Manager for next season

[richardhubbard]

Assuming  Garde moves on , who should we have to try and do a Graham Taylor -

Personally I go for Nigel Pearson

[exiled on the wirral!]

He probably won't come but Eddie Howe for me.

Nigel Pearson doesn't belong on the same planet as Graham Taylor, let alone in the same post.

Of the names mentioned so far on various threads, Warburton would be the best choice for me. A good knowledge of the game in general, lots of involvement in youth football but not your stereotypical old school English manager.

Moyes for me but it's been rumoured Newcastle are lining him up.

Comment re Taylor meany bouncing back first time as we did in 1987. I cannot see Warburton leaving Rangers.

If Moyes will come then great, I don't think he wanted the job this season though so would he want to manage in the championship at a club that is in total disarray, I doubt it.

We will still be a big draw to someone though and a real challenge to get us back up and then stay up, will the new manager get backed properly though, again I doubt it.

Whoever comes in (I think Garde will be gone as soon as we are mathematically down) has got a massive massive task on there hands to clear out the dead wood and add some new talent, they have also got to change the whole mentality of the club as we are losers in every sense of the word and have been for a few seasons now.

Grayson.

[Dave P]

In no given order and thinking realistically...

Simon Grayson
Glenn Hoddle
Dean Smith
Martin Laursen

[Richard]

We need a poll

Rodgers
Moyes
Dyche
Howe
Warburton
Pulis
Pearson
Grayson

I'd like Moyes personally

Jesus Christ or Moses will sort us out

Howe for me, too. Also a gentleman. My dad and I were lucky to meet him in a restaurant in Bournemouth last summer. He took the time to leave the friend he was with to have a 20 minute chat with us about Bournemouth FC and the first game for them, incidentally against us. He thought it was about time we started acting like the big club we are. I'd love him as manager. I think one day he'll be England boss.

Can't see him.coming to us,though.

I'm afraid that until the club is sold and new owners in place, the identity of the manager is irrelevant. No manager worth his salt would come here, and under these circumstances would they be able to operate as they would like.

Sounds like a good chap.

At the moment I'm really at the stage where I don't mind whether Garde stays or not. What's more important is that the decision as to what is going to happen now. That's a decision from all parties to put their cards on the table. If Villa want to sack him he has to go now, if he wants to leave he has to go now. If the current plan on both sides is for him to stay then that decision should be made concrete now. We should have already started planning for next year, but we can't afford to waste anymore time with indecision.
