Easier said than done I know but.....

&feature=youtu.be

Can't wait to see him try to get some of our players who struggle to complete a five yard pass playing like that. It might be fun to watch, though.

OK Just on that alone i'm prepared to review my previous misgivings on his managerial abilities and if he does bring Terry back then perhaps it could be a real dream team and we might get to see some footbacl again.....

The 3 seconds where he says "to win a game you have to score goals" (03:54) will do for me for a start.

I wonder what kind of technology or video analysis Bruce ever used? “Roll up your sleeves” or “hoof it long to Hogan”  doesn’t need a wireless connection.

It’s sad that so many of our fans see things in such strong strands of black and white.

To suggest that Henry would try to get Villa playing like Barcelona is quite frankly very silly.  However, Wolves adopted similar tactics last season and tore the league apart, including humiliating us at their ground.  I have to admit though, “fun to watch “ is not how I would have described it.

Agree on Terry TV. Despite not liking him I can not fault his conduct or attitude last season.

We completely destroyed Wolves at our ground with Steve Bruce as manager. Off course we proceeded to throw it all away in the next game.

Terry 'n' Terry I like it.
I'm wary, it's very scary Thierry, Terry territory.

Aye, but perhaps it's time to double-darey?

And?

They won the league at a canter playing great football all season.

T 'n' T - an explosive combination!

Only problem I see with Thierry is we have a lot of Irish supporters who will not be very keen after his World cup hand ball.

You know what? Let's do it. TnT, Tel-times-two, call it what you will, it might be a blast and can't really be any worse than what's been served up for the best part of a decade.

The thing with Henry is that had he already proved himself as a manager elsewhere we probably wouldn't be able to get him.  If we ever want him to manage us, now is the time.

That's without a doubt true.

But you could say the same about any former great player with no managerial experience.

It's exciting. But Rodgers would be a more sensible shout - proven big club experience etc

The Press 2020:
"Of course, Henry ultimately failed at Aston Villa because their large contingent of Irish fans never accepted him after that cheeky manual  control of the ball against their national team"

Great apprenticeship too.  ;)

I think that there must be a  few younger players who'll be glad to see the back of Bruce .Also there might be some young French players who would jump at the chance of working under Henry,perhaps reigniting the deal for U20 stopper,Moukoudi.

We can re-sign all those Jordans and Gana/Gueye wotsit!
