Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Dave]

so. just to sum up.  We are bottom of the league, no Manager, a squad containing 13 new players which all take time to gel, we have no Manager and we are yet again trying to appoint someone untried and untested at this level.

*sigh*

They're not looking to give the job to Chris Evans or Claudia Winkleman or George from Rainbow.

They're looking to hire an actual football manager, who is tried and tested in the field of 'being a football manager' so that's already a plus on where they went last time.

I bet Randy's holding up the deal by refusing to give Bungle the release clause money. Tight bastard. They asked Zippy for a comment, but for some reason he was unable to talk.

[silhillvilla]

Didn't sillhillvilla want Kevin McDonald to be given the job? Or have I just made that up like he probably did?

I asked him who he'd want and he picked one who he said "we probably wouldn't get" (Moyes) and two who he knows perfectly well would never be considered (Allardyce and O'Neill). Thus guaranteeing he can still reserve the right to moan if we appoint anyone who we actually might appoint.

Moyes ruled himself out today

So, of the realistic candidates who it is vaguely possible we might appoint, who would be your choice?

[pauliewalnuts]

I would much rather wait a couple of weeks for the manager they really want, if it is someone who is likely to drag us into the twentieth century, than appoint some shmuck in a hurry because we have a couple of matches to play.

Just imagine some of the horror options they could turn to.

He said that he didn't want the job in his interview at Sociedad's game at the weekend.

Not that it means anything, regardless of when he said it. When he's employed by them he's hardly going to pipe up with "yeah, bollocks to this contract I'd much rather be back in England. They don't even get the fucking Apprentice over here".

He might want the job, he might not but what he says in press conferences is going to have very little to do with it.

100% record of avoiding relegation?

He clearly has strong feelings about Villa. Bring him home.

So, still refusing to give a realistic candidate so you can moan, whoever we appoint.

Jesus lighten up. Realistically ? Moyes if it's still realistic or an option. Rodgers is a no for me. Pullis unrealistic as we won't pay the compo. Garde I know nothing about so can't say either way. Dyche please no. Pearson no.
Seriously I would not rush into a dodgy appointment I would let kmac and Sid hold the fort.

[cdbearsfan]

I wanted one you would like, rather than just ruling out loads more.

[Dave]

So, is this you going on record to say that of your myriad of whinges, none of them will be that we are taking too long to appoint a manager?

Doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as it is one that they are happy with? Yes?

[Monty]

Jesus lighten up.

Really?
