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 outBielsa, Mancini, Girard.

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

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 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.
