the board wanted a standard kind of manager, more of a tactician maybe, seems a bit of a step backwards. One good thing, Hughes aint gonna put up with no shit!

P3te Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 am i jumping the gun in assuming that the fact that fulham havent announced that hughes has taken the option for a second year today that his contract has now expired? Id have thought theyd have announced that asap, so its obviously not been signed. For my money that means hughes is as good as villa manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorski Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 O'Neill seemed to have the hump with Hughes at last years Player Awards Night when he commented that Hughes was not getting his job Just seems strange that the Week after Hughes joined Fulham Martin quit!! Coincidence maybe :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Mark Hughes would be a dull, uninspiring, playing it safe appointment. Come on Villa, break the tradition of a lifetime and get someone that excites the fans and makes other PL teams sit up and take notice. I am sick of us being also rans.
