a manager whose track record is
Excellent coach at Spurs
Liked by all the press and fans at the clubs he was at
Managed real difficult characters and broken dressing rooms – Newcastle, Barton, Carroll etc
Successful with Newky
Worked with DoF
Had players sold from underneath him
picks up bargains and motivates other players
good style of football, usually wingers and two up front
fantastic jobs at previous club
Outside bet
that previous club is of course the major problem, if he had all the problems at blues and yet managed say Cardiff to the same position he would be wanted by many fans.
Should it matter where he came from ? at VP there was never a chant about Mcleish’s background but of all the other factors and records we know. Maybe we as Fans would actually WANT him to succeed at villa to prove all the press WRONG ?
most of the players brum brought the season just gone we signed by mcleish … can hughton spot a good en and a bargain …. dont think thats quite been proven yet
Wouldn’t grumble, good manager……..not in my top 5 but not a bad call by any stretch.
he brought Cheick Tioté and Hatem Ben Arfa
Yeah he’s dun some good things but we need someone with more experience and more ruthless. He’s not exactly someone I’d get excited about if he came and would be near the bottom of my list tbh.
well Faulkner said a young manager who is experienced and young, going by the criteria that PF set
I am not saying he is any way possible BUT he fits what we need
Lots of other better managers are what we need Ian. Sounds like u know it’s going to be him and your testing the fans reaction on behalf of the club.
I know in the end McLeish’s unpopularity had nothing to do with his Birmingham connections, and that in the beginning that wasn’t even our biggest worry. But I can guarantee you that is not a risk they would take again.
Hughton is a good manager but i’m sure they won’t consider him.
Like hughton but too nice. I’m sick of us being the nice team. We need some nasty bastards in or we will do nothing. Nice guys finish last.
No thanks… we can get better… and I wouldn’t want to be giving the scum any more money!
NOOOOOO!
Not the worst suggestion in the world. He comes across as a decent guy and seems to know what hes doing
I’d have no problems with Hughton. I often saw him in the Spurs cafe when I was a student in London and he always had time for a chat as he ate his full English. I’ve got my doubts as to whether we’d go for him though on a political level, though. There was an element of fans who hated the connection with Blues with the previous incumbent, albeit a small one and I don’t think the board would risk that kind of wrath again.
Also, it seems to me it would be quite humiliating to go back down the road and steal the manager of a club we consider inferior in every way for the second successive season. He’s a good bloke and a good manager but, if we were going to go for him, it should have been last season.
Confirmed Juan Carlos Garrido, Villareals current manager spotted entering villa park @ 9am
Hope not, his records shite.Bullshit me thinks.
..if true I think its not the right choice.
To be honest it’s better than McCarthy its better than Bruce and its better than mcliesh! Please try to see the positive in it. He got real to the champs although struggled once there. I’d say overal an average manager for villa who will give us mid table!
Confirmed: Big Ron seem collecting his sheepskin from the dry cleaners @ 10:36.
..Garrido isn´t Villareals current manager. He was sacked last December.
Terrible record hope not. Didn’t get one point in CL and relegated.
Hughton is OK… but then look what Pardew has done with that team. We need someoen that will do ‘a Pardew’ and get us up at the sharp end of the league again, not a ‘safe Hughton’.
I know everyones saying Mcleish coming from Blues wasn’t a factor but we all know it was and with that in mind do we really want another nose???? I don’t think so.
Look at the record of Adkins / Southampton which is very, very good.
AVB was sacked but you wouldn’t say no?
I would say no dont rate avb at all. Failed miserably at Chelsea can’t control players and tactically inept. Too many people think just coz he managed at Chelsea then he must be good. Sorry he isn’t. Give me poyet anytime.
Neill llennon !
