Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[NeilH]

I'm not picking on you in particular, there are loads of comments like this on here, but I hate the constant British 'must work harder' mentality to failure, hard work helps but so does being trained and having the tools to do your job.

We are in grave danger of losing our Premier League status - its about staying up right now, not trying another experiment. We tried an experiment with Venglos and it nearly got us relegated, we did the same with Timmy and look where we are now. Call me risk averse, but trying stuff out variably seems to disaster for us. Its no coincidence that Sunderland have gone for Allardyce.

Poyet for fuck's sake.

Hopefully just this agent talking shite

[Ron Manager]

I have just shown Lady Ron a picture of Remé Garde. She suddenly showed an interest in football I have never experienced before. Apparently he is quite acceptable
.
Hmmmm!  I think we ought to go for Nige!

Is this a joke?

@SkySportsNewsHQ: Sky Sources: Gus Poyet on shortlist for vacant Aston Villa manager job #SSNHQ

Failed at Brighton, then at Sunderland. Oh yes let's get him in. FFS

Just because SSN says he's on the shortlist, it doesn't mean he actually is.

I'm sure we said that about McLeish once upon a while.

That's what make me nervous but IIRC Faulkner was making a right hash of recruitment so Randy just said we'll get McLeish.

AND THEY DID!!!!

[Toronto Villa]

why are people falling for the Poyet thing? Does anyone remember who the Sunderland manager was as countless thousands streamed out of the ground as Gabby walked through their defence and made it 3-0? And he sat in his chair looking like a fucking chump



And we are about to give this bloke a job? Get real.

correct. Before anyone jumps of the bridge please cast an eye back to the summer when none of the muppets we were linked with in the transfer window joined the club. And instead we signed players that were the very opposite of the types of players we were linked with. Also, from a media standpoint it's totally within reason for them to throw any old bollocks name at the job. It's their job to keep the audience engaged even if it is utter nonsense.

Indeed. Robbie Nielson and Steve Holland are both 20/1 on Sky Bet. I've never heard of either of them.

I wouldn't necessarily judge Poyet on his record at Sunderland - I heard Barry Glendenning describe them as having an 'arsehole dressing-room' once, and that's the main problem.

Not that I'm advocating Poyet, just suggesting there might be mitigating circumstances to account for his time there.

That's the thing with the Alex McLeish appointment it can always be used like the
' in America' statement so that the totally unbelievable becomes believable when used

Mrs Glasses agrees. The addition of french accent increases acceptability in her eyes.

If Poyet is on the list then I should be in with a shout of the position, My Saturday team won 6 nil FFS

I've also managed Southampton to the premier league title in Football Manager...it's only fair I'm "given a chance" at a top job

Has to be Cattermole?

[PaulWinch again]

Poyet I don't fucking think so.
