Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Percy McCarthy]

A shame Moyes has turned us down, probably not for the first time!

It's looking like it's going to be Garde, which of course is a huge gamble, understandable nonetheless. Basically, if the French speaking contingent play well, we'll probably stay up, and if they don't, we probably won't.

I think it's going to be tough for the non-speaking French players and it all might become a bit "cliquey". Micah Richards has already said that "they" should adapt and learn English etc...

Anyway, the new manager is going to need a huge amount of diplomatic skills and is going to have to be a great "people" person as well.


We actually really have no idea how good are French players are. Most of us knew nothing of them before they arrived and most haven't done particularly well since they arrived. However, does the fact that Garde is keen, suggest they are actually quite good. Surely, he wouldn't want to come if he didn't rate some of them?

Glad Moyes not coming to B6. We need someone with more charisma and panache than another Scotsman.

Not forgetting that Moyes was known as "Dithering Dave" up here on Merseyside

I've got a mate called Dithering Dave. He's much worse than Moyes though, he's on his nineteenth nervous breakdown and is pushed around something rotten by his grown-up son.

He's a nose so hopefully won't be reading this.

I have an acquaintance called 'Mad Derek'. Though he doesn't know he's called that, obviously. So even if he is reading this, he'll think I mean somebody else

I've got a mate who everyone calls Mad John to his face. He was left on his 'parents' door-step as a baby.

My ex-missus is widely known as Mad Ange. No-one has the nerve to say it to her though, not even the SAS.

[Arsey]

Where has 'Moyes turned us down' come from??? Sounds to me Garde has always been number one choice even before Tum was sacked.

[mr underhill]

he's been asked in post match interviews and gave the answer you would expect, i.e. no.

[Pat McMahon]

When I was playing football in London 30 years ago our goalkeepers always had the prefix "Mad". Mad Huw was genuinely yampy but the other just thought it helped scare forwards if everybody referred to him as Mad Frank on the pitch.

That's my take as well. We moved very quickly and decisively to Garde. It was only the media that linked us with everyone else including Moyes. Much like the summer transfers. We were linked to Townsend, we got Traore, or Livermore and quietly went about our business and got Veretout and so on.

Has he? That's news to me and rest of the world. Where do you get your info from?

What's Scottish got to do with it?
What about the turgid shit served up by Pulis or Allardyce?
What about the charisma of Monotone McLaren, the panache of Hughes, or the supreme combination of every negative attribute you can think off (including relegation) Steve Bruce?

What about the greatest and most influential men in our club's history?

Hear hear.

I knew a fella everybody referred to as Depressing Pete. We'd be having a rip, roaring laugh in the pub and Depressing Pete would walk in and everybody would go silent and stare into their pints hoping he wouldn't come over and join us. A one man factory of sadness.

Quite. Too focused on refuting the negative that by definition he has to dour by virtue of being Scottish.

Doesn't happen to come from Solihull by any chance?

I was lagging drunk and having afters in the Prince Hal once when a bloke I vaguely knew asked me how I got the nick-name Percy. I told him (it was after a character in a school play I wrote) and asked him how he got his. Suicidal Phil was most upset. Not for the first time obviously.

Apparently his nickname in his playing days at Arsenal was 'The Diplomat'.

i thought it was semi hard

[brian green]

One of the long time porters at the fruit and veg market is called Fat Bob by everybody. Even his wife. He is immensely proud of his nickname because he used to be massively obese but fought the affliction and is now a tad fatter than Chris Froome and runs marathons for a hobby. Newcomers to the market get sniffy about our sizeist name for Bob but he would be terribly hurt if we stopped.

I'd love it....love it...if that happened.

I should be able to get a fortune for my seat on Seatwave if Jose was manager
