Next Villa manager

[KevinGage]

Aye, whoever it is, they need to be emotionally invested in the thing. 

I don't necessarily mean MON-style lepping around on the touchline or Sherwood-esque playing to the gallery either.

But Di Matteo gives off the air of an area manager, breezing in and phucking off. I can well imagine him at home tonight not bothered in the slightest. That selection today looked like someone who wanted the sack. One midfielder second half-and a ropey one at that.

We need someone who wants to make their name with us, looks like they could go far and already has some aptitude at this level. Rowett and Wagner fit that description. Not sure about the others.

Alladyce? Warnock? Bruce? - I won't be here if any of these jokers breeze in.
Hughton is the best of a bad choice.

and yet people still trot out the same old dreary names,
multi millionaires who have won vurtually nothing in the game who don't give a fuck about the club just how much pay off they will get when they join the long lust of failures

"the long lust" - yeah, you're right there; we're bursting to continue the downward trajectory.

Dean Smith ..... Villa fan ...has passion ..... done excellent job at Walsall and Brentford

Smith is Villa through and through. Plus Brentford made us look like donkeys at VP.

I went with Mancini, because I honestly don't think anything matters at this point. I've told myself 100 times over the last 5 years "Finally, we have a proper _____. Now, we're ready to turn the corner." Fill in the blank with a player, manager, owner, backroom staff, someone with a footballing brain, DOF, groundskeeper, captain, transfer budget.. It doesn't matter. We just keep falling and falling.

I know it sounds like this post is being sent from a ledge, but I just can't take this anymore. I might have to take a few weeks off from the Villa. It's just agonizing. The brightest moments of our last few years has been the satisfaction from sacking shitty managers and flogging deadwood.

We're being played off the pitch by such awful, tiny clubs. There is so little pride in the genetic makeup of the club at this point, sans the supporters. I don't feel like convincing myself we're a big, prestigious club anymore.

I doubt he'd do worse..

Hughton or Dyche for me. Can't believe the clamour for Rowett. Five bad games and the nutters would be on his back straight away

dyche? really?

leave the pl and come to a side in the bottom 6 a division lower hhhmmm

I didn't say it was likely!

nurse!

I don't think it's massively unlikely, he's in the prem with Burnley there will always be a glass ceiling there
we had near on 6000 fans who haven't seen an away win for over a year at Preston today, that counts for something in football, honestly there arnt many clubs who have gone through the shit we have that would still command the support we do,
it's not just about league positions it's about ambition

if dr X is everything he says he is why wouldn't Dyce if he really wants to manage a big club with funds come and have the belief to take us up then he has what he wants a big club in the premier league

Sorry I don't see it as a 'nurse' sort of question

I'd take Rowett, but I think he'd tell us where to go. So I'd settle for Dean Smith. He can't be worse than the current dimwit, can he?

Rowett would crawl over broken glass to escape that lot and manage the Villa.

I'm not so sure about that. Firstly, he seems bright enough to understand the inherent pitfalls involved in crossing the city; secondly, he probably has enough faith in his ability to believe he can get a job of equal stature elsewhere.

If you ever have the misfortune of working behind the scenes at the Sty, it would take one nanosecond to understand the gulf between our institutions.

Rowett would be gone like a shot.

And why bloody not?
Probably the best team ive seen at VP so far
I'm sick of being linked with the usual dinosaurs.
How about giving a Villa fan a go whose career is definitely on the up.

I'd love him as our manager but the job is way too big for him.

Spot on Leeb
we are shit on the pitch we are not a shit club

[The_ads]

Mancini. LOL.

[OzVilla]

Problem is, we are a Championship club already miles off the pace ths season, miles off. So it's going to be hard to gain promotion now whoever comes in, plus all the sorting out to do. The current manager doesn't know his best team so it'll also take time for the new bloke.

We've probably blown this season already tbh.

I'll be honest, I've had my fill of 'up and coming' managers. Our last 5 now fall into that category and the job was beyond all of them.
