Manager for next season

[PeterWithesShin]

He turned them down in December. I can't remember the second time apart from media links after he was sacked by Reading.

Yep I saw it after I posted.

I quite like Di Matteo. Liked him as a player. Seems a good bloke. But is he what we need? I think longer term he'd be better than Pearson, but I think we need someone a bit more barnstorming to blitz through this squad, kick out the wasters and inspire a great deal of hard work. I think RDM would be better taking this job once we've been on an upturn. Perhaps to do something along the lines of what Ranieri did at Leicester (of course not to that level of success).

I could live with us appointing Di Matteo.

[Hookeysmith]

Not for me. Don't think there is any evidence of RDM being able to sort a bunch of mutinous bastards  like we have. He might not be everyone's cup of tea but I think Pearson is exactly what we need at present.

[Villafirst]

RDM just doesn't seem hard enough for this squad. Hope the decision makers aren't going to fuck it up yet again! Pearson is the man for this situation, to sort the shirkers and lazy wasters.

Not sold on him purely due to Albiom fans saying he got the bit for never being there. Always in London etc and was pretty half arsed.

His championship winning side was nowhere near as good as the one Pearson built either.  The year he won it with West Brom, Leicester were relegated.

My nearest club is MK Dons and people who work for the club (well the two I know) said exactly the same, he was very lazy

I don't know why he was in London, he lived in Leamington at the time. Not seen him for about eighteen months though.

I will present Match Of The Day in my underpants if Roberto Di Matteo gets Aston Villa back in the Premier League by May 2018.

This could be entertaining !

[Steve67]

Agree that he is lazy and arrogant. I personally don't like him. Moyes, Rodgers, now that Swansea don't want him, or Pearson for me.

[TonyD]

Nigel over him any day.  I want somebody to kick arse.
