Next Villa manager

[Virgil Caine]

I would have voted for Warburton for the following reasons:-
- he is a tactically aware manager
- he knows the division and understands what is needed
- he understand the concept of working in a club that is in crisis
- he appears to be a discplinarian and expects high standards
- he, like Ranieri and Howe believes in effective team work rather that reliance on individuals.
- if he somehow did get us up I think he could prepare the team for the Premiership

[VillaAlways]

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.

You would think/hope he will be guided by Wyness and Round

The only manager I'd trust to sort our lot out would be bighead Allardyce based on what he managed with Sunderland last season - they were terrible and he turned them round. We need turning round big style. I don't care about the style of football and we can get rid should we ever grace the Premiership again.

[gpbarr]

Whoever it is, they must possess two things that we have missed in years;

1. Tactically smart
2. Motivational

I still believe we have a strong squad more than good enough for this league. But they are totally bereft of confidence and totally bereft of direction. Someone has to get them together and remind them they are way better than this, but then set them up to their strengths.

A big week for Xia and Wyness - we are in deep deep trouble if they get this one wrong

How do I modify the poll to add other names like Wagner, who seems an interesting option given what he's done so far at Huddersfield? Or even Pearson who I didn't even consider.

This bloke Wagner.....does he conduct himself well?

He had a very good career on the right wing.

[The Edge]

I agree Monty but who???

I much prefer the Rowett option, though some of the reservations expressed here are valid. There are great managers out there, in Germany and France and Spain and so on. We need to stop thinking within this tiny box. A Bruce - or God help us a Warnock - is a panic appointment, a relegation-fighting appointment. It doesn't bespeak any sort of planning or ambition.

A Bruce or A Warnock?  Is there several to choose from?

He was mad as a box of frogs on X factor

[JUAN PABLO]

The sun saying Lee Johnson is one candidate

[CT]

The last time we didn't want McLaren, we got TSM1.

When will the nightmare end?

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

As previously requested, I would like a manager who wants to attack. I don't care about going up playing defensive and boring. Attack teams. Play exciting football. Score goals.

Whoever can do this is the manager I want.

[Clark W Griswold]

Martinez?

I've added Wagner and the nutter.

[Toronto Villa]

Martinez?

He's manager of Belgium. He's hardly leaving that to come to us. And quite frankly him and RDM are cut from the same cloth/ Talk a great game, wear nice suits, deliver next to nothing.
