Alec Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think Rafa will be far more at home as the manager of Everton. Ex-Liverpool managers don't take over at Everton. Especially controversial ones. And if they did, I have a feeling they wouldn't feel 'at home' all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Can we stop harping on about Moyes, he has no desire to manage our great club so **** him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regular_john Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Be seriously disappointed if its Rafa..Liverpool struggled big time trying to get the man out of Anfield. It'd be a disgrace hiring a 2 time La Liga, 1 time Champions League, 1 time FA Cup and 1 time Uefa Cup winner. He has his faults of course but he's not the inept clown the media in this country try to make people believe. This. Despite what some of us may think, a club that has not won anything in 16 years is not a particularly attractive prospect for a lot of managers. We're not Man United or Chelsea, we can't expect to attract the very best managers, so someone like Rafa is a big signing for us. I'd welcome him.

RMB Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If Ancelotti rejects us, rijkaard thinks we aren't a big enough team and Moyes decided he wanted to stay at Everton, who would your next choice be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 One name not even been mentioned except by me...............Southgate? Yeah, it is strange he's not even been mentioned at all really. Premiership experience, out of work, former Villan.....I'd prefer him to McLaren, TBH.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuintonK6 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Glad Rafa has been approached, he's a proven winner, not everyones cup of tea but I'd take him. The Inter Milan fans had a whip round and put him on a one way flight to John Lennon. He destroyed the European Champions in 3 months FFS. Yeah he's won trophies but who cares it's about managing AVFC. Overseas managers and the Villa don't mix. Houllier and the DR both fcked up two very good squads. I don't want a 3rd unless it's Jose Mourinho.. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DotsandCrosses Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I quite like him. Did excellently at Valencia, and at Liverpool too. Inter Milan was a blot on his record, but hey, everyone makes mistakes. What he is good at is tactics and more importantly organising defences, which we could certainly do with...

WalterTull Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I think there is a more measured calm about this thread now, perhaps school has restarted. I think it is wonderful to speculate and infer, but to criticise in the manner some do here is deplorable. I don't like Rafa, never liked his style and his facial hair put me off, but Harry the Twitcher puts me off but I wouldn't mind him and his corrupt cronies and Moyes look like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz and seems short of humour. None of the seem to have the intellectual capacity to read War and Peace which I have, so they are all rubbish, oh but that is not the criteria is it and I don't make the decision and I don't have to put up the money to by the players. If you want to be in charge go and set up a Free School or something. I still think it will be Hughes. Measures of success from Managers previous reigns are interesting and in Four Four Two we would have one the league, if only English goalscorers counted, but that isn't the way it works, the measure of success we need is at Villa, and the trouble with Villa is we don't show the belief. I believe who ever is our manager we will back, we will support and we will hope, even if it is an awful choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALL.IV.1 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Rafa's not for me. Would rather have a fresh young manager in from the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'd take Rafa but the amount of fans that have already said they don't want him.. I fear it will be Houllier mk2 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdistheword Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well it says he wants to know what money will be available to spend. This surely must mean if he gets the job there is sufficient funds to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
