Manager for next season

[avfcpg]

Gary Fucking Neville? He's having an absolute fucking shocker in Spain. I'd rather keep Garde. I'd rather keep Sherwood

 

Cos they've been great :-) Although I'm very much in the "does it really matter" category...
Brendan Rogers or Moyes if they could be pursuaded to buy into the new vision...again.

I've just looked at the odds. Pearson is favourite (oh shit), followed by Garde, Monk and Bruce. You can get 150/1 on Mourinho.

Mourinho must have a worse record at Villa Park than Garde?

In which case he's the ideal choice

Some of these names male my skin crawl.  How fucking depressing.

Because the media are guessing at names for a job that isn't vacant?

How often have the media had the slightest idea what's going on with player or management recruitment at B6 over the last 10 years until it was all but a done deal.

Exactly. Who linked us with Remi Garde before the bookies got wind of it?

Pearson was linked with the job when Garde got it. So was Curbs and Pulis and Strachan. The obvious names come up every single time because it is so easy to do.

This is a Mirror story after Sherwood got the boot as evidence

Sherwood was sacked immediately after Villa played Swansea (our 6th straight Premier League defeat, just like last weekend) and Newcastle played Sunderland.

Spooky

Agree with you and Fat Sam Dekuip but would go one step further.  I not only think top level players need good levels of intelligence, they need that intelligence to be channelled by having a stable character.  I always like players like Mellberg, Laurson, Friedel and Bouma who exude normality and professional commitment.  Those are the kind of players you can use as building blocks to build a team.

In the Lerner era we have had far too many players who are not only dim but lightweight as citizens.

Well put Brian

[mr underhill]

lightweight citizens or not, at least we have been spared any of the current crop being caught pissing in pint glasses at a major sporting event

Very true, but we did train one of them

Only because our players missed the pint glass

very good!

Both of them!  Collins and Carruthers were both with us as youngsters.
