Rafa no longer in the running Slick.

Has anybody mentioned Southgate?

[slick]

Southgate ffs, don't tell Swoops.

I see Martinez is nearly evens now, can't for the life of me see that happening.
I still fancy Hughes even though he is now drifting.

[Swooperman]

Fuckin' Southgate

Fuck off Kop, thats just in retaliation to that Dalglish thread isnt it

Shows how fickle fans are tbh, & that was what I was on about with Liverpool, but Benitez is marmite as well, & a lot dont want him. the others think hes too big or the theory hes out the running is we wont throw the money his way

Cant please some folk. Erm...well, withMcLaren, Ancelotti (thats still making me laugh) & apparently Benitez out, with a strong 'no' on Hughes as well, I'd take Coyle but I've said that all along

[Swooperman]

Moyes is getting about half the votes on Villatalk, I'd like him but cant see it. Rumours are Benitez & Hughes for interviews tomorrow. another rumour is that the Sun is breaking it in the morning.
These polls mean fcuk all as well, its the third one on the same site ffs

Theres a lot of mention of Quique Sanchez Flores y'know, consistently as well

[Swooperman]

That Rafa rule out could be bollocks. sky said & he went out to 8,s before plunging back to 3s

[MickeyPaul]

You could really see Coyle jumping ship again so soon? Is Villa even a step up from Bolton? I don't even think he's that impressive. It's all about his "enthusiam" which probably wears a bit thin after a while with today's pampered pros. And the amount of times he uses the word "quality" in interviews is fucking mental. I picked up on it quite some time ago and he's still at it. "Oooh quality quality.... yeah... quality this and ooooh quality that."

And has an oompa loompa ever succeeded outwith the Chocolate factory? BEHOLD!!!


"They're a quality quality football
club with quality players. They were
quality today and we were quality. Quality."

[Swooperman]

Coyles already taken Bolton as far as he canimo, but the forums are ALL now saying Martinez

[Swooperman]

Kendrick says hes favourite

[Swooperman]

Btw Mick, Bobby Robsons enthusiasm seemed to do him okay

[Swooperman]

Sorry, Matt Kendrick is the Bham Evening Mail bloke whos supposed to be in the know, although Villa werent happy Ancelotti & Hughes were leaked so quick so that could be a smokescreen

[Punter]

Fuck off Kop, thats just in retaliation to that Dalglish thread isnt it

[MickeyPaul]

Btw Mick, Bobby Robsons enthusiasm seemed to do him okay

He had the genius to go with it though. Um..... quality.

Bit hard to tell that at the moment though isnt it ??

Owen Coyle, 44, been managing 9 years

Bobby Robson was 43 when he won his first proper honour as a manager (dunno what the Texaco Cup is) the FA Cup in 1978 after being a manager 10 years. At Ipswich.
Coyle FA Cup semi this season.

How can that be compared at Coyles age. Bullshit comment

[MickeyPaul]

Ooooooooooooh. I didn't know you fancied, Owen. Sorry man. Yeah, I suppose he does have a nice bum. I think the Texaco cup was a comp between English and Scottish sides btw.

I just think the "enthusiasm" thing works a lot better in the lower leagues. The highly paid pros are simply beyond playing football based on passion or feeling.

[Swooperman]

All I'm trying to say is that you cant compare a man that early in his career to Bobby Robson
