So who do you want as the next Villa manager?

[Boz]

I'd put my money on Moyes. I'd prefer someone with a more attacking style.

No Thanks, there has to be better options if we want attacking attractive good football.

It will all depend on if there are new owners and the money made available, but I agree we should hope for a big name with a reputation for the type of football we want to see.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I'm not as 'into' the game as I used to be but I have never heard of Karl Robinson.  Wasn't he in Neighbours?

No. You're thinking of Tom Robinson. The gay pop singer who went on to found the BNP.

[HolteEnder96]

Laudrup, why not give him a shout?
Swansea always played nice football under him.
Only problem is at Swansea away earlier this year we were talking about Laudrup and their fans were glad to see him go, apparently a bit of a wetter when it comes to knuckling down.
Examples include making players train indoors because it is raining, and not even turning up to training most days.
Mind you, having a manager who isn't there would suit our players, as then they wouldn't have to do anything at training, like they clearly do now, if not then I would love to know what they spend their time 'training'.

After reading the OP, I decided not to read most of the rest of the entries, on the basis that they'd be as dismissive as me about e suggestions on said OP.
Has Poyet been mentioned? The view is that he's fallen out with the Blunderland management and would leave for the right job. May not be right for us but certainly would bring someth ing we've lacked in recent appointments
Pochettino would be a good move.

[The Villa Werewolf]

I hope the OP was very, very drunk when he wrote that.

Phil Brown, FFS.

[Allan C]

I'd give PL a proper try with real investment in the team hopefully with new owners. If not though David Moyes should be favourite.  Please no ex player and if either Phil Brown or Sam Allerdyce get the job I'm finished with the Villa

[supertom]

I hope the OP was very, very drunk when he wrote that.

Phil Brown, FFS.

That's a Villa Kicks level of suggestion right there.

[VillaAlways]

Close the thread.

I stopped reading when I saw Phil Brown being mentioned.

I would prefer Danny Wilson over him.  At least he had a hit with Mary's Prayer.

[pcrowther]

I hope Lambert keeps his job, but he needs to raise his game. he seems to have faith in players that clearly are not good enough. He also said recently that we have a good goal difference. It was minus 14 at the time. Is that his standard ? Lowton cannot mark, defend, tackle and contributes nothing going forward. Similarly Luna. Bacuna a bit better, but capable of being poor also. so out.  Nothing seen from Tonev so far , but Stan's first season was also poor. Gabby could be in every England squad but clearly has no ambition to be. He needs to stop giving the ball away, falling over, and laughing when he misses a sitter. Albrighton, Holt, Bowery, Sylla not good enough. Bennett has shown ability, but needs to improve. Baker needs to learn how to clear the ball more than 20 yards or it s going to keep coming back. Clark needs to learn how to pass. Who knows if Guzan is a good goalie, we can t tell.

[mr underhill]

as recommendations go this isn't exactly glowing

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Christ, that original list was depressing - I'd rather keep Lambert than appoint most of those.

Here's a better list:

David Moyes - available, used to performing well in the Premier League on a budget.

Frank De Boer - won the Dutch league again, and could be looking to move to the Premier League.

Gustavo Poyet - looks like West Ham are after him, so should be within our range too.

Sean Dyche - just got Burnley promoted.

Andres Villas-Boas - currently with Zenit St Petersburg, but might want to get away from that madhouse and come back to a Premier League madhouse.

Tony Pulis - could we put up with shit football, if it meant better results?

Glenn Hoddle - ok, I'm running out of inspiration now.

[JUAN PABLO]

The Soton manager is having talks today


obviously he would do .

[JUAN PABLO]

, but Stan's first season was also poor.

we knew Stan had something there thou , he was brilliant at Celtic .
