Lol... Got to laugh. So we have asked to speak to these people and they have said no thanks. Smith surely is the sensible choice now.

According to Henry Winter,  it's not gonna be Faria.

Interesting. Step forward, Marco Rose!

Just read that myself. I want someone who is committed to us and have to respect someone who is honest. So on we go. The media truly is all over the place on this. They literally don’t have a clue.

I just pray our board do.

Well, given you identified our appointments of Purslow, Pitarch (we think) along with Mendes you have to think (or at minimum hope) they are doing things the right way with people in the game. It’s a damn sight better than Randy and Faulkner on plane to pick up TSM1 or Fox sat next to Sherwood while Lambert was still on the job.

Isn’t that normal though to expect in hiring anyone for a senior position? Just that football is a lot more public. I like the fact that those responsible for making the appointment are working through a list of candidates to gauge interest and will hire we hope the best candidate from the final pool of names. It’s entirely possible those who have said yes aren’t even on the media radar.

If it's Faria then we know he's coached at the very highest level but has no experience of signing players, we don't know what his tactical approach is or how much involvement he had in tactics at all.


Dull I would imagine if his boss is anything to go by.

Expect two holding players and us to Karanka our way zzzzz sorry dropped off there, Karanka our way to results.

Yes, sorry I was laughing at the press sensationalism about someone saying no to talks.

This is getting tedious.  Just go for Smith. He knows this league well. The owners just seem to want appoint a 'name', regardless of no experience in management. Terry as Smith's Assistant would be good - it'd give Terry that vital experience.

Faria days he's not interested in getting back into the game. Bullet dodged.

The journalist Henry Winter is saying that Faria isn’t interested in a job at the moment. He has ‘huge respect for Villa but is enjoying his time off at the moment’.

Hate to say it, but this all seems terribly amateurish.  I appreciate that it's probably more a case of the journos playing manager bingo, however they must love kicking Villa's name around for general amusement.

Agreed. Actually pleased we have not ended up with him.

Funny that nursey claimed it was done this morning.
