Lambert's replacement

[Gregorys Boy]

Sherwood is a mental gobshite.

I've had enough of shit British managers, whether they be old-school or new old-school.

The last thing I want is some young Allardyce wannabe running around shouting a lot.

Not a sensible option really is it.  At the time Lambert seemed the logical appointment, but we have dropped so far since those days (I know we were well on our way before then, but still) than we really need someone with a bit of experience, passion, and at least a plan b.

How about Di Canio for 3 months

I wouldn't want Di Canio for 3 minutes, let alone 3 months.

Me neither. No Nazis. No tax-dodgers. No disabled-bashers.

Why would Shteve leave derby for us ? He wouldn't
Nor would Moyes

For me I wouldn't bring in a foreign coach for a relegation scrap. Magath at Fulham last season showed that it's a tough ask to come inand nail it straight away.

Agree entirely. 13 games to go and I now think we need someone to oversee that period. macLaren at Derby? I think he's restored his reputation. Other than that Moyes is the only short term-long term viable option.

How is Moyes a realistic short term option?

Only in terms of someone who would be able to do the job in 13 games and stay and improve us past that. Obviously his present employment is a barrier.

Personally, I'd be going all out for Klinsmann precisely because he knows the English game. Prandelli would be amazing, but Klinsmann covers most of the short-and longer-term bases for me.

Houllier out of A&E again is it?

The time to continue foreign was summers 2011 and 2012 but predictably we screwed both those occasions up.

As I've said before this board's track record appointing managers isn't exactly stellar and they really need to get this one right otherwise we go down.

Someone mentioned Billic on another forum, he'd be a good shout out as you'd think he'll eventually end up managing somewhere in the premier league. Currently at Beskitas.

I'd rather have Lambert back than have Redknapp, Di Canio or Hoddle. They can fuck right off. I never want shithouses like them associated with Aston Villa.

How did you guess who I was alluding to? ;-)

Well shit, there goes half my list.

Moyes isn't at Derby.

Moyes, probably not, he's only just moved to Spain.

McClaren - Bigger club. Higher wages. In the Premier.

Getting a little tired of this 'who'd want to leave xyz to come to us'. We're Aston Villa. It's up to Fox and Lerner to sell the club to someone worth giving the job.

There's something about Bilic that I've never been entirely convinced by. Probably that Croatia's squad has a healthy compliment of very talented players, so how much of their success was down to him is open to debate.

[Des Little]

Any manager who has proven experience of winning 13 cup finals is my choice.

[PeterWithesShin]

After McLaren fucked it up last time I doubt we'd go for him again.

Agreed.

I was talking more about Moyes in the long term don't think we would get him before the end of the season, same with SM.
