Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Risso]

No lie, if Danks beats Newcastle 4-0 it's going to be hard for me not to do an objectively wrong and dumb thing by getting completely carried away by the 'caretaker takes over' fallacy.

Let's hope the owners don't feel the same. I remember when General Krulak on here strongly intimated that MacDonald was being strongly considered for the full time job, which the 6-0 demolition by Newcastle soon put paid to.

The noise on Emery really growing now, Spanish journalists getting involved.

I believe this is an established Villareal journalist - this is his bio
"Many years after Villarreal, in sickness and in health, in riches and in poverty, in the good and the bad.

And these are his tweets:
Aston Villa wants to pay Emery's clause, and there are options that the coach can leave.

This is very serious

Ent that Catalan?

If it's Emery or Almorim I'd like them signed on the dotted line at the earliest possible opportunity.  Tomorrow would be perfect.

Yes to either of them. Much better names being linked now.

I wanted Gerrard to work, but he wouldn't even have been in a top 20 list of potential managers ahead of him being signed up.

Yep, seems to be gaining momentum. It would be a good appointment i think.

Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and Italian are all basically the same, aren't they? Italians just move their hands more?

In the Veneto, yeah, they basically speak weird Spanish.

Please don't tell anyone I know I said that, I have a family.

I've gone from not really considering him as an option to being potentially really disappointed if he turns us down in the space of about 5 hours. Hopefully it goes through without a hitch.

Romano's now running with us spproaching Villarreal for Emery.

[ozzjim]

After Poch, Emery has been my favoured option since Gerrard was potted, so quite excited. He's got the sort of record that we should be looking for and could be brilliant for us. Really hope he signs up.

[villadelph]

seems like Emery it is then.. would be a great appointment.

We may be making approaches but no guarantee he'll accept. Interesting article from Balague for the BBC from a few months ago, which mentions family being one of the reasons why he rejected Newcastle last year:

Fabrizio reporting that we have approached Emery and that it's all up to him, the release fee won't be am issue. In terms of getting sometime done quickly, he would likely be easier to wrap up than Amorim as, unlike Sporting, Villarreal's midweek game is largely meaningless (they've already secured top spot in their Europa League group).
