Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Dr Butler]

Has Trippier played for Spurs yet at all?

Curbishley and Hoddle have not been linked yet. Disappointing.

or Avram Grant...

UTV
The Doc

[Des Little]

Right now I'd settle for Avram Grant's piss-drinking wife.

Google it.

Don't think so, and on the same note, Lowton is not getting much of a look in as his replacement at Burnley!

Sven Goran Eriksson

Been a while since he had a pay off

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

Agree we should have hired him when MON fucked off but I think he'd had a dispute with The Academy.

Ship has sailed long since.

We seem to have been getting bad injuries down BH for a while , broken legs, ligaments done etc. Was it true Karsa put Benteke out for a few weeks by going through the back of him in a challenge in a game at BH ?!

Source?

Or is another bullshit supposition?

That story was doing the rounds quite a bit at the time .

Then I'm sure you could provide a link to it.

I am assuming you are asking in hope rather than expectation.

It's in either the karsa / culverhouse thread or the Benteke thread , may even be in the Paul lambert thread from when the 2 got initially suspended and then subsequently sacked .

[Phil from the upper holte]

At least Pearce didn't recommend himself

I dont claim for one minute to be in the know but a mate of mine at work knows an ex football man who knows Gordon Cowans who gave him this info, Gordon said Culverhouse made the tackle in training that caused Benteke's long term injury, Gordon then had a go at Culverhouse about it who got very aggressive, Gabby and Fabian got involved against Culverhouse which led to Karsa diving in, this led to a full on fight which eventually led to the club suspensions.

I guess he's talking about the above.

But it's still impressive that he could remember the gist of the above, but not stop to think that a bloke whose job revolves around laptops and spreadsheets is unlikely to be launching into tackles in training sessions.

It was rumoured to be Culverhouse, not Karsa. I have just read the thread. Anything to not do an assignment.

[aj2k77]

Wouldn't it have been leaked more if Shithouse or Karsa had injured Benteke?

Apparently he missed the interview because his Sat Nav couldn't find Birminem.

[Bottom Right 89]

Shithouse - would make a great book title for Culverhouse's time at the Villa

Back on thread - is Maradonna still interested? Did see Curbs on Sky earlier suggesting he's ready for a new challenge and would expect him to chuck his hat into the ring at some point.

I'm waiting to see if the Remy Garde link goes cold before I put together a covering letter and update my CV - only stumbling block I need to get Dion Dublin and Alan Wrights buy in as my assistants and I know Dubs has daytime TV commitments currently.

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. 

Time will tell, but he is highly rated.  I'm struggling to remember exactly what I have read but the opinion coming out of St Georges Park (or whatever it is called) is that he's been their best graduate.  They also said that he's continued to go there to study and teach the current students.  I would not want him as our manager but the guy seems to be doing it correctly (studiously?) which is not something I typically associate with british managers.

I don't know if I heard the radio correctly this morning as I got into the car, but I heard speculation about Nigel Clough being our new manager?
