Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[TopDeck113]

Why don't these ex-pros who reckon "I've done my badges" go and put them into practice somewhere?  What about learning the trade further down the pyramid? Which, to be fair, is what Lambert had done.   If Yorke was making these claims having overseen a turnaround and a promotion whilst working on a tight budget with, say, Coventry, then there would be some substance behind them.

Fuck off. Go and manage Kidderminster or Stourbridge first and then Burton Albion before you even think about  errr Wolves!

[silhillvilla]

Simon Grayson has more credentials than Yorke. As does John Gregory. Or Kenny Swain. I'd even have BFR back ahead of Yorke.

People getting angry about Yorke becoming our new manager may as well get into a tantrum over the possibility of Ian Paisley Jr becoming the next Pope.

[olaftab]

No that can't happen as you need to be quite senior to become a Pope.

Oh Piss Off Yorkie. We have amused far too many rival fans and neutrals for that matter. Hiring you would be the ultimate Mike Bassett moment.

This is why I never really liked Sherwood that much. It annoys me how ex players think they have a right to a job at a high level. I respect people like Hasselbaink who try and work their way up.

Whoever comes in will need David Blaine and Paul Daniels as his assistants.

and i will lie down in a box so the glamorous assistant can pass them big shiny pieces of metal to chop my body into pieces

Apologies if old news but according to SSN Remi Garde has withdrawn from any media work this weekend on French TV. At the risk of reading too much into this I expect an announcement and whatever the equivilant to the shirt stretch to be done either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

Scary how few genuinely good and realistic candidates there seem to be about (or not as the case may be )

Refreshingly upbeat

Bloody hell.  These French managers are quite 'ansome aren't they. Im not letting Lady Ron see a picture of him!

[rob_bridge]

Do we solely have Doug to blame for our distinct lack of loyal ex players?

Platt, Yorke, Bosnich............

This shortage saddens me greatly - What I'd give for a Brian Little figure to be heading our way.

I don't like it but we gleaned huge amounts for Platt and Yorke and both went on to have a lot of success at club level with others. Sky especially then refers back to their 'Premiership' successes.

Bosnich though? He did less than the square root of fuck all for Yah-nit-ed and Chavski and all of his best playing days were with us.

I keep reading his surname as Gauleiter for some reason.
