Gus to Villa?

i got slagged off for calling twitter an information junkyard earlier..........i rest my case

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

EXTREMELY unlikely but if it did happen you culdn't hold it against him, no matter how upsetting it would be.

 

[Rookie]

Read what the Villa owner said about the appointment and your mind will be put at rest

"Two of the traits we believe are of crucial importance are that candidates have experience of managing in the Premier League and a strategy for building on the existing strengths in our current squad."

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Can’t see it. No disrespect to Poyet but if Villa had previously been having discussions with Bob Bradley, who had a relatively good run as US coach during the World Cup, they are hardly likely to start looking at League 1 managers.

 

[oldboyroy]

I wish all this rumour stuff would stop providing it is just a rumour

 

[Icy Gull]

Why would a proper club want a manager who has proved he can't even sign a league one striker in SIX MONTHS? Jesus, he'd take years to do anything in the premier league.

What is Barnes, Scotch Mist?

Oh hang on YOU don't rate Barnes so he's not a League 1 striker, is that right?

 

[sten_super]

Do you want quality or quantity? If it's the latter then Gus is your man, as he's signed at least three strikers off the top of my head (Barnes, Holroyd, the Norwegian). Unfortunately, it's pretty likely that none of them are fit to lick the arse of the one he released.

How do you so defiantely defend what is patently bollocks? Forster scored 40 goals in 98 league games for us, or 0.41 a game (including sub appearances). Barnes, over 12 league games (including subs) has scored 5, or 0.40 a game. Forster is 37, Barnes is not even 21 yet. How, based on that information, can you say that it appears that Barnes is not fit to lick the arse of Forster?

More to the point, why would anyone want to lick Forster's arse?

gus out , wilkins back !!

 

[driller]

If they did genuinely come in with a concrete offer, you could not blame him for leaving, but why would Villa take a gamble on a relatively unproven lower league manager?

Obviously complete rhubarb though!

did they not do this with gregory?


(admit he did play foor them though)

The difference is that was when Doug Ellis was Chairman, this American seems a lot more business minded.

Has TCB answered this yet...?

The reply will be very interesting...!

you are a negative influence to this board. You have yet to see Torbjorn play, so can't say it is likely he will be awful. Holroyd does have potential, just wait and see. Barnes is bloody brilliant, and also has even more potential to be brilliant, as he is very young! all better than Forster.

Remind me, how many goals has Forster scored this season for Brentford?

 

[Scoffers]

We have a respected manager, and although he's not achieved much yet, you can bet that a number of Premiership and Championship Chairman are watching him with interest. I'd say he'd be a massive gamble right now, but if we are in playoff contention come the business end of this season, you can be sure an offer will come his way. It is only a matter of time, for sure.

Whether he succumbs to the offer or not will depend on who that offer comes from, and how much further he thinks he can take us. I would like to think that he would only leave us for a top 10 Prem side, but I have BHAFC tinted goggles on !

Spot on there pretty much. I would add though that it may also depend on how happy or frustrated he will be with the squad and how much he can take it forward in terms of budget and support.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Gus wouldn't disappoint us, and as good a manager as he is, I doubt he would be offered the job at a top 10 prem side yet. Maybe in a couple years when we are also in the Premiership, but why would he want a sideways move?
