HeyAnty Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Keep Martinez & Lambert away from my club Jumped up championship managers who are being ridiculously over-rated IMHO It's Rafa for me of the names being banded about I agree, Raffa for me as well or my one man personal crusade of Martin Jol which will never happen. Martinez is flavor of the month. I wonder how many Villa fans would have wanted him in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 28, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2012 I thought Ole was flavour of the month? They can't all be. It might be that people have wanted Martinez for a while because he has kept Wigan up 3 years on the trot. It's a possibility. The club wanted him 12 months ago which kinda makes him flavour of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Very much looking ahead to a non jock managerInteresting as I couldn't give a shit what nationality he was as long as he was good for us So really I am very much looking ahead to a non shit manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'd think 33k would of had him Feb, least we'd see a manager try to win a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 To be honest I may sound like I lack ambition in saying this but I will take anyone at this stage. I am coming to the conclusion that every manager is a risk and not every manager is going to work at our club, this can be said for anyone. We could sign Mourinho and have him not succeed but on the other end of the spectrum we could sign Di Matteo and win the league, in the end we do not know what the future holds for us.. Benitez could get us into the Champions League but he could very easily not, so I am just going to sit back now and whether it's Benitez, KMac, Poyet, Lambert, Martinez, Hoddle or AVB I no longer care as all of them could fail as easily as they could succeed.

Denis_B Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'd think 33k would of had him Feb, least we'd see a manager try to win a game! And if we had gotten results for us like Wigan in March, April and May we would be delirious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Benitez would be my choice, although perhaps he's a tad unrealistic. Of the realistic options, Martinez is my choice. We're a joke at the minute.How so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irreverentad Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have mentioned this previously but the more I think about it we really don't have the support network to allow a young manager to succeed. It is a big job. I think it needs to be someone a bit more experienced eg Benitez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 It wouldn't take much of a football brain to realise that you can't come in and play McLeish type football and get away with it! Also if you wan't to play like Stoke, then the Villa midfield and strike force would all need replacing, therefore whoever comes in is likely to coach a passing game. If it were Martinez .... a fairly risky high tempo passing style with three at the back and full backs getting forward. Plenty of goal attempts and few clean sheets. Rodgers .... a patient passing game with loads of short possession balls (back and sideways as well as angled forward balls). A willingness to press the opposition to win back the ball quickly. Could work well with two good strikers. Di Matteo .... a well organised (low scoring) patient style which may alter week on week depending on opponents. Poyet .... plenty of possession and "caring for the ball," but defensively dodgy. Lambert .... high tempo never say die football, where the opposition is never allowed to rest even in their own half. Wide men getting forward, plenty of attempted crosses, but also a willingness to try and play a bit of football when the team gets on top. Few clean sheets with this "lets score more than they do" philosophy. That's my reading of what may lie in store for Villa fans next season.

The club wanted him 12 months ago which kinda makes him flavour of the decade. So is that your criteria for a manager? Somebody who is going to keep Villa up for the next 3 years. We are/should be a top 5 club thats why i think we need a manager like Raffa who has managed at that level. Both Lambert and Martinez arent proven at that level. They might turn out to be able to manage at that level but why should Villa take the chance. We deserve somebody who is proven already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
