Manager for next season

[Dave]

Forbes is sticking its oar in now, although this article doesn't say anything new about Tony X. Must admit I did not know the tail of Bee Taechaubol.

It doesn't really mean anything though. Yes, there was once an Asian chap who tried to buy a football club and couldn't.

It's not relevant at all to the Asian chap who is trying to buy Villa.

Sorry, I meant to put this in the RECON thread.

Yes the basis of this article seems to be 'this guy is from the Far East so he must be lying'.

cant see there being a chance in hell we will or can appoint a manager until the ownership has gone through,
so it might be while yet

I think we'll have a manager before the week ends, reading between the lines of a few interviews/articles.

I think we will too. Thursday is my guess.

With Prandelli taking Lazio surely it will be Di Matteo in the next couple of days.

I doubt anything will happen until Dr X officially owns the club

Club sold
Board appointed
Manager appointed
Coaching team named
Player matters begin

That has to happen in that order

[ozzjim]

No it doesn't.  If Hollis and tone agree the manager he will be appointed this week by Hollis both said so last week.

[Ron Manager]

Hollis and Little by all accounts went for Pearson.Zia prefers RDM.All this means....god only knows.

[peter w]

Could be that Di Matteo is first choice and always has been for Xia but the delay is due to Lazio deciding whether they want him?

[oswald funkletrumpet]

would a manager sign a contract when the club isnt official sold?

[ozzjim]

I can see the appeal of him. He's not a bad shout CV wise.

All three of the linked managers have the ability to take us up, in my opinion.
Do Matteo would probably have been my third choice, but if it's him, i'm pretty happy.

[Ron Manager]

I will be down to Pearson or Pearson and it will drag on for months and months

[walsall villain]

I will be down to Pearson or Pearson and it will drag on for months and months

I'm hoping on it being sorted this week, as we all know delay will be damaging.
