Manager for next season

[johnc]

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

Seriously.

Still lives in Lapworth.

We could do much much worse.

We could and indeed we have

And quite probably will again within the next year or so

We could appoint Ancelotti in the summer. Without the right support or environment to work in he'd be every bit as ineffective as any one of previous (failed) managers.

What do I want from a Villa manager?

1. To be with us at least 5 years
2.  Get us out of the Championship
3.  Clear out the wasters in the squad
4.  Build a balanced squad in the summer
5.  Not be a manager that only sees throwing money at the squad as being the only way
6.  Continue to develop the squad year on year
7. Not reach his glass ceiling having got us back in the PL

My final point eliminates most of the usual suspects

I agree with most of the above, but I would say three years.  Get us out of the Championship first time and then have a look at where we are after two seasons back in the top flight.  I would also add bringing a steady flow of players through from the Academy to the points listed.

I'd opt for Paul Clement.

On the proviso that it's the coaching he continues with and we get a senior football figure above him or a DoF worthy of the name.

A good coach doesn't necessarily make a good manager, so let him focus on the things he's made his name doing and leave the admin and overall structure to someone else.

Cortese would be great,or -from leftfield, Raddy Antic.

I would go for Nigel Pearson or Sean Dyche they know how to get out of the championship and are good managers.

Interesting to see Walsall have sacked Sean O'Driscoll. There still 4th in their league, but on a bad run and it's clearly not working.

Yet we persevere with a loser who has an even worse record.

Change the record. It's getting a bit boring now.

Bloody hell you took your time. Have you visited the post match thread yet? You're usually straight in there.

Yes we know you don't like Remi, but your almost personal attacks on him are getting annoying now.

For a start:

Please sack this gutless and spineless cowardly manager.  He doesn't give a shit about the club.

Warburton. Done a great job at Brentford , building Rangers back too. Sure he would want to come back down south, even if it was to us.

Are you for real?  Some of your posts about have been shocking.

Here's another.

Think I'd prefer Terry Connor over this cowardly idiot.

And a couple of needless mentions of his nationality.

They classic 'blame everyone else" line then?

Sooner we see sense and boot Garde back down the channel tunnel the better.

How strange.  Pulis and Allardyce leading their teams to good results today yet most seem happy that the clueless Frenchman is taking us down.

And perhaps winning the prize for most nonsensical, this one.

1 win in 13 and no attempt to get back in the game after we went behind.  And still the mugs and sheep defend this utterly clueless manager.  Yes the board are a joke, but I hope to god he's gone by the morning.  I hate the guy.  Worst manager we've ever had.

Want any more?
