Manager for next season

[ozzjim]

It would be idiotic. Part of the thinking of the next man has to be to build bridges to the fans. McCarthy is about as inspiring as listening to a seminar on the properties of drying paint.

Beige. Definitely beige.  Would be a crap, boring appointment.

Well he's used to working on a shoestring budget...

What is the point of Twitter? Has to be rubbish, surely?

It would be a bit of a daft appointment. You know, more and more I think that the most important aspect of any manager is personality. Look at how teams reflect their managers: a Guardiola team looks OCDish and control-freaky, a Klopp team is rushing and mad and explosive, a Lambert team is meek and passive, a Sherwood team is full of aimless running in no coherent direction.

What would the McCarthy personality bring to Villa? My guess: a sense of treading water, uninspired working, muddling through to mediocrity. We need a bit of inspiration and fire at this stage, and McCarthy - nice guy though he sounds - would not provide that.

Anyway, it looks like bollocks.

1st day in the job today so please bear with me whilst I get used to things. Genuinely delighted to have joined the team at @ForestEchoNews

Yet on his first day sources tell him a compo package has been agreed with Ipswich... Surely not.

Since McLeish we have to treat every bullshit rumour as credible. Any minute now someone will circulate that "one in the hole" gif on twitter. I wonder if Mick get royalties for that crap?

[PaulWinch again]

Mick McCarthy may have got clubs promoted, but it's been a while he's been at Ipswich four years. Also he's failed pretty miserably in the top flight. We should be looking at a long term strategy that has the short term goal of promotion next year. Mick McCarthy absolutely isn't the man for that.

Oh god yeah. File under "shite".

If we employ McCarthy as manager it'll just prove to me that the new board members Bernstein and co with Brian Little advising is just another PR stunt by Lerner.
They really wouldn't be that stupid, would they??

Whoever we get next time will have fuck all to do with Randy,
He will be the new boards man and a Randy will just rubber stamp their choice

I remember the rumour starting about McCleish and thought  "they would not be that stupid"  nothing would surprise me with this shower

There's also the prospect that our top choices may not want the job and we'll end up having to scrape the barrel, much like we did with McLeish.

Well it will, because like it or not he sets the budget, and that dictates the type of manager/player we can sign.

The scary thing is you are right, after the lunacy that was the scot, anything is possible.
No sane person would dream of another failed ex Bluenose journeyman but there are two on that list along with other utter dross.
I thought that the first mention of the Scot was a piss take but, !!
We should be scared, very scared.
I think that is why 60+% are voting for Moyes
