Next manager?

[Pete3206]

What’s murphy’s role in selecting managers?

I remember him slating Benetez when he was at Liverpool saying that he'd bought 'too many Spaniards'. The bloke is an absolute spanner.

[Steve67]

Mutphy is an anti-Villa twat.  Speaks the same diatribe as the rest of his media planks.

[Malandro]

Petrov applying is as ridiculous as Yorke.
I certainly don't want him buying players after Tonev.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Talksport "we are hearing it is Henry/Terry.........yet to be confirmed....."

It's very unlikely to be confirmed until after the Belgium game a week tomorrow.

[Malandro]

I'd be surprised if we don't have a manager confirmed before the end of the week.
It's fairly urgent.

Certainly is. Sky will have run out of names to spuriously throw in the hat by the end of the week. There's only so many managers in the world.

[Hookeysmith]

When I wonder what the hold up could be I then realise  it's not just a manager that needs to be put in place. We also need
Assistant mgr
At least one if not 2 coaches
Goalkeeper coach
Probably a fitness coach

When whoever is announced it is not just a manager but an entire new backroom team.  If it is as suggested TH then it's not as if he has a tried and tested team already with him. He would have to recruit from the ground up.

All takes time although I suspect it has been worked on for a good few weeks beforehand

Won’t be long before they get to Curbishley, Hoddle and Owen Coyle.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

Before finally going full circle and suggesting Steve Bruce.

[sickbeggar]

Id imagine there would be an appointment at the end of the week earliest. You don't given a manager a load of money if you're planning to dump him 5 weeks later so i'm guessing they have their targets, will interview them and all things being equal thursday/Friday

[Hookeysmith]

At this level it's not like it's advertised on fish4jobs etc. And they wait any suitable applicants.
They would have known who they want from the start and once they had an inclination of thier target was interested would set about making the change happen.

I'd say it will be before then, that's if it is Henry. There's not any reason for him to stick around for that game if he's moving on.

We need a couple of coaches to shift the deadwood players from Villa Park and a new goalkeeper rather than a coach as the 3 we have currently don't inspire any confidence in the defence or the fans.
Rather than a fitness coach we need a fireworks expert who can put a rocket up the arse of the squad.

[London Villan]

I assume TH isnt working with Belgium anymore.

[Clampy]

Yes, he's Martinez's assistant.
