and then who?

This vote isn't right.

There should be an option on 'anyone else'


It's quit simple, we need to go back to basics and learn how to play a game of football, that's defend, attack and possession.

We need someone who isn't so stubborn, I'm sick of stubborn people.
I'd gladly have someone from the lower leagues, who has earnt his stripes.
If I had a real choice, I'd pick Harry Redknapp, no nonsense, gets the basics right and plays good football, although our treatment of him means it won't happen.

It's tempting to look at Southampton and think "I'll have some of that please" but then I suppose a foreign manager with fancy ideas could go one of two ways, ie either take the league by storm like Pochettino  or fail miserably like Venglos.

There has to be some new thinking though, as although I think Lambert should go, there's very little point in sacking him and replacing him with another identikit British manager like say, Adkins. I'd love to see somebody dedicated to a passing football ideal though, ie with a similar outlook to Martinez or Rodgers.

Neville would kill for the villa job.  Not saying he's qualified though. 

Most ridiculous post ever, He'd never come to Villa/

He speaks highly of us as a club and I think he would fancy a crack at management, especially a PL post.

[Legion]

I'm sure he does. Would he be any good though?

[Damo70]

He would be a gamble but there aren't many other feasable names who excite me.

[Dante Lavelli]

I'm sure he does. Would he be any good though?

Not exactly set England on fire has he?  And from some comments I think he'd be a bit too keen on 442, which I'm not a fan of (can't remember what the comments were though).

[N'Zimidy]

Don't see Neville dropping his commentary, punditry and England gig halfway through the season to come to us.

Even Phil Thompson wouldn't come when Houllier went knocking for him.

Surely the England tactics are Hodgsons ? i'd be game to take a chance on him talks a good game at least and can't be any worse.

If we were to change the manager now really we'd have to go with a manager with a proven premiership record, bringing a foreign or even lower league manager in with no experience of the premiership would just be too risky in my opinion. Coming in to a completely new league in the position we are in at this time of year and with the squad we have would be amazingly hard for any manager. You need someone that has been there and done it before and can provide confidence to the team.

Personally i would go with Redknapp. A contentious choice no doubt, but he's a good manager that can get teams playing good exciting football, he has an eye for a bargain as well, and would be able to get a few good experienced players in to improve us in the window, which is what we desperately need at the moment.

I think he would probably be a short term solution though. What we need at the club most is consistency, consistency of approach and footballing style that stays whichever manager comes in. Maybe it's time to think about getting a DoF in to give us that?

[eastie]

I'm in the AVB or OGS camp, still think AVB has a lot to offer hands tied a little at spurs with Baldini controlling the transfers. OGS is risky but maybe Neville as his no2 would work.

Why would Neville want to work as a number 2 to OGS?

Then your option is other from UK. It's not hard. The point is to have an idea of how you would improve the situation we're in. It's not enough to just say Lambert out, the question is then who? There has to be some coherent strategy or we will end up like Wolves when they sacked McCarthy.

[SoccerHQ]

Of the premier league managers cycle the best I can see is Di Matteo and people find faults in him despite turning Chelsea's season around.

I really think we need to steer clear of the british manager and go abroad.

That's the name I was looking for. Mick McCarthy.
