Next manager?

[ozzjim]

I think he is a good manager and would do pretty well here. If we are not getting Henry, and to be fair, Villa or Monaco? Then for me you go for someone who is going to on paper have a similar outlook, we need an attacking manager. Rodgers or Smith for me.

What is the guy leaving Monaco like? Heard he is a Mendes friend too.

Well it was probably for the best, i never liked his arrogant face anyway.

You can't turn it down if you've not been offered it. Good gig for Henry considering he's never been a manager

Exactly

Does it really matter?  Either way he's said 'I don't want to manage your club', which is fine.

Footyskillz recommended him earlier in the thread so I looked him up.  Yes please!

I can't help but think Brenda is a bit of a clueless tit.

probably for the first time ever .....I agree with you on a statement
I'm not sold on Rodgers whatsoever ...he lived in Formby whilst managing Liverpool and recall the cringeworthy documentary he appeared in whilst living here. I think he scents the smell of £ rather than the lure of getting Villa back to the Premier League
Plus I don't think he's all that anyway ...if the papers are to believed we would be paying another £2.5 in compo on top of Bruce's`s payoff - When will this club ever learn ?

You're criticising the club for something they haven't done yet?  And should they do do they would be going for a highly regarded manager experienced at Championship, Premier League and Champions league levels.  I can understand not liking him and him not being your own choice, but if they do go for him is it really a 'will they ever learn' move?

Fair comment .... probably one of the reasons we won't approach Newcastle as the reputed compo is a ridiculous £8m
As told to me recently by a Geordie season ticket holder - seems a bit far fetched to me but knowing the way Ashley operates nothing surprises

I thought you said it was definitely Faria and Terry?

All paper talk so far.

The more outlandish the suggestions get, the more a quick and painless homecoming for Dean Smith appeals. At least you could be sure he actually wants the job.

Well would you live in Liverpool?!? (Hoping you live on the Wirral 🤞)

How low can we sink? Being turned down by someone who isn't even a manager yet. Amazing really when you think about it.

I can only think the next thing will be getting turned down by people who haven't actually been born yet.

There are amoeba on Saturn which have turned us down, you know.

Still am ( my source is currently out of the country but told me earlier that is what he understands the choice is - it could all be bollocks of course)....in respect of "will the club ever learn" that's a reference to the amounts we have chucked away in the past and May do once again .......which probably got us in the financial mire pre season ie throwing money around like confetti

I wouldn't have thought the compensation for Smith would be a great deal, as its unlikely Brentford hand out big wages in their contracts.
