Faria or Henry

[PeterWithesShin]

This one?

[Louzie0]

I’ve always wanted* a French manager for the Villa.

Houllier - not his time
Garde - not his time either

Henry...3rd time. Could be The Un.


*not necessarily, as I remember getting rather excited about Vikings.

[ozzjim]

Yep. I want our manager to understand and implement tactics like that. No more quotes like roll your sleeves up.

[Louzie0]

Henry.
Un homme pour les temps.

[Risso]

This one?

That's all lovely, I just worry that when he tries to introduce such concepts as "having a plan," "trusting your team mates to play the right ball" and "freedom in the final third" then he might be met by some puzzled looks and blank expressions.

That's what we lacked today. Any attacking structure. We too often knock it around the 18 yard line and have done for years in that curved bow. Back and forth and never probing as we don't know what we're meant to be doing.

Something to be said about learning via osmosis. Wenger and Pep aren't bad examples.

[john e]

don’t know anything about Faria apart from what I’ve read on here ,
 if he’s a Mourinho clone then It’s got to be Henry

but ultimately I would have some hope with either

[Ian.]

Henry, I suppose in the great hope he’s as good as a manager as he was a player.

[mr underhill]

neither for me

[Woofles The Wonder Dog]

Faria. Experience over glamour.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Henry, I suppose in the great hope he’s as good as a manager as he was a player.

Lets make a list, I'll start with...

Bobby Charlton
Bobby Moore

[Des Little]

You’ve spelt Rodgers wrong

[LeeB]

Dean Smith for me, all things considered.

[Mister E]

Isn’t it as much about who comes in the management team with the manager? We have lacked decent coaching for years and that’s what we desperately need now.
Who will bring that to the club most effectively?

[TheMalandro]

Imagine the tactics board. Replace Xavi with Whelan, Iniesta with Jedinak.
Easy.


I'd take be happy with either of these, probably go for Henry.
