Manager for next season

[saunders_heroes]

I wish we'd hurry and employ Moyes. It's gone awfully quiet. Just a glimmer of hope isn't much to ask for, please.

Why would we employ a manager who has been sacked by both Wolves and Sunderland during the last 10 years?

Don't want Mccarthy.  It has to be Pearson - he sort the slackers out.

Sort out the slackers? I'm hoping we'll have a complete new squad next season. God help us if any of these piss takers are still at the club bar one or two

Why would we employ McLeish, Houllier, Garde? Because the owner is an idiot. Hopefully we will get lucky this time.

I thought Houllier and Garde were good choices. I also thought Lambert was. Maybe I'm an idiot too. 😉

Hopefully this new board will have a better idea than me and put forward a good proposal to Randy.

That would mean finding buyers for the current bunch. That won't be easy.

I was guilty with Lambert too.

Surely Moyes and some much needed investment is a no brainer though. We need to go all out and get him. Like I say I've been wrong on the last few managers, statistically I must get one hunch right?

[Olof's Beard]

Everybody thought Lambert was a great choice, because he was at the time. The entire away end sang his name when we played at Norwich in McLeish's last game.

There are plenty of pointy sticks to beat the board with, but I always find it staggering how many fans use the appointment of Lambert as one of them. He was universally well regarded and the vast majority of the fan base was happy to see him come in.

Didn't want Houllier, had no real feeling either way on Garde, but guilty on Lambert.

If you go back far enough, I was guilty of wanting DOL, too!

[brian green]

For some reason or reasons Lambert changed out of all recognition when he came to us. What he was at Colchester and Norwich made him perfect for us.  What he became was a wreck of his former self.  Garde was a good choice, the problem was not him it was Aston Villa.

THIS I agree with, heres the but.

these premadoner posers passing as footballers at Aston Villa , really have fuck all sell on value exception being Ayew so aren't we stiuck with about x 10 nzogbias ??

[TelfordVilla]

At what point do you accept that the manager isnt the problem. They were all relatively successful before they took the Villa job. The problems are the owner and a squad of players who are either too lazy, too rich to care or simply incompetent. It doesnt matter who takes over the hot seat. Until the two problems are resolved (or at least one of them) any incoming manager will just be a temporary sticking plaster who will be discarded within 3 years to be replaced by another temporary fix.

[ozzjim]

Thought Houllier was a gamble that was worth it.  Lambert I really wanted.  Garde I thought was a decent idea based on what was said of his methods. 

On that basis Pearson I really don't want. So might be fine.  Although Garde and Houllier could not get their coaching team sorted straight away or their first choice so that might have something to do with it.

One of the worries I have with Moyes is he's a carbon copy of Lambert in terms of football philosophy and demeaner, 
I think he could end up being Lambert mk11 with a great fanfare when appointed by the majority of supporters all excited about the prospect only to end up with the same boring repetitive same players picked every week dying a death football
