Next Villa manager

[PeterWithesShin]

We're in nowhere near the mess sha were when he took over. 23rd in the table, no money, a team of nobodys, owner in prison. On no planet are we in a worse state.

Allardyce would sort out a lot of the shit, but he has got enough shit himself to sort out, before he gets back into club management.I don't think he will manage for at least 12 months.

No to Rowett for me, not at this stage.  No matter how much of a mess the Blues were when he walked in there it's nothing compared to the state of the Villa.  Plus, expectation at the Blues is always minimal whereas we've seen the last four managers crack under the pressure of the Villa job.

I know Allardyce is a twat but he'd sort the club out from top to bottom and I would be extremely confident he'd not only get us promoted this year but have us playing in a way that would be good to watch.

But surely facing a ban from football very soon?
We're already a laughing stock, do we really want to add to it by hiring Fat Sam after he's just been disgraced, I don't think so.

[Matt Collins]

The attraction now is more the money than anything else - the opposite to recent years

[PeterWithesShin]

Can you imagine the baggage that would come with Allardyce assuming he doesn't cop a ban. Last thing we need is a manager under pressure from the national press the second he walks through the door.

Get Doug to choose. He picked, on the whole, some fine managers.

Tongue in cheek, but we need a solid choice.

Your tongue might be in your cheek, but not even his most vociferous opponents can't accuse Doug of appointing five successive duds.  In fact most of his duds were followed immediately by a good' un. 

[ozzjim]

The key with Dougs were that they mostly had an impact and a good 12 months to start with. When did we last have a manager start well?!

[Ron Manager]

So it seems the only three sensible choices are Bruce,Rowett and Roy Hodgson.

So Chris Hughton it is then.

I'd rather have that than yet another young up and coming manager to flounder.

Replace 23rd with 19th and hes not far off the mark...

Apart from we have money, a squad of players just about any club in the division would kill for and the owner isn't in prison, it's right on the mark.

Have we really got the monet,the squad is shite and it wouldnt surprise me if Dr T is wanted.

[pooligan]

I never thought i would say this,Steve Bruce .A good manager at this level,lives nearby and is free

that's just silly.

Villa are far better off on all counts than Blues pre Rowett. He would be nuts not to jump ship.

We'll we've just spent £30m, more on one player than sha have spent in years. No it isn't, it's a good squad being badly managed. There is zero evidence that is the case.
