The replacement for MON...?

[PaulTheVillan]

Jol or Klinsmann please.

Hasn't Jurgen been linked with us in the past?

It has to be one of these two imo.  I dont understand why Hitzfeld isn't linked when he was linked with Fulham.

[UK Redsox]

I doubt Jurgen will come. I think he'll be the next USA manager

[Matt C]

When Bradley comes to us?

[mshurst]

Why am I the only one who thinks Bradley would do a good job? It's not like he did terrible with Ze Yanks in the World Cup.


Perhaps I'm not reading into this. But I'd welcome him, TBH.

[Dave P]

Which 7 people voted for O'Leary ?

[Matt C]

We've got a sense of humour at least.

I think, I hope, that Randy will see this as an opportunity to make a real statement by appointing a top manager.

Despite being very fond of MON (although I'm annoyed he's chosen to walk away with the lousiest timing imaginable) I wont miss the arguments (and fair comments) about lack of tactics, favourites, no subs, shit journeymen signings from the UK only... etc.

I think its time to go in a new direction and whilst I think Bradley is a solid manager he's not what we need. We need a tactician, a leader, a motivator and a cool head.
It doesnt suprise me to hear tales of MON falling out with people and throwing his weight around. That passion was always admirable but also on the boil all the time.

The best case scenario is that we try and pursuade Hiddink to come and Turkey to let him go. But if not, somebody of that ilk. In the meantime I have faith in Kevin Mac. He has the reserves playing good football and he's a proper coach. I dont think Walford and Robertson are that at all.

So, like I say, change can be good and exciting although the timing stinks. I just hope the change is for the better because despite what you may have thought about MON, it could be a whole lot worse.

We just have to trust Randy, and I do.

[TimTheVillain]

This is a time when you begin to realise that the club is very light on the floor when it comes to dealing with these things, and in terms of football knowledge in general.

I do hope Randy doesn't take a punt on Bradley, Jol looks out of the reckoning ( happy at Ajax), so Billic ? Curbishley ?

Jeez, thank you Martin, your timing sucks.

After thinking about it for a while my favourite from the list would be Moyes but I don't think he'd swap one mid-sized club operating under a tight budget for another.

[BannedUserIAT]

I dunno. There's something just wrong about Moyes. Not sure what. Maybe it's the bug-eyes, maybe it's his rubbish accent, maybe it's because Tim Cahill is a complete cock.

No, don't want him at the Villa. We need someone with flair. Not some bug-eyed sweaty.

He wouldn't come anyway Troy, fret not.

No, we're left with a boat load of unemployed Managers I reckon.

Shame ( for me anyway) that Hughes took the Fulham job.

Well reasoned as ever, Troy <wink>

[BannedUserIAT]

I've no rational reason at all.
He's just.....wrong.

Shan't relax till Sven's ruled out.
