General, may I add that for some reason I don't really have any feelings either way about Bob Bradley. I'd be concerned about his lack of experience at this level and would expect a number 2 to be appointed with him who knows the English game. Unless the ultimate plan is to turn us into Aston Villa Clarets and start throwing small egg-shaped balls to beefy men in jodhpurs. If that is the case then would you relocate us to the South caost? Its nice down there. Hove Clarets anyone? No? okay.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm neither for or against someone like Bob Bradley. But how some people can get so hot over someone they know next to nothing about in terms of their ability I have no idea. I bet when Arsenal appointed some geeky looking bloke with experience in France/Japan, and Man U got some fella with success with a small team in Scotland the fans were just as livid.

Quite honestly, as fans we have very little knowledge of how good or bad someone can be in a new position. Especially someone who's never managed in the PL. That shouldn't be any indicator of their ability otherwise lots of foreign managers would never get a job in England e.g Mourinho, Hiddink, Benitez etc.

dave, you are right ,i coulnt give up the villa,  and of course if bradley gets the job i will be behind the bloke but i dont want to be in that position......

As I don't know anything about him, like you I'd imagine, I don't know if I want him as our manager. I'd certainly never stop supporting the club. I also know how to turn my capslock key off.

Anyway, this isn't the place to discuss it, there's already a place to discuss the new manager.

You certainly won't watch Bromsgrove Rovers.

pmk - to the non league thread if you want to know what Dave is on about!

[pmk1981]

you know what,  ever since oniel left most of the discussions on here turn into fellow villa fans arguing i dont want to get into an argument but i would rather someone who knows the english / european game to be given a chance.  Bob Bradley had his usa team play well against very shit sides in the world cup and yes i include england in that.  Just think we need someone that the players will respect, ie kev macdonald

Yes, but managed to tactically find a way of beating Spain the year before, and nearly Brazil. You cannot discount that with a good, not great US team. England didn't close to getting the ball off Spain in a friendly, and I dare say it would have been the same against Brazil with a much better manager.

Indeed. I do think it's wrong to discount him outright.

Actually general, tell bob that he can only have the job if he brings his son.

Seconded. If we were ever looking for a midfielder destroyer that can actually play a bit it is Micheal Bradley. I think he'd fit in brilliantly in the PL alongside Stephen Ireland. In fact there have been very few US born players that haven't done well in England come to think of it.

Agree with this.
