Manager for next season

[mike]

Rowett's comments about us in the Mail today show that he's a decent chap.  And way too good for them.

My Bloonose brother-in-law reckons he is nailed on to go to Derby in the Summer.

I wish he'd come to us. I think he'd do really well.

totally agree

Didn't you know, we are all too small minded to accept an ex Birmingham manager. Apparently, that's the only reason we didn't want McLeish.

Maybe he's just checking out our opponents for next season!

My two favourites are
Dyche + Houghton

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

Same reasons Graham Taylor left Watford to join us, ambition and money.

[Matt C]

+ ego.

Of all the myths which the bogstandard pundits have about the Villa, that's probably the one that pisses me off the most.

If Hull go up surely Bruce will stay, if Hull don't go up,  Newcastle go down and Benitez goes then I would have thought he would be keen to manage Newcastle rather than us,

I'd see that as good news but I have not seen a single candidate that I would like to see appointed, no idea who it should be.

Strike one off the list ??

Which recent manager, in your opinion, has been a 'classless cock-socket'? For me, I'd have to go back to O'Leary to find a manager who fitted that description.

O'Neill for most of his time here was classy. The manner in which he left was unclassy, I'll grant you.

McLeish was out of his depth, but a perfect gent in a no-win situation.

Lambert was genuine, but like McLeish was way out of his depth.

Sherwood kept us up against the odds and got us to a cup final, before imploding. Another one out of his depth and struggling against player power. He was brash, but what was unclassy about him?

Garde inherited a cluster fuck and wasn't backed by Lerner. From what I saw, he conducted himself with class throughout his short stint.

Black's just care taking til a new manager comes in. And he knows it. Dropped Gabby after the sheesha incident, which is what most of us would have done.

I missed out Houllier in there. He did a few things to piss the fans off, but I thought him and GMac were a decent managerial team. Other than fawning over His former club Liverpool, what did he do to be described as a classless cock-socket?

We've just been saddled with a series of poor appointments since O'neill left, as the club has looked to do things on the cheap. I'd argue none of those above since O'Leary could be described as class-less cock-sockets in the company of the likes of O'Leary, current Newcastle manager, Pearson, warnock etc.

Doesn't really matter anyway, I'd take the likes of classless cock-sockets such as Wenger or Fergie, even mourinho, if it meant we had a chance of actually winning something again.

Edit: sorry. Quite fail. This was in response to VID's last post a few pages back. I'll get me coat...

Also quoting from a few pages back:)

The classless cock sockets I was referring to were our esteemed senior players such as Agbonlahor, Richards and N'Zogbia.

You're correct that generally, our managers tend to be decent sorts. Prior to O'Leary, who the last one to get under my skin whilst in the job, you've probably got to go back to Bingo Billy to find one who was objectionable.

Sweet baby jesus and the orphans.

Seems no matter how badly we're run, Newcastle are always worse.

I was told earlier that Pearson's already got the job and we're waiting until the end of the season to announce it as he doesn't want a relegation on his CV. Just passing on what I've heard.

Why would it be "on his CV" if the club announced now "Nigel Pearson will be Aston Villa manager from June 2016"?

and by extension he still wouldn't be the manager if all he did was watch Villa games from the stands for the balance of the season.

A leaked story from Newcastle to make his life uncomfortable, even if it does make them look daft?

[Chris Jameson]

The biggest worry for me where Newcastle are concerned is the thought of Steven Taylor playing for Villa.

I quite like the "He's in it for the long haul" quote.

For £80K per week, regardless of division, I bet he is. Just like our mercurial No 11 has been in it for the long haul.

Still, look on the bright side. We could pick up Andros Townsend for a knock down £8M. They'll have only lost £4M in 5 months on that one?
