Next Villa manager

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

But that doesn't answer either of my questions

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

You'd have been better off not posting then ?

How about you post in English in the first place?

I'm awaiting my invite to stand outside the headmaster's office (lol)

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.

Good comments re Huddersfield and shame other clubs don't show the same foresight. The manager seems a class act and good luck to them.

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

Why am I being singled out when the above statement is not grammatically correct and yet there is no comment .... This is turning into bullying and harassment in the workplace. That's how STEVE Bruce may feel after losing a few games like mcleish did

[sickbeggar]

Relax Daz. Some of us are old and angry and we react badly to this text speak.(I bet you have one of those mobile phones too)

[VinnieChase84]

Press starting to report its bewteeen Bruce and Clarke now......

[villan from luton]

I did respond to you Daz and understood what you meant. I wouldn't want Clarke as number 2 tbh

[aj2k77]

What on Earth makes them consider Clarke? He's been a direct part of the shit formations, shit substitutions and shit preparation.

[PeterWithesShin]

Clarke has certainly been number two so far.

And am posting off it now. Thanks for your comment, genuinely. I'm all about consitency and fairness . Moaning and sarcastically posting about my gramatics but not about the last post in another thread this evening (#bants) posted by someone else or even the poor gramatics of done thread titles doesn't seem fair game really . Point made. Back to thread topic... We are not going to ever get another O'neil , cash injection or contracts of the start of Lerner era so it's pretty academic who becomes next boss. We just have to belt in and try to enjoy the ride or get off at the next stop pronto. Simply a matter of choices

[sickbeggar]

*sigh*. they got 11 games. Who turns round 5 years of total shite in 11 games?

[TonyD]

If it has been boiled down to Bruce or Clarke then there has to serious questions about the judgment of our new owner.  That would be two poor appointments in quick succession.

I actually don't think he was . They had both previously had same posts in some similar /same clubs but never worked together . He RARELY , as Kevin Bond  didn't either , left his seat during a game which I found interesting and frustrating

[villan from luton]

How would Bruce be a poor appointment, except for his past links?
