Manager for next season

[mr underhill]

it's Neil W.

[exiled on the wirral!]

Phew that's a relief..very glad he's gone to Derby, very satisfied with Di Matter personally.

[Mossie Hennebry]

I'm glad Pearson's of the list. I will admit that I don't know what kind of manager will be able to mould this hopeless bunch into a winning team, though. Sky think it looks increasingly like it will be Di Matteo.

Well Derby have a more settled side and players that know this level. It's probably an easier job to get them up than Villa next season. However i am delighted we are not getting that pratt. Total arse and i really hope we finish above them.

[mr underhill]

it's going to be interesting next season - Rafa at the Jawdies, Nige at Derby and possibly RDM with us.

[Bottom Right 89]

Brian McDermott is now available, sacked by Reading.

[cdward]

Reading have sacked McDermott and are talking to Jaap Stam about being new manager. That's the kind of madness we have usually been linked with.

[Walmley_Villa]

Has to be RDM - let's just get it done, get behind him and start the rebuild ASAP....

[Clampy]

That's a good move by Derby, he'll have them up there challenging. This is going to be a bloody tough league to get out of. It wouldn't surprise me if it took us 2 seasons.

Yep, them and Newcastle are a good bet to go up I reckon. Not expecting to go up this season, I'd be happy with a bit of stability

Its getting no better at the moment ......... to have lost Moyes and Pearson is simply unacceptable

I am afraid RDM is NOT the right choice

[PaulWinch again]

Pearson gone to Derby!

Another mistake by the Villa!

One fcuk up after another!

What a load of utter nonsense.

Who is the right choice? realistic, obviously.

He is though.

We haven't 'lost' Pearson or Moyes, they weren't offered the job. Di Matteo actually makes sense, look at his record. I have a friend who supports MK Dons and he said that the team Di Matteo got promoted for them had some terrible personnel, but he got them playing as a team and playing good football. If we hire Di Matteo I'll be pretty happy.
