Manager for next season

[brian green]

Plus the ability to smile occasionally would help morale, ours and the players'.  Perhaps there is no place for BFR's sing alongs on the team bus but they players must be more confident in a happier mix.

Did anybody hear Neil Warnock on talksport? Somebody on Facebook said he was dropping heavy hints. Surely not.

if it is RDM (probably our best bet right now) the notion of two champions league winning managers in the Championship next season seems pretty noteworthy.

Again not awe inspiring but I am probably one of the few people who think he would get us up.  It isn't long term but he does a job and doesn't stand any crap.  We need to realise we are in the Championship and have to get back up within two years.

I heard him, nothing in it, just wants another job and didn't want to lose face by saying "I have no chance of managing a club the size and stature of Villa".

Must get a Mod to change my user name - HELP!!

And 2 European Cup winning teams.

Conspiracy theory time.  If Tone knows who his man is, and we're led to believe it's Pearson or Di Matteo, then why the delay?  Why not appoint them now seeing as they're both available? 

Something is nagging at me that we are waiting until after the Championship play off final...and Steve Bruce.

I wouldn't mind Warnock....

Now go and wash your mouth out immediately

I would absolutely hate having Warnock in charge, and it would have the double negative impact of making me completely lose faith in Dr Tony.

Done. (with a can of gin and tonic)

Benitez is obviously a very good manager, his record says as much. That said, I don't think that will necessarily translate to the long, hard slog of a Championship season.  I don't mean in terms of the type of football but in the seeming unremitting, relentless nature of a league season consisting of 46 games. He may do very well but I am would not take it for granted.

The good Doctor is quoted as saying " The club will announce its new manager in “one to two days”, apparently they are " seeking  candidate who has achieved success in the Championship, has experience in the Premier League “and maybe on European battlefields " and who has  " a diverse cultural and international background ”.............draw your own conclusions but that doesn´t scream   " Pearson " to me  .....unless he has some ´diverse´ International experience we haven´t heard about ...........Godzvilla!.

I have a few friends who are Leeds fans who would have a good laugh at you for thinking that.

His son definitely has some diverse international experience.
