Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[curiousorange]

Collymore apparently has had a phone call from a credible friend saying Moyes would be very interested in AVFC.....

Careful what you wish for - some chanted for the muppet in charge now.

Moyes not being good enough for Man United doesn't make him a bad manager. He was no worse than Pubey and managed to achieve more having spent a lot less.

I want Moyes for Villa. But, then again, I am watching MU Norwich, which suggests that he is an idiot. Because, thank goodness, they are spanking our relegation rival.

Agree

He would be my first choice to replace PL. he would be hungry to prove the doubters wrong

After all there aren't too many other candidates

[curiousorange]

The thing is, I think Moyes would be a good fit with this Villa team. No stars, a largely untapped youth system, great potential, low expectation...

The only negative is that by and large, I don't want to see this Villa team ever again.

I have changed my tune. if Moyes would come, sign him NOW. Do not wait till we are relegated, as I think we will be this season.

This is our last chance to sign a premier league manager. Nobody decent will come next season if we are down.

Actually I find this pretty distasteful.
Our manager is Paul Lambert - there is no 'Villa job' for Moyes to be intersted in. After all the talk of how bad MU were with dealing with his sacking, I find it fairly disrespectful from Moyes to suggest he's interested in a job that is presently occupied by one of his colleagues....

I would imagine it was a private conversation, not an interview with Parkinson. It was Collymore's decision to retweet it.

I also think you're well in the minority that's not excited about someone - anyone - replacing Lambert.

Didn't say I wasn't keen, just that the idea of going public about wanting another managers' job was a bit shit. Surprised by Stan, to be honest, about putting it out there in the first place.

If the club sacked lambert tomorrow then the week could be used to interview candidates without being sleazy about it.

I understand he removed it not long after. Kind of like sellotaping the barn door shut on a place like Twitter.

Collymore is a journalist Tim, its his job to be provocative mate. It gets him callers to his programme too. Just saying like.

Agreed. Tim is being overly sensitive in a business where it is dog eat dog

[martin o`who??]

If someone had said Moyes for Villa a year ago, we would have jumped at it, now 10 months at Old Trafford and suddenly he`s a shit manager and we dont want him.well, i for one wouldnt say no.

it's not that he's a shit manager. It's just that he might not be what we would like as a fan base now. If you want stability and overall consistency then Moyes would work. If you want to see a different style of play and players at VP, then maybe Moyes isn't the right manager. There are plenty of redeeming qualities about Moyes, and hypothetically speaking, if we got him you pretty much know what you'll get over a few years of rebuilding. But don't expect Martinez or Rodgers style of football. He'll give us a strong but unspectacular Villa in the end, but there will be plenty of dour moments. He did have a good home record with Everton so that would definitely be a plus. The big question is, what has the last nine months done to him and does he want to start again with someone like us? Because in many respects it would be like starting again.
