Next Villa manager

[jembob]

I can't see any reason why Seam Dyche would take a step down to us, but after seeing Burnley play Arsenal yesterday he seems to be the sort of man we need. Even the commentators were saying that Burnley were very well organised and that every player knew exactly what to do. It's been a long time since we have been able to say that about any Villa team but should be one of the most basic things which a manager does. Without proper fitness and decent organisation we'll never escape this league.

Having time to reflect I think Howe is probably the best fit for us.    Took a team of average players in to the Pl by playing nice football and getting the basics right .Just what we need.   Villa  or Bournemouth manager   -  no brainer decision for him...

This is such an arrogant attitude.  Same as click our fingers and Rowett will come running etc etc.

We are a shit team in a shit league and seemingly a graveyard for aspiring managers.  I cannot see for one minute why on earth Howe would give up his current position to come and manage our utter shambles, when the likelihood is all manner of better opportunities will present themselves over the next 12-18 months.

Right now I honestly do not think we are anywhere near as attractive as some think we are.  I'd be utterly amazed if any PL manager jumped ship to join us and frankly very surprised if any Championship manager did either.

If I was a manager I'd be thinking, nope, let some other bugger sort us out and turn the ship before I even consider it. Let's face it it'll take a pretty major change of fortunes to get us well up this table, and with the midfield we have thanks to RDM, I think we are screwed until the January window.

which is why I think the best we can do is a short termer with Bruce. As for Robbie - pack up your shit and go, please.

[PaulTheVillan]

I would go for Rowett if I were the doc.

Just something to remember, villa shades might be well and truly on here but let's not forget that up to a month ago we and our shit midfield were still the better side and doing Ok in games, but for some lack finishing we could have done a lot better.

This isn't a good division. You need to be organised, fit and up for the battle for 90 minutes, they don't give up down here. Get the basics right and let the little extra quality tell in the end.
 
We haven't got our basics right. We aren't organised and Di Matteo panicked when results didn't go our way and flip flopped.

We can still sort ourselves out this season. We aren't getting promoted, that's clear but unlike last season which ended with the club taking a fat shit on the fans heads by going through the motions we can build up a head of steam, get used to playing a certain way, have the players drilled, get some team spirit and get a few fucking winning runs before giving it a right old go next season again.

I take your point Warsaw but the common denominator in all our ex managers that you mention is that they were flawed before they came or had flaws which became apparent or were bone idle.  MON wanted to be Brian Clough, Houllier was a sick man with a superiority complex, McLeish had insufficient intelligence, Lambert was an enigma who seemed to have some sort of personal crisis, perhaps his broken marriage, that turned him into a cap doffer, Sherwood really wanted a career in the media, Garde had a yellow streak, Black was scoundrel and RDM did not fancy the job once it dawned on him how hard it was.

Sadly...good.

The Dr doesn't dawdle does he?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Clarke as Caretaker Manager whilst we search for a replacement.

Onwards and hopefuly Upwards

RdM has gone

I don't like anyone on the poll.  Sean Dyche would be my pick
