Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Toronto Villa]

Bad English & SamTheMouse, is there something in French contract law which would prevent them leaving as easily as they might be able to here?

Not as far as I know. In fact, it might be the other way around, since French labour law generally affords more protection to the employee than the employer. Like any other employee, their contracts would presumably be covered by the Code du travail, so they would be allowed to leave, but the employer would need to be compensated if they didn't work a two-month notice period.

Could just be the process they are going through. It's only been 3 days. In that time it's given every British "expert" a chance to pedal out every one of their lads as the next Villa manager. I'll panic when reputable sources like Julien Laurens or Phillipe Auclair, or the club themselves suggest that this isn't going well, or that he isn't a target. So far since both of the sources from France have reported interest from us, in return from Garde there has no real update from them. And since that time we've been treated to the wisdom of expert and world renowned pundits like Redknapp, Jenas, Alan Brazil and numerous other mates of Sherwood's.

Let's breathe, enjoy our victory tonight and hopefully the club is taking the time it needs to get the right man in place by the weekend or shortly after.

hear, hear.

In fact, thinking about it, the fixed-term contract conditions I mentioned above apply to all such contracts, in all industries. So they will definitely apply to the backroom staff.

Which means the only way to get Garde's coaches from Lyon is by mutual agreement (i.e. make the club an offer they can't refuse) or by offering the coaches permanent employment contracts.

Agree with TV. One thing we know for sure when our people decide to go after someone they always end up getting  them. There is usually a period of quiet activity inbetween where we panic and Press makes lurid irresponsible suggestions!

Psycho sez Dyche.

Villa are searching for a new boss to lead them out of an ongoing relegation battle, and Stuart Pearce has told talkSPORT that the Midlands side should look to hire Sean Dyche of Burnley, who he calls the best manager outside of the Premier League.

Pearce said: “If I was Aston Villa, I would go and get Sean Dyche. He is the best manager outside the Premier League at this moment in time. Danny Ings, Kieran Trippier and Jason Shackell all left in the summer and Dyche has still managed to maintain Burnley.”

Another one of England's lads and managerial recruitment guru speaks. Thanks Stuart. I imagine you roared your opinion with fist clenched.

He is one of the best managers in England outside the Premier League. I dare say there are a few other managers in Germany, Spain, France etc... who are probably better.

Wash your mouth out.  Everyone knows that those cheeky foreign types only get their chances over here because of the patronage of all these foreign owners.  It's got nothing at all to do with the fact that most of them can't hack it at the top levels when they have to go up against people who've actually got a clue.

But are they 'proper football men'..... There is a real xenophobia about English football at times.

Can you imagine. Burnley couldn't score for love nor money last season. Not a record that screams appoint me to a relegation fight is it.

And all he had to do was spend £8m on a new striker.

What a genius.

Grant Holt was a proper man according to TSM2. No non-pie-based improprieties.

Has Trippier played for Spurs yet at all?

Curbishley and Hoddle have not been linked yet. Disappointing.

Curbs has just been on SSN saying Randy spoke to him a few years back when the job was available but then went with someone else.

I actually like Curbs but as he said he's been out of management far too long
