Lambert's replacement

[mrfuse]

Hope its not Redknapp.....

[tinybutmighty]

AVB or Di Matteo

[SheffieldVillain]

The top eleven from Oddschecker (not that the bookies know anything!)

Tim Sherwood       
Jurgen Klinsmann   
Harry Redknapp      
Mark Warburton                                                                     
Michael Laudrup                     
Roy Keane                  
Neil Lennon                     
Paul Clement                                                                              
Roberto Mancini         
Sven Goran Eriksson   
Marcelo Bielsa      

Klinsmann or Bielsa would be great. I'd like Steve McClaren. I think it will be Ole Solskjær (hope not). Sherwood, Redknapp or Keane would upset me. A lot.                                                             

[paulcomben]

Glenn Hoddle may apply.

[Reuben]

It is sort of exciting

And then you remember where we are in the table

And who is responsible for the decision

[PaulWinch again]

Whoever it is should get a 6 month contract and then go from there.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Anyone who is going to make me want to go to Villa Park every week.

Somebody who will play to score as many goals as possible and, dare I say it, try to win matches.

Solkjaer took Cardiff down limply and did nothing in Championship to suggest he is any use whatsoever. We need a mid table man. We need organisation. We need passion. We need a genuine leader of men.

I would love to see a Laudrup/ Laursen combination but it is unlikely so Sherwood makes a lot of sense. Highly rated as a coach, won half or more of his games last season, got Adebayor playing really well last season to lift Spurs, good with youth etc.

Never understood why some people want Klinsmann. He's only had one club job and that was utterly disastrous. During his time as Germany manager it was an open secret that Jogi Low was the tactician. Just can't see him getting us out of the shit.

Besides, he's got a cushy number with the USA. If he refused to move back to Germany while their manager, preferring to commute from his home in LA, I can't see him upping sticks to Brum.

From the list above, Mancini is the only one I would take.

[Rotterdam]

From that list -

Tim Sherwood       - potential
Jurgen Klinsmann    - potential
Harry Redknapp      - nope
Mark Warburton         - who? Doesn't he play rugby for Wales?                                                           
Michael Laudrup              - not convinced       
Roy Keane                  - nope, nutter
Neil Lennon                     - nope
Paul Clement                            - nope                                                 
Roberto Mancini             - why would he?
Sven Goran Eriksson      - ridiculous suggestion
Marcelo Bielsa   - no idea who he is.

Someone suggested Cesar Prandelli on another thread, that would be a good appointment. Need someone with the experience and character to take a club like villa on and turn things around. A Sherwood type appointment wouldn't really cut it. Not experienced enough and wouldn't command the instant respect that's required.

[passitsideways]

I'm going to enjoy this right up until the moment we appoint Mick McCarthy.

[Stu]

Bielsa is flying high with Marseilles at the moment.

This thread has so much meaning now
