Moyes?

[Pete3206]

We can't appoint a manager just because his team  thrashed us once or twice.

We are appointing him based on a rather good 10 year stint at Everton , a club more similar to villa in size , stature and expectations than any other in the UK.

So, it's already been decided he's been appointed?

IMO Rodgers would be a more progressive appointment if we can't snare Beisla or de Boer.

I was in the wrong tense

No matter whether it was one of those types of players leaving or Tim Cahill retiring, the wheels just never really came off.

Cahill's not retired, he's played nearly a hundred matches for a couple of teams since he left Everton.

Sir Alex is a big fan of Moyes
Maybe he can write a letter of recommendation

He's ever so good at that

Have you ever stopped and pondered what McLeish's 2nd season might have looked like ? Arguably better than what TSM2 delivered

We can't gamble on a foreign manager with no premiership experience, Moyes knows and understands the game here - a short spell in Spain notwithstanding, also, he didn't establish the reputation he had just by beating Aston Villa a few times, he at least knows how to structure a side - and I'm genuinely not sure Tim does. Any Managerial change is a gamble - I'd at least like to gamble on someone who knows, and has a proven track-record in the League he's competing in.

The same as every Alex McLeish Premier League season looks like?

Well sometimes it stops me from sleeping, does that count?

Can't say I have mate

I'm not totally against Moyes by any means, but if you really can't see any downsides then you're just not looking hard enough.

Every manager will have downsides. Moyes will be a solid choice in the long term whether we stay up or go down.

The thought of Moyes long ter.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So we need a quick fix. Carry on..

Why this thing with Biesla. He had no consistent track record, is 60 years old and not won a bean. Limited managerial experience in Europe as well

The thought of Moyes long term - what do we class as long term? The last 5 years have been terrible. I could cope with the next 5 being in the top 10 and stable.
