Next Villa manager

[Malandro]

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

Please no Bruce.

So who is a better choice at the present time?

I'd honestly prefer Lambert.

[VinnieChase84]

I genuinely think given where we are at right now as a club, Bruce would be a great choice and the man for the job. Takes no prisoners, stable and knows how to get results. For me, results are all that matters right now.

[QuintonVilla]

If it's Steve Clarke I'm going down the Walsall.

Certainly can't agree with that. Personally I would take a punt with Dean Smith, but that is all it would be and we have done a bit of that recently with nil success.

Sorry that was autocorrect, I meant Bono

[sickbeggar]

nah, i'm fed up of giving a managers a chance and not meaning it. TSM/Lambert/Sherwood/Garde all were obviously bobbins before someone broke cover and pointed out the obvious. If Bruce arrives, i'll be anti from day 1 unless he storms the league. Better to have the disgruntled Bruce masses say stuff like "you're glad he failed" then limply put up with a nan's haired hoof merchant and watch us fall further into oblivion

nobody hates the noses as much as me, the fucking retarded weasels, but I love Aston Villa and I want us to be back in the premiership

I know there are decent managers out there and to that score I would add Pulis, I actually think olbion fans are deluded as for the money , pulis is doing a great job. we need to to get out of this dog fight of a league before we become the damned

so lets drop this he's been associated with the knuckle draggers and realise that Steve Bruce is exactly right for us , right now.

Next time you're composing one of your love letters to dour managers of lesser clubs, can you try and do it without using words like "retarded" ?

[Dazvillain]

Who did Bruce have as his back room team at previous couple of jobs ? Do u think CLARKE wud stay as no 2?

[pauliewalnuts]

It's miles easier to type "wud" than "would", I think we'll all agree.

[steamer]

When the fat fuck was jumping up and down waving his arms as manager of the noses, who looked at him and said, I can not wait for the days he sits in our dugout.
how low our standards and ambitions have dropped

But that doesn't answer either of my questions

I'm surprised the shortlist has shortened to two so quickly, but entirely possible if the quoted source is correct. Either of the (presumed) two can do a job, and in the case of SC is a cheaper option. (less musical chairs and therefore cost around back room staff). Indeed if SC didn't like who he is asked to work for as a #2, and he has a good clause in his own contract could be another pay off to cover? Point is it is more than just finding one individual. For that reason I'd say SC in box seat if he can get 8pts from 12 after the internationals, and with finance casting a shadow over it even a well off owner would give it a go.

Think I agree with another poster that need to redefine and re-set our plan, bed in the considerable influx of new players we brought in. to get the max out of each up to the limit of what they can do. Interesting article in Telegraph yesterday about how Walcott re-invented himself for example. (Hope Gabby doesn't read it).

On the subject of Huddersfield, I have ended up living nr there through career path, and they shouldn't be dissed as a lucky, crap outfit. They have a great commercial plan they have implemented, sold 15000 season tickets at £180 each , that about £8/game and the place is nearly full every 2 weeks. (capacity c 25000) They fill the spaces against lesser sides (QPR the last I recall with £5 tickets on general sale). They spent the square root of FA on transfers too. Wagner is loyal to his chairman it seems and don't expect he was ever going to move until he'd seen their plan working or not.

I know. I didn't register the questions as my eyes were bleeding having seen "wud".

He certainly had Bertschin at Hull and I would not want him at our club tbh, think Stephen Clemence may have been involved as well. He had Nigel Spink as goalkeeping coach at Blues I think
