Next Villa manager

[not3bad]

Steve Cotterill would be even more mental than Alex Mcleish.

I've never really had a problem with Bruce during his managerial years,

and that despite the fact that he is shit...you are very kind indeed.

Doesnt Bruce have a record of walking away when things get tough or am I dreaming that?

A quick browse through his Wikipedia managerial career seems to confirm this, certainly early on. You could argue however that he was only trying to further his career by moving on to bigger better things such as when he left Blues to join Wigan. The Wikipedia page also led me here which doesn't bode particularly well for a future with Villa either.

Sky saying we're interviewing Steve Cotterill 🙈🙈

A dream team of Cotterill and Holloway. Let's have a Gloucestershire takeover

i think the  thing  is with  Bruce is this  would be his  biggest  job. He has a good  record  of promotion  on limited  resources . I think that affects  the style  of play. If he had been able  to go and buy more  quality , perhaps the playing style  would be different . If he does come, this  would  probably  be the first time  he has an  expensive  squad

Steve Cotterill, fucking hell. That can't be serious.

I don't think he's altogether 'shit'. He's done well for certain clubs for a period before an eventual downturn in results - which has, of course,  ended in the inevitable P45(s) being handed to him. He's got a decent record of getting teams into the Premiershite too (4 promotions no less), so I can see why he would appeal to our suits. They could do a lot worse than give him the gig IMO.

Steve Cotterill is not a serious rumour, Dr Tone wouldnt be stupid enough to install a lower league manager, he'd lose the support almost overnight.

Was just coming round to the fact that it could be someone like Warnock or McCarthy, as they have very decent CVs at this level, and then you read that Steve Cotterill is to be interviewed

Cardiff have just sacked their manager after 2 wins in 11 games.
Neil Warnock is favourite for the job.

Of course Bruce would jump at the job, is as reported he still lives locally it is a no brainer for him.

Bruce lives Dorridge / Lapworth way. I've seen him shopping in Knowle a couple of times including last year in Tesco when as he passed me and we made eye contact, I did that nod and smile thing you do when you see someone you recognise, before you realise who it is.

He smiled back, just as I clocked the Hull City polo shirt and realised "Fuck me, it's potato head!"

That John Sitton bloke might put the cat amongst the pigeons. I'd sooner him than Cotterill anyway.

General Krulak had a similar outlook when we brought in TSM. "Imagine what this trophy winning manager can do with our resources!" And to be fair, he took them down on 39 points and kept us up with 38.

2 wins in 11? Lucky bastards.

i know  what you mean, but this  time he would  have one  of the  most  expensive  squads  in  the  division
