Manager for next season

Rumour via The Snu doing the rounds that Villa are willing to pay £2 million for Bruce.

I don't like, or want, Warnock, but he is doing a great job at Rotherham. In the bottom 3 when he took over in Feb, now 9 points clear and on an 8 game unbeaten run, W6 D2, the most inform side in the division.

Moyes is yesterday's forgotten dour SM.   Cannot understand the clammer to sign him. 

My thoughts exactly TonyD.

Way past his sell-by date.

Someone younger, with something to prove, and with the brain/staff to do it.

The next Eddie Howe would be nice. Bournemouth looked sharp and played with flair and discipline, two things missing from VP for a good while.

That's the one W_V!

Now where the bugger is he?

He is.

I was just reading the match report from their game yesterday and came across this quote from him

"It just goes to show what you can do with a good group who want to listen."

True that. Same as Howe with Bournemouth. Not exactly household names or the best players in the league, but good attitudes and work for each other. The absolute opposite of our shower.

We wouldn't get the next bloody Eddie Howe though would we? We get the next Graham Turner.

I believe (well I have to) Eddie Howe has submitted his application.

He said: “I feel for Aston villa and I’m sure they will be back.

“No one likes to see anyone struggle and I think their season has been tough for their supporters to take.

“I don’t think you can blame the supporters for their reaction but I’m sure there will be better times ahead in the future.”

I grant you that Bournemouth seem a thoroughly better proposition than we do right now but ultimately we're a huge club and they'll drop down again in the near future. If not next may, then within a couple of years. I wonder if we can wave a few quid in front of him and tempt him to take the drop. Probably not, but it could be worth a try. That said there may be other premier league jobs that may get waved in front of him in the summer.

I think where we are at the moment is needing a manager who is too good for the Championship. Eddie Howe clearly was, and I think Dyche with enough resources could be too. Pearson, even without the bluster, I'm unconvinced about, and Bruce clearly can't cut the top division for any length of time. Ditto Hughton.

Unfortunately, if we make the wrong choice now, we may be after a boss who's too good for League One in a couple of years.

Bruce is a relegation specialist and it would be a terrible appointment if it came to be.

[Chris Jameson]

Trevor Sinclair, Mark Lawrenson and whoever the journo was on 5 Live were all in agreement that Sherwood is a good manager and Villa would have been fine if they'd stuck with him.

It's got to be Sherwood in that case.

Hard to say Hughton can't cut it, Newcastle binned him while they were 11th after romping division 2, he finished 11th with Norwich and was binned the following season when they were 5 points clear of the drop zone. They ended up relegated. I doubt he'll ever be a great manager but he has held his own in the top flight the few times he's been in it.

I'd take Warnock. I think he'd stabilise us

He offers far more than Pearson, even when you disregard Pearson's horrible personality.

I agree that rowett would be a good shout. Don't want bruce
