Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Ron Manager]

Have people forgotten what Nigel Pearson did? Do you honestly want him associated with our club?

What he did  was keep Leicester up from a position not disimalar to the position we find ourselves in now.With a squad not unlike ours.We are not a position to be fussy.Having said that dont be surprised if he turns it down as he wouldn't have full control of his playing staff.

[Ron Manager]

If they want someone cheap who has good connections with the club and might agree with Herr Flick and Val Doonican buying most of the players they could do worse than contact Brian Little.He is still only 61 and would find it hard to turn it down.

We are not going to attract a top manager so why not someone who we all like?

Only problem is they will never have heard of him!

I think Brian's manager days are over.

Couldn't agree more and he got them playing some half decent football too. You don't get the results he did over the last 10 games of last season by playing neanderthal football, certainly not in the Premiership,  and while he might not be to everyone's liking, he's one of the more realistic possibilities available to us, I reckon. He's available, would probably come and is well versed in surviviing a relegation dogfight. That ticks the three boxes for me and he'd probably put up with Lerner for 8 months too.

Moyes? Forget it; he won't be interested. Koeman? Be serious; why would he even give us a second thought? Rodgers? Even if he was interested, which I very much doubt, he's looks a fragile ego to me. Fancy dan at a time when we need some serious bottle. I don't think he'd be up for a relegation scrap, do you?

As I said; 28 games to save the Villa. Forget all this bullshit of long term plans and thrilling football. That's for the birds for now. We're too deeply in the doggy-do for that cobblers.

Fuck me, I rather lacerate my own piles than watch those arses give us their uninformed opinion.

[Des Little]

We have 28 games to get 34-36 points. I'm not at all bothered about style of play, manager's reputation or perception with the press. We just need someone who has a proven ability to win games, however that may be, to come in and drill these players into playing to a winning formula. If we have to play it long or grind the life out of games to get points then let's do it. If that person is someone like Pearson then get him in and he can start tomorrow.

[Monty]

But, again, why would appointing someone like Pearson be seen as less of a risk? From my point of view, that would be taking this talented but still fragile group of players from all over, still adapting but clearly capable of good stuff on their day, and putting them in the charge of a retrograde English bully and maniac who treats professional football like it's a PE class. That strikes me as taking a risk on the Premier League future of Aston Villa.

[mr underhill]

but sticking with Tim's a bigger risk surely?

Soccer Saturday lot were saying he's a good coach and needs more time. I like Merson as a man and a player, but I wouldn't wipe my arse with his opinions on football.

[Stu]

I don't think Monty is saying that, it's more that Pearson isn't offering anything new. The club needs a shot in the arm and the talk of Pearson is very underwhelming.

[Monty]

but sticking with Tim's a bigger risk surely?

Who said we should stick with Tim? It's not a choice between Tim or Pearson.

Edit: Yes, Stu gets it.

[pbavfckuwait]

But Monty we are in the last chance saloon now, so what ever way we jump is going to be a risk. Not saying it should be Pearson, but we need as stated someone who wins football matches end of.

[SoccerHQ]

British candidate- Brendan Rodgers.

Abroad- Bielsa is probably unrealistic and would be too much of a loose cannon in our situation but I'd look at Luciene Favre as he did a great job at Monchengladbach and was being linked with Bayern Munich.

We can't afford him time to learn, this isn't the conference. They really do come out with some bollocks on tv.
