Manager for next season

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think Moyes will find a bigger job than Aston Villa this summer. And we won't find a more established or reputable manger than him.

Or more dour and boring.

You would've hated Ron Saunders.

Ron was neither dour or boring. He was dry and funny with it.

I bet the non Villa world thought he was dour and boring.

Prior to Villa he won a second division title at Norwich. Hardly successful before the masterstroke he pulled off with us. Sometimes things just need to align and they did for him with us.

6 top 6 finishes in 11 seasons for Moyes, broke the Champions League stranglehold of certain clubs, goal difference of +98 for his last 7 seasons there. We would be doing very well to get Moyes to drop down in to the Championship, it would be a huge statement of intent. His rep has taken a blow at Man Utd and Sociedad, he wont be risking failure here, he'll know very well what he's got to work with. If he joins, Xia and Villa mean business.

David Moyes has become the front runner to become the next manager of Aston Villa according to sources, with the former Manchester United boss considering a formal offer to take the reins.
Three potential candidates for the job have been confirmed in an exclusive interview with owner-in-waiting Tony Xia: Roberto Di Matteo, Nigel Pearson and Moyes.
Xia has declined to say which of the trio has been offered the job but it is understood Moyes is in the driving seat.

Moyes is represented by his agent brother, Kenny, who is believed to be negotiating the terms and conditions under which his sibling would take the post.
Sources say Xia’s representatives held lengthy face-to-face talks with Moyes at the former Everton manager’s home on Thursday night.
The principle consideration for Xia is hiring a man he believes can get Villa promoted from the Championship as soon as possible, a feat Di Matteo and Pearson have both proved they can do, with West Brom and Leicester respectively.

But Xia also wants a manager capable of being part of his Villa project longer-term, firstly getting them back up, then stabilising them, then making a push for Europe.
Moyes is believed to have outlined his case that he could need to build three Villa sides, one to achieve each of those goals, and his detailed thinking made an impression.
The key issue now is whether he believes the summer could throw up a more immediate opportunity at a Premier League club, and whether he considers waiting for such a chance is a risk.
Pearson was the preferred candidate selected by outgoing chairman Steve Hollis, while Di Matteo also impressed Xia's advisors but is reportedly in talks with Lazio.

To us maybe. Other fans considered him dour. I'm sure we would get to like Moyes if he won a few games.

I never cared what other fans thought, I loved him.

Any manager that starts winning a few games I'm sure we'll like. I just want a manager that can get us promoted next season. Then ideally that manager can keep us up for a season. After that we can have a rethink.

We don't just need a decent manager, we need one with a strong personality, and who will rebuild this club from the ground up.

Of the three names mentioned, Moyes strikes me as the obvious one.

What's more, we have just been relegated, we are going to need to try to remain relevant and high profile. Appointing Moyes would certainly achieve that. Moyes and Benitez managing in the championship would make for a very interesting season 

I'm amazed some are turning their nose up at him.

I'm not turning my nose up at him and I think he'd be capable of getting us back up and fixing the defence which has been fundamentally broken for 4 years. I do, however, think he's got a very obvious glass ceiling and I believe the football wouldn't be the most eye-catching. Additionally he would be coming on the back of 2 high profile failures and that can affect people in ways you might not predict.

it is legitimate to compare his time with Everton and Rons time with us, in FAct it isn't because there is no comparison and it was pretty idiotic for someone to bring the great mans name into a debate about Moyes.

Get it done!

Years of shiteness to be replaced by complete dullness.  Meh.

[aj2k77]

Or years of comical defending, poor concentration, no shape or organisation, players ruling the roost and getting beaten, replaced by actually having a game plan and drilled players.

Quality post

[Ron Manager]

I would be happy with either Pearson or Moyes.Both of them are strong on discipline .Both however will want to be sure that Dr Zia is the real deal before they sign anything .

[CJ]

Well I'd be over the moon if we get Moyes. Think he's exactly what we need right now. And if it happens I'll be switching my vote from 'Nope' to 'Yep' on the positive about Recon poll.
