Moyes?

[myf]

I think who really would want the villa job anyway we have become run of the mill over the years

Southampton attracted Pocchetino, a club who were a few years before bankrupt and in the 3rd division.
Watford poached a well thought of coach from the Spanish league, they're a complete nothing club who were in the 2nd division.

We've had a bad 4 years, but let's not have a collective memory like a sieve, things can all change in 12 months. The manager are out there, they will come, we need to sell the club to them and have some ambition.

we cant afford to gamble on an updand coming foreign manager. They could

[Villa Lew]

Moyes spent 11 years at Everton, which in this day and age is an outstanding achievement. On the downside he never won a trophy. The main candidates for the job would be Moyes, Rodgers and Pearson and any of those would give us a better chance of avoiding the drop than sticking with Sherwood.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but when Soton appointed Pocchetino they we're near the relegation zone.

[OzVilla]

I think so, under Adkins theyd been on a bad run but I'm pretty sure he won his last game in charge, then they gave him the bullet.

[Drummond]

Better than Sherwood, obviously, but what worries me is that the players look depressed and in need of a lift and a spark - and Moyes is in no way the type of manager to provide that.

Actually, I think the opposite is true.

All anyone wants is a manager that knows what he/she is doing. People like to be organised and have clear duties and responsibilities. Moyes would give us that.

I think he's dull though.

[footyskillz]

Moyes Is far better than Sherwood probably ever be. I would have Davy moyes in and know the PLAYERS will fight and battle. He's a manager who has experience is what villa need right now and would show the right attitude.having had experience if Everton and man Utd he's right calibre. Moyes would be excellent given circumstances and it seems its been put out there to the press to show that its only a matter of time that Sherwood is gone. Moyes also often bought decent players to fit a type at Everton and is shrewd as a manager. That's what villa need and I welcome moyes with open arms.

Is this the same dull dour David Moyes MON's big spending couldn't get the better of?

Moyes is the best fit for Lerner. Kept Everton up comfortably. He never won a trophy but i expect Lerner wouldn't be bothered about that anyway.

[mr underhill]

He isn't remotely interested though according to that smug twat who SSN use as their Spanish football Oracle.

What I would like to happen is for us to identify a top quality manager and make him a financial offer he can't refuse.  That probably means a foreign manager and sobeit. Moyes, Rodgers, Pearson, each having recent failures to come to terms with would regard our job as getting back on the horse after falling off, whereas we need somebody still in the saddle. 

In my mind's eye I see a man (young, old, middle aged) going home after taking training and greeting his wife ( in German, Spanish, French or Swahili) "pack your bags dearest, we are off to England". " England? I like it here. My mother lives here." "She can come with us. They are going to pay me five times what I earn here. Do we have any champagne?"

Brian  Could you explain to the posters how Pearson failed? Exactly the opposite I would have thought.We may not want him for non footballing  reasons but he saved Leicester from relegation with a series of wins in the latter part of last season.Failure I don't think so!

Pearson? What about the other 29 games when they got 20 odd points, Before they went on a great run. You may as well compare him to Tim given the short term effect both managers had. Leciester are doing much better without Pearson.

Cant beleive anyone would consider Pearson given he was good for about 10 games. As was Tim

Given how accurate he is, if it's the one I'm thinking of, Moyes probably landed at BHX an hour ago.

[OzVilla]

Moyes would be a real coup for us given our current situation on the pitch and in the Boardroom.  I think it's the best we could expect under the circumstances.

That's not really in Lerner's Modus Operandi though.  We'll probably end up with George Burley.

[mr underhill]

Colin Powell would be good - he'd sort these underachieving wankpuppets out.

[Chris Smith]

I'd be up for some dour, result grinding 4th, 5th or 6th place finishes about now. Hell, breaching that forty point barrier would be a dream.

Get that private jet over to Spain.

Well we can all agree on that. I would hope the jet was headed to pick up Toral from Villareal though 

Although it might put the frighteners on a few of the players I am concerned with the practicalities of having a Vampire as manager.
