Manager for next season

[Gerrin]

Garde can't get a reaction out of this lot. It's obvious that there's a divided dressing room. Sherwood may as well have stayed - he could at least fire players up. Steve Bruce would be my choice.

I'd have Bruce as well. Totally different proposition to Mcleish, which was the worst managerial appointment in Villa's recent history, even worse than Garde.

Crikey did Tim spend all of our 50 mill on players he wanted then

He said he was happy. But either way - let's be clear - that's 50 mill more than Garde was given, a fact those who consistently compare the two conveniently forget

[LeeB]

He went along with it because he didn't really know what he was doing, and when it went tits up he tried to shift any blame.

Lots of people do it every day in the average workplace, but when you're paid in millions in a high profile position it's not a good look.

[LTA]

Given the results since, we may as well have stuck with Sherwood.  For his faults, he - unlike this idiot - at least wore his heart on his sleeve and gave the impression he wanted to do well with us.

No doubt he'll get another gig somewhere and I wish him well.

I'd wear my heart on my sleeve and want to do well for the club.
I'd be fucking rubbish but if they are the requirements.

I'd give Karl Robinson or Gareth Ainsworth a go. Decent young footballing managers. Phil Parkinson of Bradford David flitcroft bury and Michael Appleton Oxford could also be considered as British managers who would be honoured to take on villa. Yes Bruce makes sense in media but I think Robinson mk dons 5 years  or Ainsworth 3 years both loyal managers as is Parkinson can see what they can achieve. Ideally I prefer a villa connected manager but taking a young ambition progressive manager is a great choice.And a manager who isn't a coach number two from a big club looking for the experience ! I'd rather a lower league manager who has managed a club over a number 2 who stepping up. Actually I think Gark monk has to be the man just come to mind I'd like him uwe roslwe is another.

Breathe footy.  Excellent points, just space them for easier absorption.  Glad to see you back.

How en Garde can take any blame for some of the first team 'player' attitude toward Aston Villa  he's inherited is unfair to him, he knows what he's doing

Would he want to come though? he was given massive stick by our lot. (Potato head springs to mind)

[andyh]

It pains me to say it, but I'd take Bruce as well.
He knows what it takes to get out of the Championship.

Bloody hell, a little bit of sick just came up.

Can't you go and play somewhere else?
