Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[go on the dog]

Ive just had a text off a pal saying board have approached Hull for Steve Bruce!!!!! Hes no longer a pal

[DB]

I wonder if they already have someone lined up?

Hahahahaha

Chortle.

[Billy Walker]

Would anyone want Martin O'Neill back

Nope.  Never go back.

[levico]

I don't have a clue who it's going to be but I just know, just know that the club will cock it up.

[Matt Collins]

I'm intrigued by Karanka. Good defensive organisation would help a lot

[silhillvilla]

Why are people suggesting Rowett FFS !!!

Says the person asking if we'd have MON back.

I didn't suggest Oneill just asked. Rowett would be a brain dead appointment

I'm intrigued by Karanka. Good defensive organisation would help a lot

Would be a decent shout.

Eddie Howe worth a look?

This is me as well. We can all have our wank fantasies about Villa getting Bielsa/De Boer/Whoever in, but we all know - *KNOW* - that it'll be Joe Kinnear or someone like that.

Did anyone else see the special on BBC earlier about this? They had some journo from the Telegraph on and as he said on the show; Villa have an owner that wants to sell, a chairman that has very limited experience of footballing matters, a director of football that is inexperienced, a chief scout that is inexperienced, a manager that is inexperienced, and finally a load of new players that have no experience of playing in the prem. Considering all that, how could it have ever worked?

[silhillvilla]

No to Howe.

It doesn't matter who is Manager at Villa, we have a fundamental problem at Aston Villa and he's called the owner... The structure at Villa Park is also badly set up.. What's needed is for Randy Lerner to find a buyer for Aston Villa asap, once that is done we can start rebuilding the club from top to bottom... We will go down this season regardless of who is Manager, so i think we will struggle to find a decent Manager anyway... This has been building for years and were going to pay for that this season...

Sorry for my negativity but i honestly believe we don't have the players to get us out of trouble this season...
We are a weaker team this season, we sold our best/proven players from last season and replaced them with potential or has beens..
We will need to spend big in January if we are to have any chance this season and our owner will not do that...

[silhillvilla]

I agree we are down this season. I also think Newcastle will be after a new manager tomorrow and we will be second in the pecking order for anyone decent.
Our team isn't good enough. By a distance.

Moyes winning 4 zip today doesn't help does it!

Please god not Pearson

I would like to think that Reilly, with so much influence on players recruitment, would have a say on manager to work with them.

I reckon his pre-existing relationship with Rodgers will come to pass though.

if it is Rodgers who would he have as his assistants? He fired his last two who'd been with him for a long time.

That was the club decision wasn't it. Rodgers was a dead man walking at Liverpool at that point.

Eddie Howe struggled at Burnley.

He knows everyone at Bournemouth, it's his club so think it wouldn't be a sure fire banker plus he signed a new deal down there recently?

[silhillvilla]

Rodgers assistants were sacked by the club behind the managers back.

Just looked it up from an article in The Daily Mail - July 13

The Liverpool manager said he felt he needed to change his support team despite suggestions that he was told to do so at his end-of-season review with Fenway Sports.
'I decided to make a change,' Rodgers said at a press conference in Thailand, where Liverpool landed on Monday for their pre-season tour.
'I had two fantastic guys, both Colin and Mike are great professionals and were very supportive.
'I just felt the need to move in a different direction and the decision was purely made by myself.
