Manager for next season

[PaulWinch again]

Oh well that's disappointing, but can't see why he wouldn't have anticipated us wanting a quick decision.

[conman]

Moyes has ruled himself out according to the bbc

there is a god

[passitsideways]

Whatever, he's shit anyway.

[ozzjim]

If that's the genuine reason he's not right for it.  We absolutely need someone in starting work next week. Pre season planning player recruitment backroom staff etc. All vital now.

I realise I am not in a majority but they need to get on and appoint Pearson now before he falls out of the running now.  On the basis that other credible candidates are now dropping out.  And as for Moyes - you know Villa and Scottish manager's we have avoided one there in my view.

[Hookeysmith]

It is said you get promoted until you reach incompetence

Moyes was good at Everton but not good at United
Martinez was good at Wigan but became stale at Everton
Lambert won accolades at Norwich got it wrong at Villa


So I have no problem with a Manager for the task at hand and then build again when stabilised - just like we would expect with players bought for a job this year but would need to be changed if we were back in the prem

just caught up the posts

im really not fussed with Moyes not coming

[JUAN PABLO]

so who's bigger than Villa who needs a manager david ?

[Brend'Watkins]

No Moyes.  Great news.

[cdbearsfan]

No Nigel Pearson. We are supposed to conduct ourselves with a little more class.

And in any case I don't want someone who took the next season's Champions to 14th.

[OzVilla]

If that's his attitude then he's clearly not the right man for us, not the other way around.

If funds really are in place then you'd hope Moyes would back himself and really want the job.

His loss.

Re-set the pole? And for those whose sole criteria is to have managed/won promotion before, the likes of Warnock, McCarthy, Adkins and Holloway should be right there at the top of the list

[Countryside Villain]

I mean, it's a quote from Pat Murphy so it must be true...  But I can't see how any manager wouldn't want to be getting on with the job ASAP and dictate the summer prep needed.  He obviously thinks something better will be coming along but I'd say he has a lot to prove still after his last couple of jobs so would be surprised if there was anything massive around the corner for him.

Anyway, screw him.

[JUAN PABLO]

Van gaal it is then

[Musicmaan]

Hmm... I was expecting an announcement by the end of today. I guess that's not gonna happen now.
