We aren't in the Premier League but there's no reason why we shouldn't consider a manager's performance in that or any other division.

We are not in some mythical magic league where the rules of football don't apply.

A manager who has had a mixed career, including promotions, relegations, good seasons and bad seasons, is less likely to be succesful than a manager who has been succesful for most of his career.

We should be appointing the latter sort.
Any ideas apart from the people who have already ruled themselves out

Bielsa, Mancini, Girard.

Sighs and gives up? Sounds exactly like the process we've used for appointing managers since 2010.

The point he is making is whether you or not being completely realistic for a second those managers should would be attracted to Championship Aston Villa sitting in 19th place? In October with no chance for a couple of months to bring in their own players.

Edit: and my guess is, if someone of their quality had been available and the money being asked for wasn't completely stupid, Xia would have supported Wyness and Round in that decision given how desperate the man is to get us promoted.

Does anyone have a list of our assistant managers since O'Neill left? We've had bloody loads.

Pugh, Pugh, Barney Mcgrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub.
Barney Mcgrew took Camberwick Green down, and he didn't exactly pull up trees at Trumpton or Chigley either.

Yeah, I don't want to fall out with Chris, he's a good lad even though he never ever applauds the opposition at Headingley. 😉

We're not owned by Lerner now. We have to trust Wyness and Round know what they're doing. What other choice do we have?

We have no choice, we aren't a fan-owned club.

However, as the thread is for discussing who the next Villa manager will/should be, that's what I'll continue to do.

And I think appointing a manager with a track record of success is a better idea than appointing one with a mixed record including promotions and relegations.

But didnt you say you'd be happy with Sean Dyche who has a mixed record of promotions and relegations?

By that token he has a track record of success better than anybody else in the division we are in.

The very suggestion is a new low on H&V.

There is a lot of putting the cart 3 miles in front of the horse.  Most qualified manager to get a side out of the championship... Bruce. Worry about the premier league if we get there!

Pep or Klopp then? Seriously, most managers have had success and failure especially if they've been around for a long time. Bruce is the most qualified of available managers for the job in hand.
