Next Villa manager

[KevinGage]

can any one tell me what style of play Steve Bruce plays
He's been a manager for years and I still can't tell

Generally a less refined version of MON boofball.

Well organised (ish) at the back (only so much you can do with Curtis Davies), don't create a whole pile. A threat from set pieces.

He actually tried to go a bit more expansive in the third year at Hull and that probably relegated them.

Anybody that has not been sacked by the Baggies and/or Small Heath

I'm hearing RDM has gone.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm hearing RDM has gone.

Word on Twitter is spreading. Which while not confirmed in the end is probably close to the truth. It's going to happen today or tomorrow. All very inevitable, sadly for us again.

any thoughts about going to Iceland?

Cheap frozen food, low in price, high in calories.

Gabby outlasts another manager. How many more?

[kippaxvilla2]

From someone allegedly ITK it will be announced tomorrow.

[Matt Collins]

I'm hearing maradona has been spotted at Coventry airport

I really think he'd get us going

I hope we pick someone who has a plan, shows a bit of passions, doesn't change the shape of the side 25 times during the same match. Someone with a bit of passion, someone who can manage a big club like Villa, with the weight of expectations, history and aspirations.  Who? Fuck knows. Hughton is safe and steady, Wagner would be interesting, Giggs might be worth a punt?  Bruce is tried and tested at this level.  I don't want any crooks or anyone that we have real doubts about, such as Colin Wanker, Pearson or Fat Sam. 

Di Matteo gone? We'll see.

Fits the bill for Gabby's resurrection?

And one checkout open with the predictably long queue. Obviously.

I would have thought that any club run by people with a brain would always be looking to have their next manager (or potential candidates) 'scouted' so that when the time comes you have realistic targets set up. This probably ought to take place very soon after any appointment is made.

Secondly, what the hell do they ask these people when appointments are being made. Did they ask Di Matteo what formation he would be playing? How long it would take for he players to familiar with this playing style? Would this set up be flexible enough / understood by the players so that the effect of any injuries / suspensions could be managed / overcome?

What a shambles.

The owner's going to make us the biggest club in the world within 5 years (or words to that effect).
Given that time scale I'm surprised that the current manager has lasted this long.

If it's true, and I hope it is,  it could be good news. Otherwise I suspect we could be heading for another relegation.
