Next Villa manager

[SoccerHQ]

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

Wasn't that Sherwood?

[SoccerHQ]

There is no way Howe will come to us.

He'll stay at Bournemouth a few more years and as long as he keeps them up will go to somewhere like Southampton or Everton or even the England job.

If we can't locate a manager capable of shaping a team capable of competing at this level with the finances we currently have available then I fucking give up. What's wrong with these twats. All this bullshit about fans expectations weighing heavy and the pressure it induces. Oh boo fucking hoo. Buy some half decent players with some balls. Obviously that means Westwood has to go taking captain fucking Marvel with him.

[PeterWithesShin]

I agree that it's extremely unlikely he'd come, just that he's about as close to a SGT type that there is at present.

The weight of Aston Villa would crush him, not that he'd ever come to us if course. At present nothing more than what he's achieving now is expected of him. And as I said earlier his track record is no better than Lambert's was. I'd love him to give us a try though.

[LukeJames]

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 at the moment.

So was Sir Graham.

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

The best thing aboit Howe is hes the spitting image of Gary Gardner so could play in his place.

Why are we talking about managers currently managing Premier League clubs? They are not going to drop a division to manage in the Championship Has that ever happened ??

[mike]

The fact that people are suggesting Neil Warnock and not being subject to Momentum twitter levels of abuse shows just how low we have sunk.

[ASHTONVILLA]

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

He also got Notts County into the top division.

No but Two Millions pounds a year is very persuasive.

[SoccerHQ]

Warnock would get us away from the bottom bit fairly quickly I reckon.

Wouldn't bank on him getting us in the play offs though.

Really Steve Bruce is the outstanding candidate which probably shows our standing or lack of it in the modern game these days.

Would I be correct in stating that not one of those is working as a manager right now? Aston Villa job - career killer. They all start positively, they all end with the manager looking ill and/or resembling a tramp

the next one will definitely get it right.

[Toronto Villa]

Neil Warnock is 67 years old. We don't need a bloke very much at the tail end of his career taking on this job. He might have had the energy for this 10-15 years ago. He is not what we need now.

Maybe then it's the case that they were either past it or never actually any good. We're a football club and the right manager and coaches will sort us out.
