Manager for next season

[Bottom Right 89]

I recall the Norwich fans voted for their third choice goalkeeper as Player of the Year, so shit and disgusted they were with their team.

So Watkins, Siegrist or Steer it is then for Villa's player of the season

Should be no awards for anyone in the current first squad this season, if there has to be a winner for player of the season it should go to the Villa Away fans.

True but if I had to pick a player it must be Andre Green.

my problem with Pearson is that despite him being available and having a good record generally, using this site as a cross section, 10% of the fans actually want him. There is so much negativity around the club at the moment, we dont need it causing a hangover into next season. We desperately need someone in to lift the gloom and for me Moyes would be that man. If we cant get someone like that, we at least need someone whom the fans will cut some serious slack to, just as they did with Remi Garde. Hughton seems an obvious choice

My two favourites are

Dyche + Houghton

Both decent young managers who have some premiership experience

Hughton is two years older than Steve Bruce. He's 57.

I think if it was an out of work manager it would have been announced by now

Why would Dyche want to leave a promoted Burnley to stay in the Championship with Villa ?

Aston Villa in the championship is a million times bigger than Burnley in the Prem.
And Bournemouth, Watford, Norwich etc etc

At some point, Dyche is going to have to step up to a bigger club in order to increase his stock.  After two promotions with them, he must be thinking about what he does next...yes it means staying in the Championship but the score for growth must be ten times bigger here than Turf Moor.

Dyche... I reckon. He has a funny voice.

Would be my choice too but, as stated by a few others, can't see him leaving Burnley - and probably a massive bonus for getting them into the PL - to come back down to the Championship with a club that has been in freefall for 5 seasons on the trot.
Same with Hughton.


Bugger!

I'm hoping he sees it this way too, Des/andyh!

Outside chance of Eddie Howe?

I agree with rob_bridge on another thread, Steve Bruce is a spent force.

Yes true, but he might just see keeping them up this time as the next stage of his develpoment and improving his saleablilty

I'm not dismissing the impact of the assistants at Leicester but it appears they are almost disproportionately credited for the success of the pre-PL, and recovery of the team in Pearson's time there. I never hear them criticized for their part in the early season struggles, yet Pearson is. Also are they the reason that Leicester will win the league or is it Ranieri? My point here is success and failure is a team effort. Players and coaches, so Pearson should be credited equally along with his staff for any success at Leicester including player recruitment, as much as he should accept his part in the earlier struggles.

[Des Little]

Outside chance of Eddie Howe?

None at all.  If anything, I think he may well go to Everton if/when Martinez goes.  Didn't Howe come out as an Everton fan recently too?

I may be wrong but I am getting the feeling that the manager they want has unfinished business at the club they are at or they want a break until the end of the season.

Yes, if correct then it worth waiting.
