Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[PeterWithesShin]

I'd rather he went to some small shitty club with little to no expectations so as he can build up a bit of confidence again. Do the Albion need a new manager?

[Bald Eagle]

They might in a couple of weeks.

He would be a great manager for us. But I would reckon that he would go to Spurs first. It would be the ideal "dawning of a new age" scenario if Moyes and new owners were to be unveiled this summer. Wishful thinking.
But I would hope that United would give him a second season to see how it goes.
As for us, Lerner will probably sanction funds for Lambert this summer for the purchase of Grant Holt and some young lad with pimples from a third division team in Latuania with not a vowel to had in his name. Another for the future.

Suppose  there's a good chance he will take some time away from the game.

I'd have him.  I always liked watching Everton under him.  They played with a hell of a lot of passion.

Not the most progressive manager but I reckon he'd get us back in the top half even with a limited budget.

Pretty much how I see it too.  If he does become available, I could see Spurs and maybe Newcastle being interested too though.

He'd be daft going to either of them. You think we're a managers graveyard?

What Moyes witnessed at Villa Park on Saturday i'm sure would be enough to put him off for life anyway.

Couldn't disagree more. Moyes would start from scratch without the pressure of OT. He's a significant step up from McLeish & Lambert.

I'm in the in camp of course he is. Practically anyone's better than them two. McLeish one year win rate year 21.43%, Lambo's over two 31.33% and falling.

Undoubtedly. Especially after a torrid year at Utd, he'll want a more stable job than those two. He'd be bloody crazy to go and work under Mike Ashley.

Depending on whether they survive, a club like Norwich might be the sort of level he'd want to get himself back on track in management. They're stable and the level of expectation isn't too silly. But I'd probably expect him to take some time out and assess his options in a years time. A stranger thing could happen than him returning to Everton, if a bigger club poaches Martinez in a years time. If he can maintain Evertons form another year, there'll be a few clubs sniffing around him.

Can anyone turning their noses up at Moyes throw a name in the mixer who would take us over in the current state?

[themossman]

I actually can't believe there are people on here doing the 'moyes is shit' thing.

[mr underhill]

no and its unbelievably small-time referring to other  clubs as small and shitty when it more than adequately describes our own at the moment

[dave.woodhall]

The team may be shiity, the club is neither.

[Chipsticks]

nah Martinez is the man

That ship sailed long ago.

Not as small time as that small and shitty club knowing what they are.

He won't be sexy or foreign enough for Tottingham, and he isn't in Mike Ashley's betting circle, so I think both would be non starters. 

He would be an upgrade on Lambert, but it depends how much of an impact getting the tin tack has had on him.

Personally, I'd prefer someone who isn't seen as damaged goods. But I do wonder about those questioning his style of football at Everton.  True, in the early years they were functional and hard to beat more than anything.   Even in that game in 2008 that we edged at Goodison, their main tactic seemed to be to pump the ball into the box at every opportunity. 

He refined that over time though, and his Everton sides from about 2009 onwards were far more easy on the eye.  Which shows he can adapt as a manager.
