Next Villa manager

[Chris Jameson]

If it's Steve Clarke I think we can give up on the idea of being one of the top five teams in Europe in five years time.

[Toronto Villa]

We shall see won't we. I think Bruce is a better bet to get us up than Clarke though. 

Agree. Between the two Bruce is the more accomplished this level.

[claret and blue blood]

Straight choice between Bruce and Clarke then it's Bruce all the way for me, Clarke is this season's Eric Black I do not want another dour Scotsman depressing the shit out of me.
I've been saying to my son for weeks that Clarke looks uninspiring to say the least whilst warming up the players before games, why can't we find a progressive , intelligent and motivating manager that shakes this ailing club out of this awful era?

[VinnieChase84]

I'd be livid if Clarke gets the job

[aj2k77]

I'm just surprised Clarke left the comfort of the subs bench to apply for the job.

[steamer]

Why only these two ?
A fucking Hobsons choice if I ever saw one.
Where is this esteemed team of of advisors and elders we are supposed to have in place ?
Lets think, an out of work cardiac arrest about to happen that has had more jobs than Yosser or the innate running mate of the Muppet we have just fired.
My god we have really set high standards and cast our nets wide.

If that's true then a shortlist of 2 where we end up with Bruce over Clarke is so much worse than one where we end up with Bruce over (e.g.) Wagner.

A fucking Hobsons choice if I ever saw one.

Uh oh.

[sickbeggar]

Pretty bad choice if that's who they've narrowed it down to. But clarke for me, knows the players, and while they haven't adapted to the system yet, it would take a fair while to get into Bruce's hoofball. Still think we were about a month away from RDM's team coming relatively good.

[villan from luton]

I think Bruce is probably the best choice in the short term, but doesn't inspire me at all. My other concern about him is what happens if Southgate don't do well in the next four games and England come calling, we will be in the same position again. On the plus side, if this happens at least it will mean that Villa aint 19th in the championship. I liked the thought of Dean Smith managing tbh

[sickbeggar]

Bruce  is a nothing manager. Not for me Bill.

[mike]

The agony of choice.

[TheMalandro]

There must be a better choice. Bono? Eamonn Holmes?

Please no Bruce.

[QuintonVilla]

Bruce will seem like Guardiola if the alternative is Steve Clarke.

[villan from luton]

There must be a better choice. Bono? Eamonn Holmes?

Please no Bruce.

So who is a better choice at the present time?
