Next Villa manager

[joe_c]

In the short term, I'd take winning a game, just one.

Yes, I think we should have a manager for one game only, like they have different directors doing one episode every now and again in series such as The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Gomorrah and so on. They could spend time on one opponent only, work out how to beat them, drill our lot at BMH then we would win every game and go up with the trophy.

...and make a programme about it, entitled '24 Bosses' or perhaps 'The Chosen 24'. A manager for each league opponent and a manager for all the cups, a real cup tie specialist.

 Episode 1 - Barry Fry. Episode 2 - Steve Coppell...

We could call them Special Guest Villains.

Maybe have a different guest manager every week like Have I got News for You.

That isn't a very original idea. England are already doing it.

We're some what behind , we've only been doing it by meteorological season ... Different manager every change of season

Just read this headline on the Gurniard website:
"Klopp: the ‘energy giver’ who made Liverpool believe again. The German was appointed a year ago on Saturday and his combination of bear hugs, honesty and discipline has changed the atmosphere at the club"
This is the level of change that is required - we just need to find someone that can provide it.

The Chinese years (Sheng Xiao) work on a cycle of different animals; maybe Dr T is working off a similar principle with new managers every three months.

Graham Taylor - Tiger
David O Leary - Pig
Martin O Neill - Snake
Gerard Houllier - Horse
Alex McLeish - Goat
Paul Lambert - Cock
Tim Sherwood - Monkey
Remi Garde - Rabbit
Roberto Di Matteo - Dog
Steve Bruce - Ox

I agree completely, now try to imagine Bruce coming in and changing the entire culture of the club like that.  That's the point we need someone with that forceful personality and huge self-confidence who can kick the club back on track.

If we're 1-0 up with 10 minutes we should, as a club and fanbase, know that we've got it in the bag, right now we know we'll find a way to fuck it up and that's through all levels of the club, that negative belief undermines everything else.

which man?

I was in there last Saturday during a very wet and windy 15 mile walk, couple of nice pints Purity to keep us going

Like Monty said, we need a man who can administer a syringe of adrenaline direct into the aorta of the club.  I fear we will get a back patter who will tell they all start with a clean slate.

I know you like your cricket Paul and I would liken our approach to that of England's ODI side under Peter Moores.  We'd often make a good start, but then instead of accelerating through the middle overs, we'd go into our shells and then by the close of the innings we would have lost all momentum and would not be able to regain it. 

We've been like that for some time now.  We get the first goal, but instead of then lifting the tempo and finishing teams off, we drop off and lose all momentum in the process.  Teams then get on top of us and it becomes one way traffic as we can't regain any momentum, and a late goal becomes inevitable.

Shearer has said that Bruce has talked to the club.

Personally I don't have a problem with Bruce, he's a good manager. But it's often been said that he can "do a job". I want to see more than that. The state that we are in we need a transformation and I don't think that Bruce and some others that have been mentioned can affect a club as much as managers like Pochettino, Eddie Howe and Klopp have affected their clubs. But as I said, we have to find that person - is he on the list?

Yeah but we haven't had a manager even 'do a job' since MON over 6 years ago.
