Lambert's replacement

[Flamingo Lane]

Rarely does it work out well when a decision to sack a manager is taken as an act of desperation at such a late stage in the season, and I'm afraid my money would be on Tim Sherwood on a two year contract.

One thing now, the players are out of excuses and places to hide.

Collymore suggesting Moyes and Big Sam.

Here's one for you.

Brian Little + any two Southgate/Yorke/Townsend/Taylor,I

A kind of managerial meal deal.

Brian Little with Southgate/Laursen/Dublin/Mellberg/Saunders.  They'd be shit of course, but would probably beat the current lot in a 5-a-side.

Well it isnt 2010 or 2011 so we missed those boats.

We went for an ill arrogant bloke and a useless fucker who bored us to tears those times.

[FranzBiberkopf]

There seem to be two distinct schools of thought here.

Short-term, do anything to preserve PL status camp. Hence the Sherwoods, Hoddles, Redknapps, etc.

Longer term, short term risk. Hence the Klopps, Tuchels, Nevilles.

Personally I can see no benefit in giving someone like Sherwood a two year contract. That's definitely not the answer, and will mean we'll be having this exact same conversation in 18 months time.

Southgate as DOF with a foreign coach (not sure who though)

[KevinGage]

Southgate spent half of his Villa career trying to get away.

Just the sort of turncoat you could do with in the trenches.

[PaulWinch again]

Collymore suggesting Moyes and Big Sam.

Two managers who I imagine would have zero interest in the job.

[pav]

I'd snap hand off for big Sam atm

Southgate as DOF with a foreign coach (not sure who though)

No thanks

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Somebody who will get Benteke firing and scoring the goals to keep us up.
So how about on a short term contract Marc Wilmots or his old manager at Genk Mario Been ?

[cheadlevilla]

I would just love some of the excitement of 1991 to return ... The arrival of BFR the hope and the feeling that we had got it right !!!
