Next Villa manager

[Chico Hamilton III]

My brother's just nailed it.  Go to Warnock and offer him £2M to get us into the play offs - £5M if he gets us up, by whatever means.  People hate the bloke, but he gets results and won't stand for shit.  We need strong minds.

I said similar on here on Saturday. Hold our noses and pay some old-school growler to get us outta here at the first attempt

Glen Hoddle never seems to appear on these prospective lists - he would certainly be someone who would be a perfect candidate to me.

Is that really a any more likely to succeed?

Of the top say, eight in the Championship at the moment how many are managed by a "old-school growler"?

[Monty]

Neil Warnock. Neil fucking Warnock.

No.

[Toronto Villa]

I disagree with any notion that this was panic. When you are provided the resources that RDM was provided expectation comes with it. While it was reasonable to assume some transition time and patience what we witnessed in the end was just terrible. The club want promotion his season. Xia didn't buy us and invest what he has to piss around in the championship for another year. So this decision going into the break makes absolute sense.

[KevinGage]

Warnock has -on the whole- dealt with plodders and journeymen pros and had enough leverage over them as the biggest ego in the room to get something out of them and make them (briefly) punch above their weight.

If you think the likes of Ayew, Amavi, McCormack and Grealish et.c would be impressed by bibs and cones or cowed by his faux temper tantrums, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

[AVH87]

I think Warnock is one of the best candidates available for the job, better than gambling on someone like Lee Johnson or Wagner on the basis of them having 11 good games this season, both their sides finished in the bottom 8 last season.

Well, we've done the young and hungry, the French tactician, the brash English southerner, the dour Scot, the Italian odd-ball and a handful of rubbish caretakers. I'd go for a non-nonsense, no excuses, belt and braces lunatic to frighten the squad back up the table.

Assuming that Laurent Blanc and Pep Guardiola aren't intereste 

[Smirker]

I can't remember who the player was but some time ago I was listening to TalkSport and they had one of Warnock's ex players on. He was saying how he's by far the best man manager he's ever played for and would get the best out of his team. Needed decent coaches alongside him however.

Not sure who I'd go for. Just hope we make the right choice. Utv.

You're right, between Remi Garde and Pep Guardiola there's absolutely nothing available, so let's hire NEIL WARNOCK. Because he'll be sarcastic to Ayew or something.

Feel free to suggest your chosen manager, it's a discussion forum

[Stirchley Villain]

Bruce for me. Warnock a no no and we can't afford to take a risk on an up an coming who would entertain the idea at the moment.

[cdbearsfan]

Neil Warnock. Neil fucking Warnock.

No.

Promotion expert Neil fucking Warnock?

Yes.

Well, literally anyone else who has been suggested would be better. Steve Bruce would be better. Sam Allardyce would be better. Anyone would be better.

It's all about opinions, but I consider him almost the worst person we could appoint. His teams aren't renowned for fight and tenacity, which are the virtues we most lack, he's been out of management for a decade or so, and he's a vile bigot to boot.
