Next manager?

Apparently Sky have confirmed that there has been no contact between Villa and the Belgian FA. The whole Henry thing maybe pie in  the sky like last time.

Nixon tweets are interesting.  In summary he seems to be saying the likes of Henry and particularly Rodgers won't do interviews.  I presume because of ego for the first and burning his bridges for the second.  He seems to think we have too many people involved in the decision making process and that we really need to piss or get off the pot.

I hope we don't fuck this up because of too much prevarication.

I also wonder if Terry is actually considering 'Arry as his number two. You would guess that he knows him fairly well through Frank Lampard.

I'll give you odds of about a million to one on that not being the case.  Seriously, Redknapp as a number two at Villa Park?!  A pint of whatever you've been drinking this morning Damo!

Redknapp was a number two/football adviser at Derby not long back. He appeared to enjoy it. I think his description of his time there was "triffic".

Money talks, and we have lots of it.  Let's make Rodgers an offer he can't refuse.

We're going to kill his horse??

We can't expect a manager like Rodgers or Smith to be interviewed for the job when they are already managing another club. If it is them we want we have to just offer them the job. It might be different with someone like Henry, who is an assistant in his current job.

Not Trigger?

made me chuckle a few celtic fans on twitter this morning saying no ways Rodgers would leave them for us. "Brendan, we will pay you 200k per month and a 2m bonus if you get us up. We will be investing 200m+ at that point to allow you to build a squad to challenge for the champions league places. We want to be challenging for the PL within 5years. Fancy the challenge?"

As Des says, money talks. If hes the man they want, hes the man they will get.

A pint? Fucking hell, you'll be in A&E in no time.

Rodgers and Terry would be logical choice for me. Dean Smith would preferred for his championship experience but I'd find it easy to live with Brenda and JT

[Walmley_Villa]

I still wonder how FFP will impact us next year. Is it shit or bust to get up this season?

I can't remember ever thinking I'd be happy with any of the candidates that are being linked with the job, although that probably says more about the depths we've reached than tbe quality of the contenders.

In fairness, it's just nice not to see the usual boring names. Whoever we get, it looks like the owners think the same way about how to go forward as many of us do, which is reassuring in a way.

Yes why would he not be stepping down and distance himself from Belgium if he was coming to villa. 

I think he needs to be in Birmingham not Belgium as he seems to be fully involved with coaching Belgium NT and their matches coming up

I would think he needs to show he wants the job but perhaps doesn't want to be seen failing to get it .


Perhaps it's to be JT  ?!

Surely we would just approach Celtic or Brentford in the cases above and ask permission to speak to them?  If that is granted then the interview takes place and both parties decide.
