It could be Wenger and Henry as assistant manager, as I think Henry as manager is too high a risk.

The appointment will depend on who has been chosen as DOF I would think.

I hope it isn't dragged out for too long.  We can't risk falling further behind.

I've just been reading his managerial record on Wiki (Kinky Flores that is) and it does seem to be a bit of a mixed bag.

I still like the idea of AVB. He's not in work either.


Personally I wouldn't want AVB. I think any manager who has been around a while will have a mixed managerial record. Bruce had been promoted four times and relegated twice when he joined us.

If we go with the head coach and have Wenger as a dof that would work.

Henry perfectly capable of overseeing coaching . Has been involved with belgina set up and look at Lampard who I touted he's doing fine.

JT as a coach would be fine with the Rui  faria would be fun . And bring Cahill in januray window

I heard that AVB comes from a wealthy family and sees himself as a bit of a renaissance man.  Football was interesting to him for a while, but last I heard he fancied himself as a rally driver or some such.  Therefore I doubt he'd have the hunger to put up with a season of slog in the Championship.

English translation has someone close to Fonseca saying swapping a CL club for s championship one not an option.

Yup, also says that he's not represented by Mendes but by somebody called Marco Abreu.

Speaking of Marco, "Marco Rose's Claret & Blue Army!"

My wife got me an afternoon of driving a rally car for my birthday several years back. It was exciting and a bit hazardous and scary all at the same time. So pretty much like managing Villa I would imagine.

Bet 365, William Hill, Unibet and Betfred have all currently suspended betting on the next Villa manager. It could be just a price review, a reaction to betting patterns or a sign that some news is appearing to be emerging.

And was there or thereabouts for the England job.
I'd love a recording of his interview for the Villa job or for his next post.

Next manager markets usually get suspended overnight.
