Manager for next season

[HolmesyVilla]

I think we have to keep 'en Garde'. Let alone the spine of the team is non existent so is whoever is meant to be running our club. It would unfair for Garde' to take the flak for that.
 We know the shower he has inherited and it took him 10 games or so but we saw his ideas working as we went on that good run, albeit after giving the players a good load of grief to shit em up at Wycombe..now the players dropped back to their pitiful selves, well I say players I mean the ones who are meant to be the core of our team - Richards,bacuna,Gabby,guzan,lescott, that's are highest earners so they should be showing the way, should. Where's their fight.
 So we should fock them 5 off for starters cos that core is one maggot infested rotten to the marrow core of an apple.
The internal side of the Villa seems to be having a proper going over which is great, that should leave en Garde' free to sort his own team out staring in June. Would have been better in the prem.
  So fore me I would keep Garde' as I think he has vision.

It's because McLeish was shit. The fact that he was knuckledragger shit just compounded matters. If Pep Guardiola was a knuckledragger, does any bright spark out there think we'd turn our noses up at him?

Yep, the fact he got a team relegated was the issue for me. We rewarded failure and put him in charge at our club.

Exactly. For what it's worth I'd be happy with Rowett this summer. He probably wouldn't be my first choice but we could do a lot worse.

Our board aren't daft enough to go back there for a manager after what happened last time i.e. with the backlash of where he came from...are they?

I would not want Tiny Penis because of his style of football, not because he's the Bitters manager, two clubs I hate as much as Small Heath, Albion and Man U but I and the rest of us welcomed Big Ron with open arms.

That's the point thought, if we'd pinched a successful manager of theirs I think he'd have been welcomed with open arms and we'd have found the whole thing quite amusing. Granted McLeish had won a cup but he'd then preceded to feck it up by getting them relegated, again. That was the big problem.

I'd say no on Rowett because of where he'd be coming from. Whether or not he'd be a good manager isn't the point. If Eck had won a trophy with us he'd still be hated by a fair few, which isn't the right atmosphere to have in the fan base. It's sad, but its true.

Look at Leicester to see what can be achieved when fans, board, players etc all believe in what they are trying to achieve.

If Garde goes, and I'm not particularly fussed either way with him at the moment, we'd need an appointment we could all get behind.

Absolutely right. So we need a manager who can pull out a miracle from a nearly impossible position and stave off relegation. Basically you are saying its Nige for us then!

I don't think any appointment now will make any difference to relegation. Need to look towards next season.

no , but if they did , do you think rowett would accept the job if offered

[gpbarr]

We should keep Garde.

But as it seems inevitable he will unfairly take the flak for this train wreck of a club right now, a new manager it is - God help whomever they appoint.

And if it's Pearson, I'm done with the club. We are already an absolute laughing stock - his appointment would make our current embarrassment look positively glorious a year from now.

Why on earth wouldn't he?

I feel the same way re Garde but the worry is that you can't just get rid of players unless you pay off contracts. There was an article in the Guardian recently which set out to explain that teams who change managers and then the squad following relegation are statistically likely to not come straight back. It's the Hull/Burnley approach which works more often. Can't see us having a hope in hell with the current squad so it's keep Garde, change as much as you can and get ready for a long wait for promotion I reckon.

Because it's a massive high risk job - terrible track record, owner who wants out, boardroom in disarray, players who are clearly not up to it, no money. Plenty of reasons to say "No thanks"

[mr underhill]

so a bit like his current employers?

Bob Bradley not linked yet??

[Ron Manager]

As people are living far longer these days I reckon Ron Atkinson even at 76 would be very willing to have another go. Doug isn't there and we need a big big character to sort our multi millionaires out.  A choice that would be very popular with our support I am sure.
