Manager for next season

[Villa in Denmark]

He did alright at Spurs but hasn't he been a bit rubbish since?

I thought that until I looked at his Wiki page.
Did OK in his one season at Hamburg
Was under par at Ajax, but still put together a 14 wins on the bounce run to the end of his first season to finish one point behind McLaren's FC Twente (GD +86!)
Resigned a third of the way the following season following a poor run.
Did OK at Fulham by their standards in his first 2 seasons, before it all going tits up in year 3.

I'd say the problem seems to be he can't maintain momentum,which would take us back to the debate about do we want someone who can get us up and build on it or do we just want someone who can get us up and worry about the rest afterwards?

Martin Jol has been mentioned by one of the bookmakers. Appart from Moyes, when I look at list in the bookies of potential managers, it breaks my heart that Nigel Pearson could manage our great club. I wouldn't mind Jol though.

Not sure what part of England he is from!!

I would be pushing hard for Moyes right now. Don't hang around till summer. I hope we get him in place because come May, Newcastle will be looking for a new Manager. Sunderland too perhaps. I can understand if Moyes wouldn't want to step straight in. Sign him up now to start in June. We can't Villa this appointment. We're gonna villa it though aren't we?

This is how I feel.  Even if we don't make an annoncement until the summer, it would be best to come to some agreement with whoever the next manager is before then.  Its important that he has that extra time to start planning for what is looking a tough season next time.

That's not bad at all, I have always liked him from his time over here. I'm not convinced he's for us right now though.

If course we will. Moyes would be an eminently sensible appointment.

That's not really our style.

No sooner than Steve Carver decided to put his name into the hat, I did get this horrible shudder down my spine. That said we could do worse than Carver. He was the best manager in the premier league last season.

Is he any relation to John?

As long as we don't get his brother John.  He was a total cock socket and more than a bit shit.

he was the football equivalent of having the wild shites after a few bad beers

Who?
John Carver, Steve Carver or Martin Jol?

The answer's right in front of us Mister E.

We're getting Steve Martin

He'll be perfect for us.

Used to be fantastic, his greatest achievements coming before the period for which he is best known these days, which was in the late 70's and early 80's, hasn't consistently done anything of note since but there have been a couple of high points and his later output has been of, shall we say variable quality.

That would probably add Allardyce to our list of candidates.  Can see him staying there if they go down though. 

[mr underhill]

so if Sunderland go down, why would Fat S come to us?
