Lambert's replacement

[Seb_AVFC]

So what's good old Ole Gunnar up to these days? ;-)

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Collymore suggesting Moyes and Big Sam.

No chance they would leave their current posts.
Longer term: either... possibly.
Neither excite me.

Tom fox might have a bigger say in it than even Lerner, as he is here and Randy isn't, and fox is the man that had to work along side of the new man

So maybe his time at Arsenal will play a part, he might see Villa in the same sort of vain as the gunners, traditional, big history, club with a bit of class all be it faded, if he could find us the next Wenger I'd be happy with that

That's a pretty high expectation for anyone john!

With you in spirit and hope mate, but I don't know if they make many Wenger types any longer.

UTV!

Shaun Teale has just offered his services on Facebook.

No up-and-coming-next-best-thing.

No sentimental he-once-played-in-the-shirt-so-he's-one-of-us.

No traditional-"English"-manager of the type that was successful in another era.

I'll take the short-term fix if it means that we stay up, but for AVFC this is the most important managerial appointment of the twenty-first century.  We have to get it right, otherwise recent history is just going to be repeated

Love Mr Teale

Quite simply, don't appoint anyone on the basis that "they're Villa", "they understand the club", or any other Geordiesque nonsense.

Pick the best man for the job.

I agree. I do hate all that 'Villa connections' rot.

We're a great club, and to us a very special club, but we're not appointing someone to the Supporters' Trust. We're a football club in a certain footballing circumstance and that's all there is to it.

Absolute bunkum from the pair of you

They have just put a list of the last 9 Villa managers win rates up on TV
only two have Villa connections through playing and they lie 1st  and 3rd in that league

What are the bookies saying?

And how true is that for any other team in the world? What's so different about Villa in this regard?

Actually no, you're right. I reckon Dwight Yorke would be a better manager for us than Pep Guardiola. After all, Pep has no Villa connections, does he?

[olaftab]

Hope we appoint the cleaner woman off the Thomas cook advert.......

She can turn a villa round in no time 

Keep it clean please.

[Des Little]

Sean Dyche second favourite. I'd take him.

[Hookeysmith]

My personal choice for what it is worth

Hoddle as DOF - big enough name in the game to command some respect

Sherwood - tough fucker who got a bunch of turncoat prima donnas playing and winning in a short space of time after they stopped playing for AVB

Contracts till end of season with a huge financial incentive based on keeping us up

Then reassess in the close season
