Manager for next season

[Stirchley Villain]

I mean you might be slightly disengaged...

go on, this is getting interesting.

No it's not. It's boring. You'd better get used to the likes of Warnock being touted as Villa manager because that's what's going to happen. If we're lucky it might be Bruce or Pearson. Or McCarthy. Get used to it. Unless you can shoehorn Rowett into the equation. But guess what, he's not coming.

I'd bet my bollocks that Colin would never rock up here as manager.

[mr underhill]

you mean Colin Powell? He's be good I think, in a macho sort of way.

[Dave P]

With all the thought of a 'Championship Manager' being needed next season, the thought of Colin W*anker had crossed my mind. Had to have a long shower afterwards !!

What a parting gift from Lerner that would be!

[dl9]

Get ready for a whole host of shite Z listers to be associated with us

I'm sure I'll feel differently about matters come August (as I've not been to Rotherham yet)
But for now watching the likes of Bournemouth, Sunderland and Norwich making a fist of it whilst we sit there languishing like a comatosed patient paralysed from the neck down is an indictment of just how shit we are.

Mike Bassett, f*ck it, let's put him in the mix.

I'd rather just keep Garde.

Just a question, but what has Garde done so far to show that he is going to get us back up? I like him, but I don't think he is the right man.

I think we have a terrible squad that has been getting worse for years. We've also hired several new managers in the last few years and have declined with each appointment. Garde is the first to actually call out some of our parasitic players. I don't know if he's the right man, but I don't know if he's the wrong man either. I don't think anyone could do anything with this squad.

yes he does call them out but then still picks them and we get tonked because they arent trying!

pure genius

Yes, God forbid a manager offer players an opportunity to prove him wrong after offering some constructive criticism.

just dont do it openly, its not that difficult a concept to  grasp

we are getting worse not better under him

did anyone want mcneill to stay?

Is there some fucking law nobody has told me about which means you can't?

Because otherwise it's one of those bollocks football cliches that people blindly follow.

Telling us everything is rosy whilst serving up utter drivel worked well for the last boss, didn't it?

anyone can see that everything is shit you only have to look at the table

garde calling players out with no backup plan was naive in the extreme and backfired

i watched a villa side stop trying against liverpool which cannot be defended.

he has made a shit team shitter, if you want to give reasons to the contary be my guest

2 wins in half a season

no further questions your honour

You see, you've just repeated the same tired cliche without explaining a thing.

Garde 'called out' as you say, those fuckwits after we got stuffed by Liverpool, which was the very least they deserved for their pathetic display and lack of effort.

I'm absolutely not having this bollocks about criticising them, it's claptrap. Fergie may have been against it but his players worked for him, they'd earned it.

not explaining a thing?

ive explained how garde publically called out the players then picked them all again the next week which acheived the square route of fuck all

ive explained that he cannot motivate them, has zero motivatial skills, is tactically inept, has won 2 games in half a season and is on paper a worse mananger than billy mcneill

and im the one who is deluded?

how many more facts do you want to ignore?

garde is not the man to take us forward in any shape or form

Surely we are all on board with this thinking?

[Lucky Eddie]

In no given order and thinking realistically...

Simon Grayson
Glenn Hoddle
Dean Smith
Martin Laursen

Karanka. If we can't get someone like that in and go after Steve Bruce or one of the other usual suspects, then we may as well pack it in.

Is this an exercise in quoting the worst possible candidates ever?

Statistically Les Reed's ill fated reign at Charlton surely qualifies him as our next manager?

Other candidates include:

1. Eddie the Eagle?
2. The bloke whop does the London marathon each year in then old fashioned full divers equipment?
3. That African guy who got a 'by' to swim in the Olympics?
4. My horse each year (that I back) in the Grand National?
5. Davos leader of the Daleks?
6. Steve MCLaren?

[Clampy]

We could do worse than Neil Warnock. Upsetter of apple carts..

An horrible idea. We'd definately spend 5 years in the championship with him.

[Chico Hamilton III]

What about Chris Hughton? Decent record for promoting teams and a member of the Socialis Workers Party.

Agree. He struggled at Norwich a bit but he seems to have done well everywhere else he's been.

Actually was the Workers' Revolutionary Party. He wrote a column for their daily newspaper Newsline for a while, although says he was never a member. As a manager we could probably do worse.

Conspiracy theory alert:

Does anyone think the appointment of Brian Little to the board of directors is all geared up for him to replace Remi Garde as caretaker manager when relegation finally happens? He who walks on water then appoints John Gregory as assistant and we piss the Championship without losing a game?

Nurse!
