jat_r Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Statement tells me one thing, we aren't appointing anyone today. No point releasing a statement if we are going to hold a press conference in 6-8 hours time. Unless its another smoke screen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Statement from Paul Faulkner on the OS The Club is conscious of the keen interest in developments over the appointment of our new manager. When the process has reached an appropriate point we can assure our fans that we will be clear and forthright. We are focused right now on trying to secure the best candidate who will complement the Club's commitment to being true to our heritage, competitiveness and passionate fan base. We will update fans again when the process is more advanced. In other words we are no nearer to appointing a new manager. Looks like we will be waiting a bit longer.

Stu_The_Villan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 We should have moved hell and high water to make him realise that becoming manager of Villa was preferable to sitting on his arse for a year. Is it though?? To a Villa fan, then yes, of course it is. To Carlo Ancelotti?? Of course it aint!! Like i said, hes just had a 5m payoff from Chelsea. What reason has he got to come here other than fans wanting him to??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 As ive said before my brother works at the club in accounts. Do i trust him of course i do has he given me a name yes after much begging. It should hit SSN news this afternoon. In all due respect, during your begging you would of promised not to say anything so saying "he works in accounts" drops him in shit if it were really true.Jagman, is it Martinez?

makouns_grin Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 So we release a statement stating we are saying nothing?? Great one PF haha! Moan when we hear nothing. Moan when we hear something (but its not what we want to hear). Typical Villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormandyVillan Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Is that a hole in my screen? No, just an empty statement. There's more content in an amoeba. Except that "We will update fans again when the process is more advanced" suggests that anyone assuming that it's Martinez could be well off the mark?

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 They are just trying to appease the morons on Twitter who have been slagging the club for staying silent. That idiot from talksport (is it Villa Matt or something???) has been mouthing off like a buffoon saying the club needed to assure fans in someway or another - so what else can they say??? Damned if you do / damned if you don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swerbs Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Steve McClaren has categorically denied having any contact with Aston Villa over their vacant manager's job. McClaren has been strongly linked with the Villa Park hot-seat, and reports suggested he was set for an interview with the club's American owner Randy Lerner. But the former England chief's camp have reacted with fury at the speculation suggesting he was set to meet with Lerner, only for the interview opportunity to be withdrawn after a negative reaction from Villa fans. Sources close to McClaren, told skysports.com: "There has been no contact whatsoever with Steve. "He was not due to have an interview and has not spoken with Randy Lerner or anyone connected with Aston Villa. "He is not saying he would not be interested, but there has been no contact whatsoever." Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is currently odds-on-favourite for the role after being given permission to talk to Villa. source Goes exactly with what MYSTERYMAN said, so I definitely believe him when he says that our next manager will cause a 'bent meltdown' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Top quality managers are going to want money to spend on players capable of us challenging for honors and a top 6 club realistically why the hell would ancellotti or even benitez for that matter want to come here Were in the process of selling our best player to manure with our player of the season looking like he's heading for the exit door as well People need to wake up and smell the coffee with us looking like were appointing Martinez its clear that Lerner is settling for us achieving a mid table position every season with the odd cup run thrown in were no longer going to challenge for a top 6 place that ship saled when MON left after he spent alot of money on useless players with rediculous wages who never got a game because he didnt rotate the squad enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 To be perfectly frank I hope Randy Lerner and the club are taking their time and carefully interviewing a few candidates and deciding who will be most suited to manage AVFC. Fulham had already decided on Martin Jol last year before his then present club put the stop on him going, plus there is a rush in their case. We're not playing a competitive game until August are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, one of the key components of the Bent meltdown is that we were all really excited. McClaren will do the opposite and I think many would be underwhelmed with Martinez.

kingysilvers Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Would people rather we pulled a stunt like WHU did with MON or something? Of course we're not going to say anything of any substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it's Martinez, yesterday it was Benitez, the day before that it was McLaren, before that it was Hughes. Just in the past 5 days we've had 4 managers who looked very close to taking over in the eyes of the press. Martinez story is no different. I'm sure we have spoken to him, as with a lot of people ,but I'd be surprised if we hear anything before the middle of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1968 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 People get frustrated because they have no idea what conversations have taken place , what has been said and by who. If it is Martinez then so be it . I have watched Wigan play better football than Villa many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
