Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[rob_bridge]

Just browsing a couple of online articles at work. Jamie Redknapp calls Garde an uninspiring choice (meaning he's probably never heard of him), then says "you can't tell me there aren't English managers available with better credentials". Yes I can Jamie. It's also typical apparently that we're looking abroad for a manager (yes Jamie, all of our recent managers were foreign weren't they).

THEN, elsewhere we have Wenger telling us that we didn't give Lambert enough time!!

Alan Brazil (yeah I know) can't understand why we'd look abroad when Nigel Pearson is available.

I need to stop reading this drivel before I start head butting walls.

Who did Young Redknapp site as having better credentials. Not equal or similar. Who is specifically English, available and has better credentials?

Jamie is one of the worst pundits on tv...useless. What has being English got to do with it???

[Phil from the upper holte]

We didn't give Lambert enough time? Fuck me I've heard it all now

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I really feel like punching someone* repeatedly in the face reading that.




*Alan Brazil.

You've answered your own question Marlon - don't listen to, or read it. I know that shouldn't have to be the answer but I haven't listened to any punditry on football for god knows how long. It's full of not very bright people like Brazil, Redknapp (x2), Quinn, Cascarino et al. The list is endless. I have no doubt some of them are quite nice chaps out of 'work' in a kind of 'one of the lads, old school' way but they are severely lacking in the brain cells department and compound that by thinking of Aston Villa as an irrelevance somewhere in the middle of the country. To them, QPR or Crystal Palace are more important which says it all. It isn't entirely true of the media as a whole. To give him his due, Adrian Durham was talking up just what a big club we are and one of the most successful clubs ever on Talkshite last night!

I imagine that Jamie would have a very specific father manager in mind.

[Jimbo]

Anyone else sick of other teams' managers, who despite our recent setbacks still ply their trade in the same league as us, dishing out opinions and 'advice' on our situation?  Why on earth should we be taking advice off people who have a vested interest in our failure?

Whoops, hang on, I said I don't listen to any football punditry! Doh...well, it was on when I got in the car and put the radio on....before I turned over to R4!

Incidentally how many of your former clubs have English managers Jamie? That's right none of them.

I think he possibly struggles as English clearly isn't his first language.

He is literally an idiot.

I listened to that radio 4 once,
they never said  anything about the Villa, wankers

Wenger has his say:

I am convinced he is a frontrunner.

He has some problems to sort out with his assistants who work with Lyon. I believe it is a challenge he should take. Advice? You know our job is about personality and having the courage to live with your ideas.

Honestly I have a lot of respect for all the managers at Villa. I believe Sherwood was not given time. [Paul] Lambert was not given time - I don't know why.

Remi is an intelligent man who is now experienced. He will try to get his ideas across and hopefully he can work. They have five or six French players who have not all had an impact.

So, he appears to be telling Remi to take the job with or without the assistants - 'courage to live with your ideas' sounds like it implies 'courage to do it alone', to me.

As for the Managers' Union guff, I'm not exactly sure how Lambert wasn't given 'enough time', but he has to say all that - he can hardly say 'yeah, not surprised they sacked that fucking chancer, amirite?', can he?

This is coming from the man who is sitting on a pile of money so large he could actually have Arsenal competing financially with the very biggest clubs in Europe, so you'd never expect him to say anything other than "more time please".  He's one eyed but not a total hypocrite.

Adrian Durham is the worst, because he hides the fact that he actually has some knowledgeable things to say about football behind the moronic veneer of his radio programme in the evening.

The Durham that you might here on TalkShite on a Saturday sounds like a completely different person.

See similar comments from Ronald Koeman the other night though I'm sure he was probably genuinely sorry not to pit his wits against a Tim Sherwood side again.
