New manager- when will it happen?

[Jim Shoes]

Danny Brown wants MON back

I'm not telling him he's wrong

Haha Tell Danny to get a life.

I want Brian Little with John Gregory but it ain't gonna happen either.

No love for Brenda Rodgers? He may be going back to Swansea, but he seems to tick a few boxes.

Id be happy with Rodgers.  Plays good attractive football.

[Clampy]

If we go for anyone else and it fails, we'd never hear the end of 'we should have got Moyes while we had the chance'.

The only one downside to him is that he hasn't managed in the championship for a fair while, although there are some manager's who haven't or hadn't managed there at all and have still done a reasonable job. The upside is that he'd be ideal if we get back up. Let's just hope the stories that he want's it are true.

Ideally we get someone in as soon as possible, so a proper assessment can be done, but more importantly it has to be the right man and if that takes them weeks, months, so be it.
No future employer off our next manager, after we have finished with him, can taint him with relegation, if they know anything about football, we have been in intensive care for years, it wont be the next manager that has pulled the plug, that honour belongs to our absent owner.

I'd be happy with with him too.

Going along with the 'hasn't managed in the championship' vibe, he also has never been promoted out of it, as my Baggies mate just reminded me of. Here's hoping he gets the job and that there's a first time for everything!

Sorry not for me. He was awful at Reading not just Liverpool.

I'd be concerned with him that he wasn't just a fortunate manager who was in the right place at the right time with both Swansea (heading in an upwards direction post Martinez laying foundations), and having a superstar scoring fuckloads of goals at Liverpool. Christ, we even beat them 2 or 3 times under Lambert at Anfield when he was there.

I'll say one thing, if Moyes wants a decent way to rebuild his reputation, then getting us promoted quickly and even mid tablish would be an obvious way of doing it.

Agreed. Allardyce took the same risk when taking the West Ham job in the Championship and it worked well for both parties.

I'd hope we'd have the ambition to get rid of Moyes once we're up and safe. He may be the right man for a quick fix but he's got his limitations. Allardyce got them up to 12th but West Ham had the ambition to know with the right man they could push on.

Are you really sacking him before he's joined?

Yup. Why, am I not allowed to?

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as after last years promotion he's got us in the top 10 on a shoestring and we've dot a decent chance of a UEFA place next year.

No, this is Randy Learner's Villa after all. If he gets up promoted he will be rewarded with a new 25 year contract.

[Jon Crofts]

In an ideal world whoever it is doesn't get a 4 year deal we end up terminating after 2 years or less because we've outgrown them or they turn out to be bobbins like the last 5 have.  Not sure who'd come in on a rolling 1 year deal with maybe an option after 12 months to change to a 2 or 3 year deal, we just can't afford to get this one so horribly wrong again.

Moyes or Rodgers in that order for me I think.  If Pearson even gets interviewed then I really worry about where we're headed.

That all sounds very MON. Now there was a manager with serious limitations that we should have thanked and replaced a couple of years before he ran away.
