Manager for next season

[Scott Nielsen]

The myth that you need some special formula that is completely different to any other football anywhere in the world is the biggest pile of bullshit going.  We need a good manager and good palyers, if we get both we'll be propmoted, if we don't we won't be, the desperate calls for someone who's been there and done it in that league are just bizarre.

Indeed.

I always echo this opinion with the caveat that there is a database of info that needs to be exploited to be successful. I cant tell you whether Wolves are currently any good at defending high, lofted freekicks to the back post. Pep Guardiola wouldnt be able to either but I bet Mick McCarthy and Neil Warnock could.
Top managers can read the game and change things on the fly, but the knowledge that kicking Karl Henry enough will make him react and get himself sent off is invaluable. I think this is where the myth comes from....

I know we are the famous Aston Villa and I know it probably has not sunk in yet, it is only just dawning on me when listening to media discussing the new Premiership campaign that we are not in it  ,  but we are not going to get much better options than RDM or Pearson

I am glad Moyes is out of it as I saw in him same old same old - at least we will have something different

Could we not now have a poll to represent what we are up against

RDM
Pearson
Any other

It would have a better indication on how we all feel

Exactly this !"which I advocated a few days ago I'm glad they listen to you

I've often been ahead of the game like a Dr Joseph venglos

I agree with that but a decent manager would get teams scouted and find most of this out before we play.

Pearson gone to Derby!

Another mistake by the Villa!

One fcuk up after another!

Pearson gone to Derby!

Another mistake by the Villa!

One fcuk up after another!

No he hasn't!

No it isn't!

See above!

[Gary Penrice]

Yes he has!

Yes it is!

See above!

[Monty]

He has as well. I'm relieved - and I hope I'm still relieved at the end of the season.

[dave.woodhall]

Yes he has!

Yes it is!

See above!

Congratulations on scooping every news agency in the world. Perhaps you can now elaborate and tell us how this is both "another mistake" and part of "one fuck up after another".

And I bet Guardiola would find out everything there is to know about every Championship club before the season started.

Pearson as manager with Chris Powell as his assistant on 3 year deal for Derby.
Oh well, at least we will get to see exactly how that works out for them.
So if we are left with RDM, I'm going to stick my neck out and predict we finish above Derby.

with chris POwell as an assistant

[Gary Penrice]

Nah....not really!

If Di Matteo turns us down now...
