Next Villa manager

[Matt Collins]

Where's the David Wagner option?

[charleeco7]

He's not up there and might be lambasted but Hodgson for me.

My feeling is Dr Tony would go abroad again and go for a Garde  Walter Zenga type left field option.

Wasn't it reported one of the reasons he favoured RDM over Pearson was that Di Matteo had better standing in the far east due to his playing career so we could appeal to Asia markets more easily.

I'm not sure he'll pick a British option...the Chinese lot at Wolves didn't. We'll soon find out.

Percy tweeting that RDM will be gone within 48 hours....we go again

Percy has good sources...usually calls our transfers correctly so I'd take that as gospel.

Two week break is logical...we will surely at least won a game or two under the new manager as that pretty much always happens when a new manager comes in so that will start the ball rolling and if we can have a good run up to xmas we can still challenge for top 6.

[Exeter 77]

I think part of any new manager's problem will be that we aren't a team/squad but a collection of players which RDM  hfas tried to shoehorn into a starting XI.

I really believe that it doesn't matter who we get in tbh, somehow we'll still end up shit.

Spot on Exeter 77. By now they should have at least an understanding of each others moves and playing positions

Guus Hiddink is available

There have been strong whispers about Bruce for a while now.  I could see it being him.

[TEMPORALIS]

McLaren as manager? I'd rather see Dave Lee Travis play Macbeth.

Unless he promises to conduct all interviews and press conferences in his FC Twente Dutch accent. That might be worth it.

[The Edge]

Come on own up. Who voted for Schteve Mclaren?

Fix up mate that's losers talk!

[ASHTONVILLA]

Got a feeling he will want a 'name' known abroad.

That might mean an ex international manager like Hodgson, Sven, Allardyce or McClaren (shudders), or someone who has won the Champs league again (no idea).

Maybe even a Dalglish or Keegan. Can see it being a wtf appointment though.

We've been losers for a long time. A graveyard for managers careers and players that continually fuck shit up.

I'll believe things will get better when I start to see some positive change in terms of performances and results. At the moment, this is pretty much the same as the last 4-5 seasons, but in a division lower. I can see us getting relegated again tbh. There needs a strong personality to grab the club by the shoulders and shake it into life.

Wagner did you say?
