Manager for next season

Southgate might just have been there because he wanted to watch a game and a couple of old colleagues were there.

Sitting with them though Dave would suggest it had arranged for him to go with the Villa delegation, as opposed to Southgate going separately.

I actually think Southgate was prematurely sacked by Boro. He's also done well with the U21s. I think he'd be a decent appointment.

I think Southgate as Head of Football Operations could be a good move.  He could give us the stability and continuity in the long term that we need behind the scenes and ensure the Club is run effectively from 1st Team down to the academy.

Please let this be the case.

I wouldn't choose Southgate for manager, but if he wanted a role at Villa Park I'd snap his hand off. He's an intelligent man and there's a reason he was captain at every side he played for (England excepted). I think he'd be the genuine football brain the club's lacked for so long.

DOF maybe, but not as a Manager. He doesn't fit the criteria that Bernstein set for starters. It's a definite no to Southgate for me.

Agreed.

They appear to have closed the book on Villas new manager on Skybet

New manager markets get closed and opened all the time.

Ive checked it every day since Remi left ( sad I know) It's the first time I've seen it closed

Now relegation is confirmed I wonder if we'll announce a new manager in the next couple of days? Tomorrow's papers will be interesting (I hope).

I still reckon it'll be at the end of the season.

Probably. The whole club just needs a lift of some sort though.

Gabby would eat Southgate for breakfast, probably quite literally!

Agreed.

Or he sat with them because he knows them.

Yeah, but there's no harm in starting the " It's Pearson" thread now though
