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

[Mazrim]

Hopeful, this isnt the Masons or something. We know no more than anybody else.

Simply cannot see Moyes leaving Everton for Villa. May be an upwards step to us, but from his point of view it would be too much of a gamble.

Why a gamble?

[eastie]

Surely fayed would rather Hughes goes now rather than pay him this months wages, cannot see moyes leaving everyone for villa but I'd be happy with Hughes or rafa.

Hey, first post. Came over here because I heard MM is on this forum now.

Whats the inside scoop? Or is this all just a ploy by H&V to get people over to this forum..!!

We've got a kitten.

When I say 'we' I mean my family and not the H&V collective. It's called Jiggs.

Why did you call it Jiggs?

My daughter named it after 'Me and Jiggs' which is her favourite Josh Ritter song.

I wanted to call it (White Man)In Hammersmith Palais.

Because we are very similar sized clubs. A bit more money each season with current competition may make it very difficult to break the top 4-6 clubs. For Moyes if he left Everton where it is comfortable and people will continually be impressed due to lack of resources, and then finished in similar positions with a little more cash at Villa, then it may put bigger sides off in the future. As it is he can continue to keep his reputation as a top manager in waiting. Give him Man City budgets, he will jump. Villa budgets, the gamble is not worth damaging the rep he has at Everton.

Moyes will be a leading target for spurs next summer I believe.

I think typical Spurs will think they can do bigger/better than Moyes.

Or to put it another way, with the sizeable difference in resources between Villa and Everton he will back his talents to improve on what he has acheived with Everton. Which whilst steady and admirable, is basically nothing.
Its not really a gamble at all. He either festers where he is, winning nothing, achieving nothing and never getting a big job because of it, or goes to a better bet for success, which, despite a few setbacks last season, we are.

I think moyes and ancelotti will both want the spurs job next year.

I feel if moyes wanted the villa job he would get it but I think he would have quit everton by now if he wanted our job.

We see different sides of the coin Maz, he would have gone elsewhere by now. Villa is a big job, but not big enough for him to jump yet. I think he has eyes on Spurs, or even Man City.

[Mazrim]

Eastie - I doubt Ancelotti will spend a year pining after the Spurs job and Moyes just isnt their type of manager.

Ozz - Man City or Spurs wont have eyes on him regardless of what he may think. But we'll agree to disagree. Villa under Randy and Everton under Kenwright is a big enough difference to want to jump ship. I have no doubt.

Unless things are going on behind the scenes which we are not a party to.

Hey, First post on here. Been looking at this thred for a while now and havent got round to posting. Personally i think if we went for Ancelotti properly with a good bid, It would be hard for him to turn down. But if he says no to then turn to dutchman steve mclaren would be a nightmare.
Many thanks Matthius
