From the outset, i've said Moyes or Pearson. They're both different types of manager and I think they'd both give us a decent chance of getting us back up.

Oh, and Moyes is 17/1 on Coral if anyone feels confident.

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

I'm with you both on the Pearson thing, the guy is an absolute wanker who people seem to want purely so the wankers in the team have to deal with a wanker in the dugout.

I am not turning my nose up at Moyes, I just don't want him as manager, I remember the clamber for Lambert and look how that turned out!

Moyes is nothing at all like Pulis

Indeed. Moyes brings on his creative players on 70 minutes.

The championship this season proved being solid and organised is the best way out of it.  Hull, Boro and Burnley all proved it.  If we get Moyes and give him 30 million we will finish top 2 i am sure.

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

Almost 6 out of 10 on here would disagree with you or put another way 9 out of 10 would disagree with the next favourite.

I am unsure myself and voted before the new owner was identified.  Would I change my mind now, I don't know but one thing I do know is that I always support a new Villa manager and give him time and recognise the situation that he has to manage under.

Chris Coleman is staying on as Wales manager, so he's not coming to Villa

Pearson continues to be the only pragmatic choice

I think the nutter angle is overplayed, I'm attracted to Pearson because I think he's capable of rebuilding on the basis of what he did, and what I've heard from Leicester fans.

I also feel he'd have a point to prove, and that we might just be the recipients of someone who's ready to really make his name.

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He has failed in his last 2 positions because his brand and style are outdated.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 would argue that his last 2 clubs didn't give him enough time. He left Everton in rude health.

On our way back last week, we stopped off for a beer and and we were joined by a coach load of Leicester fans. I got chatting to a couple of them who said Pearson was a fantastic manager who would get us back up.
