Manager for next season

[Lastfootstamper]

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

Imagine how you'll feel if he sorts out the throw-ins, too!

[Chris Smith]

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

Would you have said the same about Alex Ferguson?

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

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. 

You are entitled to your opinion but I would imagine you part of an exclusive group in thinking that Moyes is a better manager than Ferguson. That isn't to say he is rubbish but in my view Ferguson has a claim on on being the best ever British manager but few would argue the same for Moyes.

Looks like Di Matteo might be off to Lazio. It would be quite a coup if he snubbed them for the Villa, I'm warming to the idea now.

Events seem to be pointing towards David Moyes, which in my opinion, would be a good indicator that the club are heading in the right direction. He's got a point to prove & we need someone with his stature.

People need to realise that in our current situation we'd be very fortunate to get him or anyone else with his experience.

The link with the prospective incoming CEO who appointed him at Everton may well point towards Moyes also.

Any enthusiasm for the new regime will end if Moyes walks through the door.

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

Neither can I.

I also can't believe Nigel Pearson is seen as such a great option.

[Malandro]

58% on here seem to want him. He's my first choice.
I think it would be a popular appointment, the right one, who knows.

[Jon Crofts]

What makes you think that?

i don't see much difference between him and people like Pulis, he is a very formulaic manager with no flair or imagination.
He has failed in his last 2 positions because his brand and style are outdated.
Just my opinion.

I'm quite staggered by it too, if we were to get Moyes in it would be an amazing coup given where we are.

[Lastfootstamper]

A 'no' to Moyes from me, too. Again, on the enthusiasm front. And not his, but mine. I'm excited by developments these last few days, and the thought of anyone, anyone slipping their feet under the desk for the next decade frankly bores me. And I think that's what Moyes would be looking to do.
I reckon the age of the dynastic manager went with Ferguson. RDM for me, with a brief, with full backing, to get us up at the first time of asking. Then do again what needs to be done next summer, and the rose garden come December, if needs be, should never be shied away from. And given the expensive fiascos of previous removals, 12month rolling contracts seem more sensible than they used to back in the day.
Whoever it is, I'd like to see every resource at the club lined up behind him.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Moyes is nothing at all like Pulis

your right its all opinions, I understand your argument, the manure fans wanted ferguson out when he first got there, and for the last 5 years of his reign, they wanted him out, as the money he spent and lack of success did not go un noticed by there fans, yes he won the league in his last season, but be real that was a poor team, and like this season the standard of football in the premiership has been not the Best.

Moyes is like McLeish but just better at it.  He sets a team up to be organised in defence and at set pieces and then lets the front 2/3/4 do their thing.  If you have good attacking players you'll sometimes play good football that creates chances in open play but other times you'll look like you've got no idea how to score and you're just playing for the clean sheet.

If he comes in that will be effective next season and maybe for a year or 2 back in the prem but I wouldn't want him to stay much longer than that.
