Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[mr underhill]

I don't think Dave will come so it's someone who doesn't currently have a job -  Rodgers?

[ldavfc4eva]

Moyes, just for his experience. Everton were always pretty solid when he managed them, that's what we need now, a settled formation and stop the goals. Then build from that.
Doubt he will come though.

Hasselbaink

[PaulWinch again]

Someone who has experienced a reasonably long term period of at least moderate success.

[rob_bridge]

Anynof the Top 3 would be a huge improvement on the current incumbent.

[TheMalandro]

Moyes.

[ROBBO]

Sensibly who would risk their reputation on a club who has gone through managers like a sex maniac in a brothel. For a start if there was the remotest chance that someone decent showed interest the first question he would ask is how much will you pay me and the second is how much do i get to spend in January.We might get past the first question but taking the figures on this site on trust we had a net spend of seven million in the summer.Lerner would probably have to  guarantee somewhere in the region  of up to sixty million, i cannot see it,  welcome Mister Bradley.

Moyes for me, if he's not interested then Prandelli .
As a note of interest all the Leicester fans have only good things to say about Pearson, mate at work's son is in their academy and the players loved him.The foundations Ranieri is building on were laid by him ( a bit like fat Sam at West Ham.) Pearson does have experience of promoting teams which unfortunately looks like one of our main qualities, so although unpopular and not my first choice I just thought I'd mention him.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Ha! Love that de Boer is on there. Why on earth would he come to Villa?

[claret and blue blood]

Any manager ( which Sherwood isn't one and is the real problem) would not be risking their reputation as we are so bad in terms of results and, in such deep shit , would look good to brilliant if he could  save us or at least get our pride back.

[Ron Manager]

You have to be sensible with your expectations. Randy is going to be hit by compensation pay outs yet again not only for Sherwood but for his useless cronies as well.The new manager will have to operate under guidelines that make it impossible to manage properly. By that  I mean not having control of what players are coming in.That rules out Moyes unless he is desperate to come back and even an outsider like Pearson.

What I should imagine we will get is a German manager from the lower leagues who will do
what he is told.He will speak English and bring in German youths who have shown some promise.

All in all the future looks far from promising for us I'm afraid.

Mark Hughes. Same answer as I've said the last three times.

[Chris Smith]

I agree, we only have to progress to being competent to show an improvement. It has been so shambolic since O'Neill flounced off that a manager who sorts this out can only enhance his reputation.

We need experience and a track record that the players will respect. We have to minimise any risk factors, we cannot afford to give anyone a settling period while he gets to know the league or learns the language. If Moyes is interested then we should be doing whatever it takes to get him.

[peter w]

Even more unlikely but Pardew?

[Mister E]

I'd like de Boer but I suspect it will be Rodgers.
