Manager for next season

[conman]

I said it a couple of weeks ago and I'll say it now. We've been relegated. Some of our supporters reckon we'll be lucky to stay in the Championship. And yet, for some unfathomable reason, David Moyes isn't good enough for us. I really, really, can't work it out.

I know it's absolutely bonkers. I just can't get my head around the idea that Moyes isn't good enough for us.

And yet Nigel Pearson with one promotion to the top division to his name and sacked after one year in the Premier League is some kind of managerial genius.

The above poll tells us Moyes is the manager most Villa fans want though.

That means nothing , most villa fans wanted lambert

You miss my point. It was in reply to posts from others who couldn't believe so many are sneering at Moyes.

There will always be a section of supporters who will think that even managers with a pedigree and a decent record in the top flight wouldn't be good enough or deserve the chance to manage our club. They also fail in many cases to suggest realistic choices for the post themselves.

Er the reality is we no longer can attract the big names.

If we can attract Moyes I think it would be a brilliant appointment. But I think he's too good for us, not the other way round anymore.

I would be delighted if we got Moyes. First, I think he's a very good manager who would sort us out but second it says so much about our ambition, intent and what he's been told in order to accept the job. I think he's the best scenario we can possibly hope for.

I would say it's the dream scenario give our current position.

I dreamt that we got Moyes last night. Nobody should ever dream about David Moyes. Fuck you, Villa.

I shouldn't laugh at that but you're absolutely right. Fuck me.

There should be no rush in appointing the new manager now. We're down, and the players that got us there are not going anywhere for at least 2 months. Let Black coast to the end of the season and then have a clean sweep of the club. Terminate contracts, pay lads off, but get rid of anyone that has contributed to the shameful shambles of the last 18 months and let the new manager start anew. And shoot anyone who suggests that Pearson is the man for the job.

If we cant get Moyes then Mark Warburton for me...........

[martin o`who??]

I hope the search is past the "well advanced stage" we're fortunate that there are a good number available with the type of background we will need but if we delay too long those numbers will inevitably diminish and so will our chance of making the right appointment.

I think it's Pearson still, and has been for a while

Possible. Equally that number could grow as clubs part company with managers at the end of the season. Could go either way.

Well he got my vote, I know the Albion lot (and I've had this from ST holders whose opinions I trust) are really hoping we don't get him because of how they rated him when he was at the Hawthorns.

me too dont ask me why

[Toronto Villa]

If it is and his appointment is part of a complete and considered search then that's fine. Whoever we realistically appoint will have detractors. What's critical is that we make the appointment and give the manager full support in getting us out of this mess quickly.
