Next Villa manager

[sickbeggar]

I can't imagine anyone here likes dodgy 'Arry at all, but he'd put the fear of god into that side. Needs must.

Harry redknapp said
on talksport tonight that he'd do the job for nothing.he said he'd get us into the playoffs and then they could pay him .thoughts

That we should pay a salary to a good manager.

Not hire a washed-up has-been just because we wouldn't have to pay him.

[supertom]

All I'll say as far as Sherwood goes is, I think he'd have done marginally better than Garde and Black did in the remainder of the season. Marginally...And even he couldn't have done quite as badly as RDM has thus far. Could he??

Not with a barge pole mind you.

[Axl Rose]

Can we just fucking employ someone from abroad. With talent. Who is as heavy a hitter as the salary we will pay dictates?

Fucking Bruce and Warnock and Smith and Rowett and whoever the fuck else (and if you are leaning in Sherwood's direction you should be fucking sectioned). Why the actual fuck would we want to put up with any of these?

2-4 million quid a year gets you Bielsa. It gets you Klinsmann. It gets you Van Gaal. It gets you Mancini. It gets you Rangnick. Or, forget it. I think that is my point.

We need someone that the dressing room looks at and says "shit, now he has pedigree". And Tone has the cash to make that a reality.

Punch our mother fucking weight for once and bring in an arrogant bastard who turns up his nose at our league position and this league.

"This league is shit and you shouldn't be in it. I will ensure you won't be for long".

You know, mate?
You're dead right.
Come on Uncle Tony, bring someone in who'll frighten the league to death!!

If it's a choice between the old managers I have spent the last years deriding and someone with real Cajunos from abroad, give me the latter, please.

Guys talking sense. I like it. Do it Tone!

[supertom]

How about Benitez? Wave a huge wedge of cash at him, that makes his Newcastle packet look like peanuts and see if he bites. I'd do it just to wind the fuckers up.

[Risso]

Think I'd rather see Ashley Westwood on a 10 year player/manager contract than have either Sherwood or Redknapp anywhere near the club.

[Brown, Arce, Hole]

I'm reliably informed that Burnley manager Sean Dyche applied for the Villa job but lost out to Remi Garde! If he's still interested I'd go for him. I was also told that big Sam applied for the job but it didn't go any further because Tom Fox would not agree to him having the control he wanted.     

[CT]

Just watching Ian Holloway on the telly and thought......can you just imagine?!!

I'd offer to be an interpreter for all his media interviews anyway.

[Dave]

I can't imagine anyone here likes dodgy 'Arry at all, but he'd put the fear of god into that side. Needs must.

Wouldn't having somebody motivating them to play better give us a happier end result?

[exiled on the wirral!]

I don't see anything twattish in it, Giggs is a good choice because he played for Fergie but that doesn't apply to Bruce, what makes the difference?  Giggs would be a massive gamble made for the wrong reason.

We need someone with experience who has a defined style of play that they trust and who is arrogant enough to know it's going to work even if it doesn't look like it is doing.

I can't give any examples because the "defined style of play" is the most important factor.  Once we know what we want to be then we can look at managers to fill our needs.  As an alternative I'd be tempted to try something ridiculous and totally out of our market by picking up someone who has been there and done it but either isn't working or is in a retirement job in China/USA.  Someone like Bielsa for example.  I know it's unlikely they'd join us but if Xia is as big a deal as we want him to be then maybe it's not quite so outlandish.

Im aware Steve Bruce played for United under Ferguson...my point was that Giggs spent 25 years winning every trophy going under the most successful manager ever..he might of picked up a thing or too along the way.

Think I'd rather see Ashley Westwood on a 10 year player/manager contract than have either Sherwood or Redknapp anywhere near the club.

 Redknapp would consign Westwood to the bin straight away. He's an unpleasant nasty git which is probably what we need.

[aev]

Harry Redknapp on Talksport said Sherwood shouldn't have been sacked. Then said he himself would take the job for free until the end of the season, we would only have to pay him if we got into the play offs.

Lunatic.

I'd rather be managerless than have any of these twats linked. Redknapp? Fuck off you crooked melted criminal. Giggs? Vomit inducing.

I'd rather have Roger Milla, Prince Charles and an ant in charge.

What type of ant?

[sickbeggar]

I can't imagine anyone here likes dodgy 'Arry at all, but he'd put the fear of god into that side. Needs must.

Wouldn't having somebody motivating them to play better give us a happier end result?

We've had nice managers, they haven't worked. Last one who actually looked liked you wouldn't cross him was Houllier. MON was also an unpleasant nasty git but he knew tactics and motivation. So does Redknapp

Yep a has been and a never was and they're both idiots.

[Tony Erdington]

I know lerner, well Faulkner knew FA and appointed on the basis of who would say yes ill cut the budget.

Time to appoint on the basis of who will get us up.

for me its Steve Bruce.
