Faria or Henry

[Dave P]

Neither have been managers.  Both may be ok, both may be shite.  I think Faria is a bit 'Meh' but I'm seduced by the idea of Henry.  Gerrim in!

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I think there's an impression of Henry that because he was an attacker that he'd have no idea what to do with defence. That assumes quite a bit about the coaching credentials he's earned.

Managers style of play and strengths don't have to be a reflection of how they played. Brian Littles two successful league seasons with us was built around solid defence rather than free flowing attack.

I don't have any issue with Faria's record and i think he'll be a good manager for someone but i don't like him and i think he'd be a bit too negative for where we are.

I'd prefer Arteta of the inexperienced options but I'm ok with Henry as well.

I'm hoping for Henry and Terry now. I can see it being spectacularly brilliant or the complete opposite but I like that we're taking a chance.

I’m with you.
Fuck it, let’s try something different.

With you mate. Successful or not, only time will tell, but certainly raised my hopes

Totally agree. The only kind of appointment I'd have been genuinely angry about was if we'd gone for a Moyes-type dinosaur.

[VillaAlways]

Rodgers would be my first choice but would be fully behind the two T's if thsts who the owners choise

Exactly where I am, it will just be lovely to have a bit of hope and excitement again. 

I also think that Henry will be very good for our profile, as he really was a world class player, and certainly the best I've seen in the Premier League.  Our club has been on the back burner for too long, and in a way the reaction to Bruce was a product of that.  Sorry to quote that idiot Holloway, but the phrase a "half-arsed club who used to be famous" wasn't far from the mark, however much it hurts to admit it.  Most pundits and fans of other clubs had stopped taking notice of us ages ago, and in their minds a "safe pair of hands" like Bruce was the perfect fit for us.  How dare we hope for anything better than a man with four, FOUR promotions?!

So Henry will be a risk, but fuck it, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  For what it's worth though, I think he'll do well.  Martinez is a great manager, and Henry will have learned a lot from him, and hopefully the brilliant managers like Wenger he has worked under.

[Toronto Villa]

Bruce started by saying how lucky he was to manage us. He finished by proclaiming how lucky we were to have him. That’s how far he brought us down.
