Anorim has less reason to come than Poch, who, let's be fair, needs a very good run somewhere to build his reputation back up.

There's loads of reasons not to come, we just have to hide them all behind very large sacks of cash.

Wait a fucking second... he plays five at the back!

I've just purchased a Portuguese flag and some lighter fluid from Amazon.

I was wondering how long it would take!

I deliberately left that bit of Wiki out. It's a continental three centre backs, not a British one, so it won't be as shit.

The old Aston Villa would appoint Dyche
The new Aston Villa would appoint Poch

Be interesting to see which one we are today.

I'm not sure it is that easy.

It'll be better than Sean fucking Dyche, I'm sure.

Braga head of recruitment said
"Ruben Amorim is destined to join a top club in the ‘Big Five’ leagues
It will have to be an ambitious project. He is an extremely ambitious coach. There will be nothing to excite him other than the ambition to win big trophies"
We are that club with ambition.

Well if Franks comes then we need to bring in their recruitment team and sack off Lange, who is piss poor.

Seems unlikely to me that Poch, at this stage of his career, has the hunger to take on a big rebuild project. He will want to wait for Real or Barcelona or something like that.

Pochettino was at Barca v Villa game last night.

Shows no interest then. If he was on verge of taking over he'd have watched us last night. I thought he lived in London anyway.

Edit; Could be looking at Villareal if Emery is leaving them shortly....

He must be looking to bringing in Lewandowski in January.

Earlier this week he was at home in Argentina. Maybe Barca are looking to replace Xavi after early CL exit?

Franks would be a totally pointless signing. We need a Manager to take Aston Villa to the next level,not turn us into Brentford.
Has anybody watched them play?
Hit the ball long, run off said ball and employ as much shithousery and timewasting to frustrate the opposition as possible.
Fuck that
