Manager for next season

[Chico Hamilton III]

Does anyone think any Villa manager will get a penny to spend next season?

Will get what we can raise in transfer fees I reckon.

Then we really are fucked...

Grayson is in Birmingham tonight so we could pinch him for chat over last orders.

I've said before on this thread that I would embrace Grayson. Positives outweigh the negatives with him.

I'm not sure. His record at getting teams out of league one is impressive but we need someone who's got teams into the premier league ideally.

At the same time he's hardly been at clubs you'd tip for promotion straight after promotion from division 3. He left Blackpool after taking them up to go to Leeds. Took Leeds up, then finished 7th and was then sacked with them 10th and 4 points off the playoffs, they finished 14th 14 points off them. 7th is their highest place for a decade.
Went to Huddersfield and took them up. Was sacked with them 18th after a poor run, pretty much the only one he's had in his career. They only finished 19th anyway.
Went to Preston, kept them up, took them to the playoffs, and then promotion. Currently 10th.

He wouldn't be an appointment to excite fans but strikes me as a decent one.

Probably between £10m-£15m I'd expect.

Guessing that's from a fire sale? So we'd need to buy, I dunno, 8 players with that? Or we'd have to play some of the aresholes who we can't shift. Doesn't look good.

Under the current owner whoever the new manager is will not get a penny. Any money raised will be used to offset the drop in revenue. We'll be in the bargain basement for free transfers only, with Championship experience. We're fucked until Lerner goes.

I have a feeling that Brian Little will be our manager at the start of next season.

I reckon we'll probably buy four new players for the starting eleven. The likes of Baker, Gardner, Bennett, Robinson back to bulk out the squad.

Not perfect, but not a catastrophe either.

What i'm getting at is, I think we need someone who's got teams out of the championship and has been there when those teams have had blips along the way and got them through it, because all teams do at some point.

With things as they stand I can't see us getting our top choices. They'd be mad to come here. So with that in mind I think Grayson is one of the better options who would come to us and at the very least is someone we could all get behind.
But really, I'm just praying we get a buyer and we can still attract a bigger name. As things stand though I'd settle for someone to keep us up next season, because I honestly think we'll be in another relegation dog fight again.

I think it's a bit more these days but not sure how much?

If we had any money we'd be getting Moyes

[Pete3206]

I'm beginning to pine for the Alex Mcleish's Galácticos days.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm starting to think it doesn't really matter who the manager is when the owner is so determined to destroy the club.

We could appoint Simon Grayson, Chris Kamara, Pep Guardiola, Moyes or the Beast from The Chase for all the difference it'd make. We're fucked.

I'd agree, without the appropriate support it's a complete waste of time. 95% of the squad are either rubbish, wankers or both. We need a massive overhaul, but we have an idiot of an owner who seems intent on burning his investment to the ground.

Jesus there was a time we missed out on Benitez because we were not prepared to spend enough.
