Next Villa manager

[cdbearsfan]

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.

You'd be regretting his appointment by the 92,647th time you had to correct someone who called him "Houghton".

[Chico Hamilton III]

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??

The bit where he said that disabled people were paying the price for bad things they must have done in a previous life.
And Diamond Lights

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.

After MacLeish I'm surprised Bruce has so many votes in poll but get his big club mentality from playing days and could probably give out some shit in dressing room as opposed to RDM who seemed to placid for that.
Is Harry's right hand man Kevin bond still here too, if so there's a link. If Clarke gets appointed who was his previous back room teams ?

Urgh, you're right of course.

Scratch him from the list.

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

I think the baggage is about his views on certain topics rather than poor performances.  I'd struggle to support a team managed by him because I find him a repulsive twat not because of anything he teams have or haven't done.

Can someone remind me what was Harry's last position and what happened there?

His last position was "well there is nothing wrong with having a little flutter on your own team. the lads did it"  and nothing happened as everyone said "well thats Arry for you".

So I think Clark would be fine.

Southgate

[TonyD]

Who ever it ends up being will need to be a magician.

He'll need pull two decent midfielders out of his arse  without blinking. ..

[QuintonVilla]

Whoever it is let's hope they can see what we've seen for the past four years. Ashley Westwood is absolute cock porridge.

[Richard E]

It is going to have to be Dean Smith, on the basis that everyone should then be able to spell his name correctly.

[charleeco7]

If it's Bruce it'd be understandable due to his record. My main worry is the slightest bit of a wobble results wise and he'll get dogs abuse for previously managing them

Dene Smythe.

Kevin Keen. Shite.

I don't see anyone on that list above who will get us up this season.   None of them strike me as having the force of personality that will make someone else's players gell in the next 2 weeks and get promotion - Certainly not Bruce. RDM may have been the wrong person but its probably the most pointless sacking ever if he was binned for failing on that score. yep,lets give someone this season  to get promotion with players he doesn't want or would buy. if there's one thing we've learnt over the last5 years, it's if players like Westwood and Bacuna didn't work with the manager who bought them, then its unlikely they will with someone who's inherited them
