Manager for next season

[Concrete John]

I just can't see that Moyes will come to a Championship club not for one second, he will feel his stock is much higher, will be delighted to be proved wrong though.

Reports in Spain, where Moyes was yesterday, claim "Moyes will take time before choosing his next destination, as he can't afford to fail three times in such a short span of time."

I think there's zero chance of it being Moyes. He's turned us down before when we were in much better shape than now and as you say he cannot afford another failure. It just won't happen.

He turned us down at the time that his career trajectory was towards Manchester Utd. That's not really the case any more.

That is how I see it. Just like us, Moyes has a reputation to rebuild. Getting us promoted and then operating at the right end of the table would be seen entirely as his achievement as our current stock is so low.

Moyes will only come if he gets the freedom and money to do what he wants.  With what we've seen over the past few years I think that'll be a bigger stumbling block than being in the Championship.

If not Villa, where do you suspect Moyes will go?

bitters. norwich, palace

[john e]

it's a two horse race isn't it, Moyes or Pearson

I'm sure one of them will be our manager next season,
 of the two I hope it's Moyes

Possibly but I suspect that any club that can afford that sort of money and freedom for their manager will maybe set their sights higher than one with his recent record.

Celtic. Rangers were all but promoted yesterday so there should be some competition up there again.

[Taylor]

Forgive my ignorance, but has Pearson ever said that he wants to come?

[Stirchley Villain]

Moyes would have nowhere to go at Norwich, Palace or Palace. At Villa ha would have a chance to build something... if from a temporarily diminished position.

I could see that.  Champions League games to feel important and accumulating trophies the rest of the time.

However I think we're a better option than Bitters/Palace as they're established PL clubs now but unlikely to go any higher, Norwich will forever be at risk of relegation. It would be very hard for him to improve them.

Crucially I think we would pay more than any of the other clubs mentioned.

Moyes interviewed by the ever-excellent Garry Richardson on Sportsweek.  No direct questions about his next managerial destination, but rather a general discussion about the short-term nature of appointments these days and how some managers/coaches are in a rush to get back on the merry-go-round.  What he did say was that at Everton he was give the chance to fulfil his vision by an understanding owner, that he would choose his next job and that he'd already turned down some approaches.

I am with you concrete....unless there has been a serious turn around in the way Lerner is going to operate why will things change? A few board appointments and all of a sudden everything is going to be alright - it isn't there money after all.

Whilst my first choice would be Moyes, I think they will go for Steve Bruce. A gnarled old geezer who has something of a track record for getting out of the Championship. He will bring his own coaching team with him, which is also something that we really need. He has done ok in the Premiership, albeit it with inferior clubs.  Monk has no real pedigree, neither does Pearson as far as the Premiership is concerned, given that the club are likely to want promotion and then some stability. Same as Dyche I guess, despite their potential.  Grayson has potential too but I think will be ruled out as we need someone to hit the ground running without, dare I say it, risk.

The longer we do not appoint a new manager, the more I reckon it will be Southgate.

[peter w]

Moyes will be interested if for no other reason than he runs the risk of being out of the game for too long for clubs to want to go to him.

bitters. norwich, palace

Even a Championship Villa would be a more appealing destination than those 3.

Curbishley had prem experience and promotion experience. Might be an outside bet
