Manager for next season

[Chris Jameson]

British, knowledge of the Championship and shows passion, Ray Winstone.

It will be Nigel Pearson, it's been inevitable for a while. I hate Pearson. Not as much as Richards and Agbonlahor though.

[Chris Jameson]

Or Pulis after he leaves Albion in the summer.

[pauliewalnuts]

Given a choice between Pearson or Allardyce, I think I'd opt to jump off a bridge

[Des Little]

I've convinced myself that Steve Bruce is the man for the job.

Seriously.

Still lives in Lapworth.

[Yossarian]

Gary Rowett for me. Villa through and through. And what he's done with that shower is nothing short of a miracle.

[Stirchley Villain]

I've convinced myself that Steve Bruce is the man for the job.

Seriously.

Still lives in Lapworth.

We could do much much worse.

Gary Rowett

[Jimbo]

I honestly think Rowett is too bright to want to work under the current owner. Whoever we get, it'll likely be another knucklehead in the Lambert / Sherwood mould.

[VinnieChase84]

Second the call for Rowett although I think he will be Derby boss in the summer

[LeeB]

I honestly think Rowett is too bright to want to work under the current owner. Whoever we get, it'll likely be another knucklehead in the Lambert / Sherwood mould.

To be honest I'd be vary wary of the 'young up and coming' route.

We are a big club in a big mess. The task engulfed the last one that tried it.

He went to them when their owner was in jail for tax evasion.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Pearson. We all know it's going to be him.

I fear you may well be right. Lerner's last appointment as owner could well be a racist thug. What a parting present that would be.

I know he's a thug, but racist? What have I missed?

I may be wrong as two of you have queried it, but I thought one of the reasons for him going was that he backed the players (including his son) that Leicester sacked? Wasn't that relating to a racist and sexual incident?

[VinnieChase84]

Other than Rowett I would look at;
Mick McCarthy
Nigel Pearson
Chris Hughton
Steve Bruce

We are a Championship club. He has a proven track record in the Championship on working with sweet FA. I don't see him as "young up and coming".

He has had 18 months in the Championship , it's a bit of a stretch to call it a proven track record.
