Next Villa manager

[VillaAlways]

No desire at all to ever see Warnock as manager. I realize things are bad but fuck me, Neil bastard Warnock? Suggesting Steve Bruce has given me ulcers let alone someone like Warnock who is best now a surivival merchant but will never be big enough for a club like us. And I mean that as arrogantly as it sounds despite our current predicament.

Sitting 19th in the Championship, isn't that what we need ?

I have no doubt he could come in and get us a couple of wins to get us to 14th. Then what? We're stuck with him being massively average for the rest of the season. Sorry, not interested.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he get QPR and Palace promoted  to the Prem

Be a bit ironic if he turned us down wouldn't it!

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.

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.

Why do you say that? Maybe he's exactly what we need..?

The biggest job he's had is Brentford. He was a lower divisions player. He's a great bloke, he's doing well but I can't see being doing what we need now. He's Turner and we need Taylor.

On the flipside, Di Mateo played for Chelsea, won numerous trophies, including the champions league as a manager.

Well yes, quite. We tried a 21st century version of Taylor with Lambert. Remind us how that worked out again?  I can't see a problem with Smith, under the circumstances.

Taylor had a far longer and better top flight record than Lambert did before he arrived at Villa.

I take your point. But who comparatively could you match to Taylor these days? Who has taken a team through the divisions to the PL and kept them there for a few years without being poached and/or ruined? In the hire em fire em Wild West of the current PL Lambert is a pretty close match.

This job is going to need a confident, almost arrogant manager with unflappable self belief who everyone respects.

Look at Di Matteo, a couple of late goals and he shit himself and started defending the 18 yard box against Brentford after 45 minutes, the next game we turn up with 5 at the back. We need someone with an ideology, conviction and belief in themselves.

This bloke is a fucking crock of shit. This is a massive job now, the pressure is immense, we have a fan base that are at the end of their collective tether, 6 years of anger, humiliation, frustration and beatings.

Lambert is nothing like Taylor. Sir Graham took a fourth division club to the Uefa cup and never finished below 12th in 5 seasons including a runners up. Lambert had one season in the top league. Not tested at all.

Houllier
Mcleish
Lambert
Sherwood
Garde
RDM

the next one will definitely get it right.

So if we need another Taylor who might that be..?

No idea, can't think of any English manager that matches the pedigree Sir Graham had.

[PeterWithesShin]

Eddie Howe maybe but his record doesn't match Sir Graham.

Me neither. I think we just have to get lucky.

Eddie Howe maybe but his record doesn't match Sir Graham.

And he's only going up not down. Plus he only has the same pedigree as Lambert had at the moment.

So was Sir Graham.

I'd kill for Howe at this point in time.

It's been such a poison chalice, you do wonder if the more promising guys would take it.
