Next manager?

[Phil from the upper holte]

In Brussels today? Word is that Thierry Henry hasn’t taken a final decision over the Aston Villa job as yet. Belgium t. director Chris Van Puyvelde: “If we are preparing for his departure? We’ve read this story several times before. In football things can change quickly.” #avfc https://t.co/3WinnuApCj

Somehow, I don't see it being Hendry. If he was so interested in the job and we had already offered it to him, I would have expected him to show his hand by now. I don't buy this Henry not saying anything 'out of respect for the Belgium national team' guff. It is a two-bit job for christ's sake.
He is either not interested, or playing hardball about what has been reported that he wants full control over transfer budgets. With a DOF on the cards, I'm pretty sure that is a stumbling block.

If the above is anywhere near correct, then sod him, let go and get Rodgers.

Ray Houghton take on Brendon Rodgers.

Talkshite had their Scotland correspondent on last night who was aghast at the prospect of Rodgers leaving the mighty Celtic for Aston Villa. He obviously missed the John McGinn interview when he stated that  playing  the same sides over and over again no longer represented a challenge to him  whereas those thrown up by playing 23 different sides twice did, and sidestepped Rodgers' view that Villa were a huge club. Twats.

Can’t see Henry coming as it’s a tough gig and would devalue his credentials if doesn’t work out . You can’t shore up a defence without bodies there . Harry R on takksport says he’s not coming but he spoke to JT last night who reckons he’s right in the running

Harry Rednapp understands Henry isn't taking the job

Not that's he's been one to tell the truth before.

[ozzjim]

Who would tell that bloody man anything that is even slightly confidential.

Isn't it just smashing that all of a sudden, Harry fucking Redknapp is the intermediary.

[Drummond]

Ah but 'Arry' was with Terry last night...

I fucking detest Redknapp and I don't much like his son either.

[dicedlam]

I reckon Henry is waiting on Premier League clubs that are hovering around the relegation places early doors and owners who might panic and pull the trigger pretty quickly. Clubs like Palace, West Ham, Southampton, Fulham.

[montague]

I agree that Henry unlikely - I feel its going to be Terry or Rodgers - probably Terry

But frankly who knows yet

I think you'll find the word you're looking for is triffick.

Regardless of what Terry has said can't get shut his wrinkly fuckin mouth

OK it may be just bollocks talk but anyone who has any reservations about the Villa challenge can fuck off. I won't mind Terry coming on his own if we can't get Rodgers.
