A well run PL Aston Villa is as attractive a job as there is in football.

Ahhh, those were the days!

You have to be quite old to recall them SH!

Days, as opposed to weeks, months or years in my lifetime.

I still have hopes we can attract a genuinely great manager. Bielsa remains my top choice, whether he would come of course is a differet matter.

I like Bielsa as well.
I also like Guardiola.

I want to believe our Board are looking at every possibility!

It'll be the law of diminishing returns... first Pearson... then Bruce... then Warnock... then Davies etc etc...

Unfortunately. Yes I can see that. but I do think Bruce is the best manager out of that bunch.

There might have been a time when good managers would walk over broken glass to take the Villa job.

Those days are gone, and Moyes or even Pearson will probably hedge their bets and wait to see what else is out there.

There could be three big clubs looking for new managers in the Championship, and far more stable sides than ours in the PL looking for   a new guy.

I can't see too many Premier League jobs being available in the close season.  I think Pulus could well go from Albion, there is the Swansea job and Martinez might leave Everton.  Are any of the candidates being touted for our job likely to get those?

I was surprised to see Martinez Out banners on the telly today at Everton's game.

I hadn't realised they were doing badly.

He's certainly not meeting expectations. 14th in the league and seemingly going backwards every season despite having some of the best attacking talent in the league.

Niasse is an odd one as well. Cost £13m in January and has played 33 minutes of football for them since.

If he goes would Moyes go back there?

I expect Moyes would be happy with that, but I think they'd be looking for something a bit more fancy with their new investment.
