Next manager?

[JUAN PABLO]

he must have known there was a monaco sacking coming up


rodgers and JT for me then

[Damo70]

The current betting is

Terry - Evens
Faria 5/2
Henry 7/2 (I expect his odds to drift out as the Monaco link filters through
Rodgers 7/1
Smith 14/1

Anyone else after that is an long odds outsider.

Faria and Terry for me.

[sirlordbaltimore]

Don't you need your coaching badges to be installed as a manger ?

In which case, isn't Terry still doing his ?

[brian green]

You do if you are going to coach Baby Jesus

As SVC pointed out, our 3 owners have zero clue about football recruitment. Zero.

Should we be worried?

Purslow does?

Pinch of salt required but been sent the following from a contact who slightly ITK.

- Villa have ALWAYS been planning on using the FULL international break to go through this process. Most players away until next Thursday so not seen as pressing due to that. More focussed on getting the right decision.

- Process is two phase based on initial shortlist.

- 6 people on shortlist

- Stage 2 is filtering it down to a final 3

- The 6 are - Henry, Rodgers, Smith, Faria, Terry and another that he doesn’t know

- As it stands as today NO decision has been made on a favourite. They are basically tapping up the employed ones to see if they are keen before making an official approach.

-Henry has not informed us if he wants to move to stage 2 or not as yet and is undecided.

- Some of the candidates have been more receptive of being in a ‘process’ than others

-  DONT expect a decision this week

That makes sense

Am I the only one who's still coming to terms with Maradona being the 'laughing stock of the football world'?

[Phil from the upper holte]

Too many people myself probably included just panic.

People like collymore probably don't help then words like shambles get thrown about

[Hookeysmith]

Already feeling deflated 

So in my descending order of choices remaining:

Raneri / Terry - both know each other and decent mix of experience and ability - JT hits the ground running due to reputation and him "getting" the club

Faria / Terry - both know each other and but both new to each role

Rodgers / Terry - Cannot overlook Rodgers record but I also cannot overlook how out thought he was by Sherwood and with a team of Gerrard / Coutinio / Sterling and Balotelli available to him

Smith / Terry - His ability might be ok but I really feel the size of the club and expectation would engulf him - and I would hate to think a true villa man would be subjected to any abuse if it went wrong

Please get this right Villa

[cdbearsfan]

I'll choose none of those options, please. Not sure why Terry has to be part of a team. Just get a proper manager and let him bring his own staff with him.

I agree to be honest but considering what a shit fest our current defence is I was actually hopeful at him coming back to play so if he is not to do that at least he would have some understanding of us and be able to coach them

[footyskillz]

Thierry is off to manage Monaco.  You heard it here first.

Monaco have sacked Leonardo Jardim today and Henry is being linked with the job. He started his career at Monaco.

I posted it first . Saying he's holding out for real Madrid or Monaco and that he doesn't show villa he's interested

[clash city rocker]

Well I'm quite happy that the press nor anyone else really knows what is going on. It's all guesswork .Long may our owners keep it like that until they are ready to make an announcement.
