I wonder if Brian will be recommending Simon Grayson.

I hope not. Not managed either a big club, or in the Premiership. Moyes every day of the week for me.

Hate to break it to you, but we won't be in the Premiership soon. Agreed Moyes 100%

got to agree

The club needs a lift, and the appointment of David Moyes sends out all the right messages.

I think he is just being optimistically presumptuous.

Indeed and I think it's absolutely essential that we send out the right signals this summer. We need to make it clear we're looking to come back stronger and rebuild, rather than just give up, or even worse, implode. Going after Moyes or Rodgers would say the right things and show ambition. Moyes in particular is a great match for Villa.

Re Grayson, he has managed at Leeds who are a big club. He got sacked there when they were in touching distance of the play offs in the championship. He has managed at 4 clubs and gained promotion at every one. He is obviously on the same wave length as Sir Brian. This suggestion isn't as ludicrous as it sounds.

Moyes is my first choice but I'd rather Grayson than Bruce.

I'd agree with that.

Ok, let's go for yet another punt. If it comes off, great. Personally I would prefer Moyes or Rodgers. Grayson may be one for the future but we have to get this one right.

Well beyond Moyes and Rodgers, they'll all be total punts. But yes, I do hope we get this one right. Moyes should fancy the gig, it's just a case of us paying him enough and ensuring the club is going to be run honestly and sensibly. Moyes won't want his pants pulled down.

Because Moyes and Rodgers are 100%, nailed-on, certain successes are they?

And they are the only two people in the world who are?

Of course not. But if we're talking reasonable bets who may actually come here, those two are top of the list.
As far as who I think will be in charge, it'll probably be Pearson.

Until the end of the season Will Hay. Assisted by Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. There's no point in half measures.

I suspect that many on here would not have heard of the great Will Hay, Ronshirt, or his wonderful sidekicks, Moore Marriott and Graham Moffatt. However I'd give them at least until Christmas 2016- they tend to be a tad disorganised initially but come good in the end ( ref 'Ask a Policeman').

It's a punt whomever they pick. Reasonableness is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I dread Moyes getting it, I think it'll be a short lived reign. But I don't know whether I'm right anymore than you do.
