Next Villa manager

[joe_c]

Sherwood has announced his interest in the vacancy.

We're going to be really stupid again aren't we?

I just saw a fan on SSN suggesting him.

Incredible. I can't believe anyone thinks it'd be a good idea to go from one tactically void "try everything till something works" chancer to the actual worst of the lot in that category, especially one who has just contributed so richly to getting us where we currently are.

A Blues fan perhaps? Reminds me of a Liverpool fan being interviewed after Dalglish left.

Fan: "You should never go back."
Interviewer: "Who do you want to replace him?"
Fan: "Rafa."

It would be the most idiotic thing to do ever.

I do wonder whether, having seen them beat us at the weekend, and the fact he did a good job at Leeds, Grayson is in the running. He has done a grand job at Preston too.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Laurent Blanc? Come on Footy let's keep this in the vague realms of possibility.

Well he's out of work. Rafa benitez at Newcastle . Paul ince manged mk dons Kevin Keegan managed Fulham . He's no Diego Simone ! Now he would be the one. That would be realms of fantasy. But blanc is feasible if people have mentioned klinsman or ancelotti. If Patrick vieria managers in mls,  if scholoari Brazil  manager coaches in China bennitez in Newcastle why not !
Aim for the stars. Money talks now so xia has some he may want to make a statement

And this is why threads like this are laughable. It's in the same category of transfer rumours.

You are suggesting Laurent Blanc will be the next manager and you actually think it could happen.

Did you also think Jurgen Klopp was going to come to us a few years back?

[Chico Hamilton III]

so it's dyche as sensible option but ambitious one is Laurent blanc and left field Dennis bergkamp.

We're currently the 39th best team in England, are either of the above suggestions sensible? Wouldn't surprise me if Bruce turned us down after his experience with "eccentric" owners

How is Xia eccentric !!

Have you read his tweets? And I wonder how Laurent Blanc would feel if Xia interrupted his pre-match talk to deliver a PowerPoint presentation on the art of being successful.

People on twitter pleading for him too. Short of being a pally "one of the boys" chancer with less clue than Kardashian taking their 11 plus, what has he done to deserve such a high standing with some fans?

The Murdoch Media love a rent-a-gob cock-er-nay chancer don't they? I can only think those wanting Sherwood back are the sorts that believe Tim Lovejoy's time at Soccer AM heralded the start of football's real 'golden age'.

PNE fans grumble about his defensive tactics, and trying to hold on to leads too much. Plays the game like McLeish. Best avoided.

If that happens that is it for me.

Same here, mate. Utter madness.

I never thought I'd live to see the day that I want Steve Bruce as manager of Aston Villa.

I want Steve Bruce.

I don't get the love for Sherwood, hopefully it's just a few mongs on Twitter. They must have missed the Southampton game and the most embarrassing cup final performance.

The worry about the likes of Rowett, Smith or Grayson is the 'Lambert Principle' - doing well where they are, as Lambert did at Norwich, then they come to us and implode. I'd prefer someone with a longer, proven track record at different clubs - and that brings me back to the likes of Bruce, Hodgson, maybe Hughton, and (God forbid) Colin Wanker.

Apparently John Carver has applied for the job. Now we have hit rock bottom.

Just did a search on Tim Sherwood on Twitter. Was somewhat taken aback.

I'd prefer Jim Carver

I tell you now xia will go in for someone flash name it's how business works a big name extravaganza.  The more I think the more makes sense. Be world class to keep us guessing no necessarily end up with blanc or the like but will be good practice to be seen linked with. That was while point of the world class striker tweets . I figuured it out. Anyway I will just wait and see. All the Sherwood nonsense is just for speculation and makes supposed good tv. The likes of hoddle will soon getting mentioned too. It's just lazy journalism. Swansea clearly had someone lined up. I reckon xia has a few ideas. If it is wagner he's onto a guy who has hit ground running at huddersfield but would be working with new set of players. I like dyche and blanc or a big name will come in reckoning . Whilst we wait they 'll be people  like Yorke and John carver and Sherwood types who will provide the media with I'll throw my hat into the ring.
Anyway I won't say anymore on matter but expect Xia to pull out a decent new manager!
