Manager for next season

[cdbearsfan]

After a brief few days of hope that we might get RDM I'm now convinced it's going to be that prick Pearson again.

I'd be delighted if Moe Szyslak turns up now, he was my first choice when, seemingly decades ago, Garde got the push.

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I reckon Moyes would come now. Celtic and Watford have new managers. Rafa looks like he's staying at Newcastle and Everton appear to be looking elsewhere. Where else is he gonna go?

Moyes to Villa still 14/1. I'm sticking a tenner on.

A big no for Moyes.
Do we really want another Scotsman?
I can't remember a successful Scot manager at VP in my lifetime.

[Bill Locky]

I get that but I don't get what the Premier League have to do with it, apparently they have to do a test too. What are they going to do if Dr Xia tells them to bugger off, kick us out of the Premier League?

If the Premier League are making Parachute Payments, I expect they have a right to know who are what the payments are going to.

Would you have said the same about Alex Ferguson?

So? What does the performance of a person have to do with the nationality of their predecessors?

If you applied for a job, would they be justified in turning you down if the previous incumbent was sacked for embezzlement and incompetence and he happened to be from the same country as you?

Pick the best man for the job, regardless of nationality.

Our European Cup-winning manager was English. The next English manager we had helped get us relegated. The next one we had after that was brilliant again.

The nationality of a predecessor has no bearing whatsoever on the capability of a potential successor.

Us Villa fans would have driven him out long before the F A Cup run that saved his job.

Probably not with the benefit of hindsight, but, it's irrelevant as he was employed by a very successful club and would never have left so would never have been available.

I can't believe, given our position, that, if he were interested in coming to this, still, clusterfuck of a club, people are turning their nose up at David Moyes.

A big no for Moyes.

I don't give a shit,

I believe Moyes is a better manager than Ferguson.

I think if Moyes came to Villa, then yes we could be the power of the English game,

he did a good job at PNE, He did a great job at Everton (could ferguson of done that?) at manure he was not given time, his my choice, but I will support whoever we get in, just that a top name manager is reason to be optimistic.

It's my opinion, and I don't happen to think Moyes is the best man for the job either.
If he gets the job, though, he will have my, 100%, support.

Fair comment Nigel, I have a different opinion, we agree on that we will support whoever is appointed, but just out of interest who would you like??

[PeterWithe]

It would be great if it was Moyes, imagine the unbridled joy of not expecting to concede from every frigging corner.

That's fair enough. There are legitimate reasons for not wanting Moyes... I want him but would admit he stunk out the last two clubs he managed. However, his nationality is not a reason to reject him, as you implied in your earlier post.

It may have just been a jokey remark that I have read too much into though, in fairness!

Whoever it is next year, it's going to be fucking weird still being in the ground with eighty minutes gone.
