Manager for next season

[itbrvilla]

For gods sake lets get Moyes in, do whatever it takes to get him. Pearson would be us reaching the very bottom of a rotten barrel.

Hear hear!

I don't know how true it is that we have been in for him a couple of times before and he rejected us
but I reckon the jobs his if he wants it, and so if we don't get him its because he doesnt want to come

if he rejects us a third time, he can fuck right off forever

I heard a few people say he's turned us down twice. When did he turn us down the 2nd time?

last week

Thank fuck for that.

[Mister E]

Mick McCarthy you say?

This always cracks me up!

[PeterWithesShin]

It truly is the gif that keeps on giving.

[mr underhill]

as long as it stays that way, I don't give a gif

[PaulWinch again]

James Nursey trying to link Mick McCarthy to the job. Oh do feck off.

Its hardly an outrageous link though is it , we used to get linkedwith him in the Premiership

As long as it's not serious.

Indeed.

From reports, I think he turned us down earlier in the season when we were looking to replace Sherwood.  I seem to remember reading an article saying it was because he wanted more of a say in transfers.

It was reported that he made it clear he wouldn't leave his job mid season - and was annoyed when he was sacked weeks later.

(Whether this had anything to do with us, I don't have a clue)

I like Mick McCarthy. Always seems like a decent bloke. That said, as a manager he's not up to the task of managing a club this size and he's outdated.

If we don't push hard for Moyes we're crazy. The other names don't inspire any sort of confidence.

It's got to be Moyes.

It would send a signal to the 2nd Division too that we are not just a husk of a big club, but we are serious about matters again.

[Chris Jameson]

Heard a great story about McCarthy, prior to the World Cup in South Africa the BBC sent all the commentators and pundits on some kind of safety awareness/health and safety course to ensure they were aware of the dangers they may face. Only one person didn't attend and had to sign a waiver acknowledging they were aware of the risks and their reason for not attending the course. He wrote 'I'm from Barnsley'. I really like him but wouldn't want him managing Villa.

My apologies if this has been spoted before but! Anyone for Yorkie?!

Yorke to apply for Aston Villa job; reveals Ferguson backing

Dwight Yorke has revealed he has applied for the vacant managerial position at Aston Villa – and says he has the backing of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Villa are searching for their next manager after sacking Frenchman Remi Garde last week, with Eric Black currently acting as interim boss until the end of the season.

Former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson the current favourite to take over at Villa Park as the club look to appoint a candidate with Championship experience, given the Villans are 15 points from safety with six matches remaining.

“They have tried experience, they have tried unknown managers, and they haven’t got it right,” Yorke told talkSPORT.

“I have the feeling they may go for experience. I do believe experience counts for a lot of things but sometimes you need someone with the know-how of a football club and someone who can bring a spark back to the club.

“And what people fail to realise is that I have won the Championship. The only time I have played outside the Premier League I won it with Sunderland so I have got a great understanding of what the Championship is as a player.

“So, not only am I familiar with the players, and the whole culture and history of Aston Villa Football Club, but I am familiar with the Championship.

Yorke missed out on the job to Garde following the sacking of Tim Sherwood in October, when the 44-year-old also talked up his credentials.

“I will apply [for the job] and I am doing that as we speak. I hope they will at least give me an interview,” he added.

“I have gained a wealth of experience; I have played under great managers and I spoke to Sir Alex Ferguson about this job and he is endorsing me.  He believes I can do it

“I believe I can do it and it is about giving me the opportunity of at least having an interview.”

I'd like to think we're already talking to Moyes. If Newcastle are relegated with us I'd expect them to also be interested in him as a replacement for Benitez. One positive from our pathetic performance this season is that we'll be relegated much sooner than Newcastle so we'll have a head start in appointing a manager.

That and him being in a job at the time, surely?

I thought I just heard on WM that it will be Pearson as soon as relegation is confirmed but I might be wrong.

It's a bit of a worry that Moyes is being built up into the only option for us.
