Quote from: Michel Sibble on February 12, 2015, 10:55:40 AMTim Sherwood does sound like an unimaginative appointment: great on motivation, not so great on tactics. Depressingly, he seems to be the favourite.Couple of names not mentioned so far: how about Nigel Adkins or Steve Clarke?I'd like Adkins.

Quote from: The Sound of Villadelphia on February 12, 2015, 10:59:56 AMPat Murphy on 5 live "The new Aston Villa manager will be recommended by the chief executive Tom Fox, with the owner Randy Lerner prepared to rubberstamp his decision. Lerner will not be part of the interview process. "Lerner operates out of New York and is hardly ever in Birmingham, as he comes to rely more and more on the advice of his fellow-American whom he appointed as CEO last September. It was Fox who recommended Lambert should be sacked after Tuesday night's defeat at Hull. "Fox will take soundings from Villa's director of recruitment Paddy Reilly and an inner circle of trusted colleagues before moving in on a target. Coaching expertise will be essential - Villa were short in that area during Lambert's tenure - and they won't be put off if their preferred candidate is with another club. "Although time is on Villa's side in that their next Premier League game is not until a week on Saturday when they are at home to Stoke City, Fox will want a swift appointment."Promising.

Gareth Southgate ? just thought I would chuck that in with my Ferguson shout...UTVthe Doc
People will laugh at what I'm about to say next, but the only available-ish guy I can think of who ticks all the boxes you highlight is Rafa Benitez. It would take a major shift in Lerner's ambitions to get him on board but he has the reputation, profile and winning mentality to get Villa moving forward again. If Fox wants to attract bigger sponsorships etc. this kind of appointment would be a serious signal of intent. I believe Benitez's contract at Napoli ends in the Summer, which would mean a relatively low pay-off, I assume.
