Didn't Xia say last week that he knows who the manager is but doesn't want to say anything just yet and all will be revealed next week, or something along those lines?

One thing gnawing at the back of my mind is this continual " next week "  thing, given that, in a week or so the Championship play-offs and Toulon ( U 21s ) Tournament will be over, which could ostensibly put Steve Bruce or Gareth Southgate in the frame. I was going to include ´Dai´Coleman but thankfully that ship has sailed.  Probably just ´dark imaginings´ brought on by , Villa induced, abject depression ,hopefully all will be settled by weeks end and I can rest easy.  ................Godzvilla!

Zia hasn't got control of the club yet therefore a manager is unlikely to be named until the Football League deem him to be a worthy custodian of the ownership.
Who the f**k is Zia? - Pakistani former General and President?

Oops  please accept my most humble apologies!

The Pearson 'in waiting' talk has been round since Garde's sacking, if we don't appoint him now then I'd be very surprised. Especially as he's Hollis' first choice, and legally, Hollis is still running the club. So, I assume he's got a bit of influence on Dr Xia.

I think it would be wrong to assume Hollis has any influence on the new owner at all (especially once the sale is rubber stamped).
I'd like to think Dr Xia would get some advice from people who know the club. Who knows?

Why are we assuming that he is Hollis' first choice?
I'm not assuming, I'm going off what I've read in the paper.

I'd have really liked Dyche for some reason.

I'm glad there's no chance of Dyche, he always sounds like he's got a fly down his throat after a match and his beard is a shocker.

He looks like a bouncer and his voice sounds like he should be commentating on Rugby League.

Dyche could be the new Guardiola for all I know, but Christ in heaven that beard.

I have no source but someone just text me saying Pearson has ruled himself out - something about not wanting to be 2nd fiddle / choice

Probably BS

Well he'd be 3rd choice. And that's not even including all the managers who are so good there was no point in us talking to them.

I think I'm mentally set on RDM, and it's not that bad really. He speaks well, his record isn't all that bad. He'd got us promoted and he's had management experience and playing experience abroad and international experience. He brings a lot of good things to the table and he will present himself very well as an ambassador of the club.

Di Matteo for me. I would have preferred Moyes, but I'm risk averse. Pearson can go fuck off and strangle his son or something, would prefer not to have the arrogant, know it all, gob shite at the club.

I'd like Dyche. I'd have also liked Rodgers, even though he get's on my nerves.
Pearson is the type we need. Someone who can motivate and be the boss. Garde was never the boss, you could tell just by looking at him that he never had the players onside.
I like the way Roberto Martinez's team attack, but he wouldn't get the fight and steel needed for the championship.
Di Matteo?... I haven't a clue, I didn't take any notice of him anywhere he's been really. Obviously the CL win for Chelsea, but he had a great side with a fantastic spine, Cech, Terry, Lampard, Mata and Drogba.
