Aston Villa Sack Manager Ads

[Monty]

Have to say, I'd never really wanted Moyes. He's not my type of manager at all - there's something in the dour, cheerless, safety-first way he sets his teams out which makes me really apathetic towards football.

[OCD]

After O'Neill, McLeish and now Lambert, I'm fed up of the whole traditional British approach.

[john2710]

Whatever happens over the next 2 weeks, I'm as certain as I can be that we will have a new manager by the end of June. Lambert cannot stay now, Moyes would be a good appointment. The only question is which division will we be in?

Hopefully we'll have a new owner too.

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.

I think your last sentence would appeal to Moyes. He would only come if money was available and that means new owners comng in

Moyes if in PL. Malky Mackay if in Championship.

Speak for yourself, I wouldn't have jumped at it, nor would  Í now.  He's not a shit manager, he just never struck me as any improvement on MON, and I'd prefer an improvement on MON.

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.

Exactly. After all Big Ron was deemed not good enough for Man Utd.

[Slaphead]

The thing is who could we get that we would want? Some wanted Ollie Solskjaer, some said Gus Puyet and they have both not done very well. Many would have gone nuts if we would have appointed someone like Tony Pulis or Sam Allardyce and look how they have done. Laudrup? Moyes?...

With how shit things have been I would love for us to not fight relegation again, what I would give for mid table at the moment.

But Ron managed Utd for 5 years and won 2 FA Cups with them. Perhaps a better comparison is Frank O'Farrell who succeeded Matt Busby as Utd manager but was sacked after 18 months in charge - after which he never managed another top club.

[Gregorys Boy]

I would take him, but like many others think the timing is wrong.  After nearly 20 years none stop and coming off such a bad experience I am not sure he would be up for the Villa job right now.

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

Collymore just feels as shit as most of us and just wants that plonker gone.

Yeah, I'd forgotten this was such a pro Collymore forum, shame that...

After the last four seasons, that is exactly what I want.  We need someone who can come in and immediately arrest our decline, not someone who is going to bring a philosophy that is going to take a period of time to implement.  Let's worry about the style of play after a few seasons of finishing in the top half.

so we're not allowed to agree with him then? Thanks for letting us know.

up until a few days ago Stan was unequivocal in wanting Lambert to stay and said so on talkshite
