Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[silhillvilla]

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

I can't think of anyone in the "realistic" category

As I thought. So as you didn't suggest anyone, you'd agree it would be unreasonable to moan when we do appoint someone?

I've said I'd like someone a bit different and continental. Not that I'm against the idea of appointing a British candidate if one appeals, but none of the British candidates excite me, for various reasons.

I suggested Rene Girard beforehand. Bielsa would be a dream appointment. I'd be more than happy with De Boer too. I hadn't heard much of Remi Garde before we were linked but, having read a bit about him, he seems exactly the sort of manager I wanted us to get so I'd be excited if we got him.

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.

20th Century ?

Yes, we're stuck in the late 19th century.

I'd hate that. Winning the league and the cup all the time. What a nightmare!

Playing state-of-the-art passing football too, thanks to our Scottish connections.

With our innovative 3-2-5 formation.

3-2-6 if you count Athersmith's umbrella.

To be honest, when we appointed sherwood I mentioned I was underwhelmed and thought it was a poor choice. Last season he proved me wrong and I got behind him, in his sacking I have no ill feeling for him ( as many seem to) , the underlying problems at the club will hamper even the best of managers IMHO.

If Baticle is dragging his feet I suggest we get Swiss Phil to take him to Geneva and put him in the CERN Baticle accelerator.

Brilliant.

This situation is becoming farcical. I might write an article about how it would never happen at the Arsenal.

Maybe he wants to take a break before joining us, a Baticle sabbatical

Carrot or stick to get iclebat ? 

[PeterWithesShin]

Has to be Pele for me. He knows how to solves the problem of staying up.

[cdbearsfan]

No thanks, he's got an even worse record at Villa Park than Sherwood.

[brontebilly]

Amavi fannying out of a 50/50 cost us a goal there

I would!

Maybe our next sponsor should be viagra. No problems staying up then!
