Who Should be Aston Villa Manager ? Now with new, revised poll

[PaulWinch again]

If it's Ancelotti that would be amazing.

[TonyD]

Please not Hughes.   That would be a very uninspiring move - yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!  Randy you go if you appoint this guy, shows lack of ambition.  We will bounce around 7th to 12th for a couple of seasons.

Same too for Moyes and McClaren.  Carlo get my vote at the moment.  Just hope he would keep bringing the youth players through and not just rely on new big money signing as I feel we have a nulceous of great young players that could be the future of the club.

I also think Sid might be worth a shot, risky but hey so was GH.

 

[PaulWinch again]

Ancellotti ideally, but I'd take Hughes over McClaren.

[garyshawsknee]

I'm just hoping the stories about Hughes are a case of the press following each others leads. Hopefully Kendrick is on the ball and closer to the truth. As he said on  ts last night,it would be crazy for the club not to consider Ancelloti.

I'm not saying Young and Downing still aren't heading for the exit door, but appointing Ancelotti would at the least raise their eyebrows.

[glasses]

Ancelotti would be great, Van Gaal is the only person I would want more than him I think. Moyes would also be good
Hughes, mediocre, but not terrible.
The more I think about Martinez, the more i convince myself that with financial backing at a big club like ours, he could be fantastic. He clearly knows some good Spanish talent, but I guess its difficult to persuade that talent to move to Wigan or Swansea.

[Villafirst]

To quote one of Mr Holloways favourites, why would we want a small time manager who used to be in the big time like him in charge of our football club?

Who used to be nearly famous.

Regarding Ancelotti. Am I the only one that would be more nervous of this appointment than that of Martinez. Has he ever had to run the complete playing side of a club, eg developing coaching, youngsters, and searching for players. And has he really achieved anything outside his Italian comfort zone. Did not really do much at Chelsea when you consider the resources at his disposal.

I suppose winning the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010 isn't doing much.

Not with the Chelsea team he had, in my opinion. And that was whilst he also had Wilkins in the background. But perhaps more importantly from our perspective, is what did he do to develop the team, and to develop, or bring through youngsters. He just managed, albeit reasonably well, the same ageing and deteriorating team. That may be not his fault, but that is not the sort of manager we need.

No, it was HIS Chelsea team - he was the Manager who won the double in 2010!! Duh...

Not as raised as his one eybrow though.

It's on par with Elton John's, when he's singing.

This is interesting.  McClaren's a bit high up the list!  I like the idea that someone, somewhere thought that Fabio might be interested in a more permanent seat at VP but... Roy Keane??

God forbid......if McClaren becomes our Manager I'll certainly not renew my season ticket, the bloke's hopeless!!!

[nick harper]

I'm not sure Ancelotti is the right fit for Villa. He'd give us a short term lift but I'm wondering if he would have the vision and patience to re-shape this side.

I don't know enough about the work he did at Milan and other sides in Europe to be fair and although he did well at Chelsea, the spine and shape of that side has been unchanged for six or seven years now. He was just sensible enough not to change much.

If he was to come - please, no ageing champions league players looking for one last contract. We need a manager who can shape and develop what we've got as well as buy for the long term benefit of the club.

He may be the man - it just doesn't feel right to me.
