Next manager?

[ozzjim]

Dunno, reports were that he was with them today.

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

I reckon he'd have a fair idea of who he'd want to bring in, though.

As a wild guess, TH may very well have been sounding people out already

Was Barthez the French goalie when Henry played? 
I'm not sure I'd want him training Nyland.

[cdward]

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.

I wouldn't bet on it.

You watch. As soon as Henry and Terry are announced, the experts will be gushing about it non-stop and the second rate news hounds will stop taking Steve Bruce's phone calls.

Collymore is quiet...maybe him and Dwight have made a pact to atone for what went wrong at the Villa twenty years ago and come back as a dream management duo.

[Toronto Villa]

Maybe out of respect for the Belgian FA we’ve agreed with them to let TH be with the squad and complete preparations and the game. I think Terry announcing his retirement isn’t a coincidence. My guess is by early Thursday this will all be done and dusted.

Fixed for you.

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

Probably totally unaware that Clarke has been at the club quite recently and was personally responsible for a howler in the transfer market. 

[Iamkmkm]

Can someone ITK tell me if it's gonna be Henry and terry or not? Would be dissapointed now if it wasn't so.

Will sure bring some excitement back to the club.

I think they actually play Friday evening

If is is to be TH, then we can’t wait for him to get some poxy international friendly out of the way before joining us.

He’s got a football club to save and needs to get on with it.

What a nightmare that would be, could see us ending up in league 2 with thoses two in charge.

[Zouch Villa]

It’s all been a dreadful mistake
