We should give Anne Robinson a grand just to tell her catchphrase to whomever is the most deserving

Not sure how asking people to write to Points of View is going to help.......

For me Moyes is yesterday's man, tainted by failure.  I can't see the appeal at all, I'd prefer Pearson.

Whereas Pearson has nothing but an unbroken string of successes and glories.

His last 2 seasons were extremely impressive, Moyes's were poor. His career is on a downward spiral.
Compared to LVG Moyes was a huge success especially when you compare the budget spent and also the fact of who's boots he was filling. He did ok there all things considered.


oh we are a broad church, some classics here..

obtw

Shouldn't this threads name be changed to manager for the month, just to keep in step with the revolving door that is Villa Park.

Is it worth resetting the poll now Remi has gone?

I think a trio of Moyes and the 2 Neville's could work very well

Pat Murphy is a grade A Villa hating twat.

Thank fuck we wont get any attention from him in the Championship and might get assigned a competent reporter from the BBC.
I do not think he hates Villa on the contrary he feels as frustrated as we do on lack of success. He calls it as he sees it. I rate his opinion.

That is my take on him too. He generally says what many of us on here say, only more eloquently.

Interestingly, Henry Winter was calling us a world class club / one of the great clubs in world football on 5Live earlier tonight.

No Bielsa on the poll? Granted the Championship maybe beneath him but still. He is available and some of us have him as our first choice...

For me, there is only David Moyes. Look at alternatives if he turns us down.

I may have been a bit sniffy about him in the past, but given the circumstances, appointing Moyes would be like Gillian Anderson coming in to our house naked and carrying a tray with a pint, a steak and a winning lottery ticket.

Pearson! Oh Pearson, with your assistant manager and coach still at Leicester.

I would be worried if we appointed Monk - possible car crash appointment.

Voted Warburton, has done a good job north of the border, and was excellent at Brentford.

Would not be unhappy with Moyes.

Bruce has a good record of promotion.

Coleman might be ok, has done very well with Wales and was not bad at Fulham.

Rowett would be worth a go, has worked miracles at Blues.

Hughton would also be a good appointment.

We are a big club but are punching well below our weight. We should be a top 10 club every season. We have missed our chance to be a massive club. If the Lerner money had come in 10 years earlier, we might have had a chance.

I'd love Bielsa but I think the changes he would demand are too revolutionary for our players and even the new board (hunch based on the fact the seemingly want a British manager).

Fuck it, lets do it.  He'd ideally bring a 'pochetinno' assistant with him to continue his work when he retires as he is getting on a bit.

Why not give Neville the last few games of the season and give him a contract if we see improvement?
