So we'll all agreed then? Nasty dodgy 'Arry is the only man unpleasant enough to get something out this team of work-shy softies? Just think who'd he'd bin and added bonus he likes youth players. Him or Bruce? No contest for me,.

There are other managers apart from those two.


And who is your choice dave? Sorry, probably missed it

Of the underwhelming list in the summer I thought Hughton, and this season hasn't done anything to suggest that was a bad idea.

Is Roy hodgson still out off work surely he's better than most suggested on here plus we wouldn't have to pay no compo.

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 sound as mad as tyson fury .................

well to be honest that's one of the least mental options. Too nice though for this squad

As a point of fact Sherwood doesn't have confidence, he has hubris, they're not the same thing.  A confident manager doesn't take credit for signings in the summer and then slag off the transfer policy a couple of months later when he's not getting results.  A confident manager knows what he wants to do and knows it will work, a chancer finds something that works for a few weeks but then abandons it after a few bad results.  The difficulty is that sometimes it can be hard to know which you're getting, I thought RDM was the former but he proved me wrong.

Bruce has played at Man Utd and understands how bigger clubs operate. I think it'd be too risky appointing Wagner. Bruce is the stand out and obvious candidate.

Did someone mention Hoddle?

Hasn't managed for about ten years and was a disaster in that last job at Wolves. Not too mention the baggage

What baggage?? Name any manager who hasn't had a "disaster" along the way. All of the managers mentioned have had them so that shouldn't be a bar to getting Hoddle. The thought of seeing Bruce, Redknapp, Warnock!! Or any of the others at Villa Park makes me want to vomit

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


It could work you know, he and Tone are both Scorpios.

Quite the opposite according to the wife. "They'd kill each other" being one of her reasons why it's a non-starter. Though a Scorpio herself, shes not a fan of Scorpio men. Either too bossy or over cautious, apparently.

Although they have their birthday on consecutive days, Tone was born in the Year of the Dragon while Hoddle is a cock.
