Manager for next season

[ozzjim]

Mark Warburton would be number 3 on the list. I think he is gettable too if offered the right structure.

I expect that having been sacked by Brentford and now managing in the Scottish second division he would crawl on his hands and knees to be Villa manager.

His sacking at Brentford was farcical though wasn't it? Maybe he is the next Nigel Adkins, but I like the way he comes across at times, and and seems to be able to get sides playing decent football.

It was both unexpected and a silly decision based on how they've done since.

But irrespective of that, he's "gettable" in the sense that even if the structure he were offered was to come and work for us for free and that he was answering to our new Director Of Football Robbie Savage then he would still be here in a flash.

Do you not think there is a fair bit of prestige in being the person to take Rangers back to the top of the SPL?

Twitter awash with villa fans wanting us to grovel to Sherwood and get him back in notice.

Give your heads a wobble.

If there is a few quid to spend and a structure in place to work with, I would like the board to go and try and entice Rodgers. He built a great side at Swansea but it would be a tough sell.

Second choice would be Moyes. He needs a challenge that will rebuild his reputation and we would provide that but again the club would have to be very good at selling it too him. The truth is both may be out of our league, but neither will get opportunities to become respected like they would here anywhere else.

After that Bruce looks a safe pair of hands to get you up, and would certainly tighten up the defence. His trouble is always finding a goalscorer.

Similar reasons to Ozz, but Monk third choice.

If Remi was to leave, I wouldn't mind Shean Dyche to be given the Villa job. I would also like Moyes but I'm sure he will get a job in the top league.

Both of them would be great candidates given our current plight - which sadly, ensures neither would touch us with a barge pole.

Has Dwight Yorke popped his head back up this week claiming he has a special relationship with Sir Brian and would be the perfect fit? If he hasn't he will be shortly...

I see Stan's claiming Mr Blobby wants the gig

[Toronto Villa]

I wouldn't want to drop any new manager into the current situation. Whoever it is we should have him lined up soon after the last day of the season.

If I was Bruce or Hull I'd be massively fucked off that Stan was opening his gob about this. Hull in a great position to come straight back up and this won't help their cause or Bruce's position there. And it might well be true but what if our board doesn't want him. Stan needs to keep his fucking mouth shut sometimes. Or a lot of the time.

If Moyes wanted to come to us and get stuck into the Villa project then I would take him in a heartbeat.  This is a long term project and we are starting from scratch so we need someone that knows what they are doing,  someone that can build something in the Championship and will have the experience of Premiership management.  We don't need another gamble, they don't work out for us. A safe pair of hands that will be given time and authority to build a team to take us up and then give us a platform to stay there. Moyes or maybe Rodgers.

What is the project exactly?  I have been wondering over the past few days just what Villa currently ( and since 2010 ) stand for.  It's not trophies, it's not glory, it is merely all about the Lerner family getting their money back.  It's a rotten, hollow, culture to attempt to build a club around.

[West Derby Villan]

Moyes for me. He has history, although some time ago, with Preston in the championship and he has the reputation of a quality manager which will bring the existing players on board and any potential new recruits to the club. Anyway I can dream, can't I?

[Monty]

Moyes, Rodgers, wouldn't mind Monk, someone like that.

[in exile]

I'll give you two people who would be desperate enough to work for Lerner - McClaren & Pearson.
I wouldn't want either but you have to be realistic and rule anyone else out because of Lerner

[Toronto Villa]

The project is to no longer be in a position of peril year after year. There have been clubs way worse off that us in recent years that now have a structure in place to ensure sustainable growth and stability. Clubs like West Ham, Southampton and Leicester to name three. We have gone from one I'll thought out plan to the next with absolutely no strategic thinking. We have to stop that if the situation is to ever improve.
