Next Villa manager

[PaulWinch again]

Wagner may well turn out to be the next Juergen Klopp but I'd wager all those desperate for him now wouldn't have been able to name the Huddersfield manager until very recently.

Agree completely and also it's kind of irrelevant given that Huddersfield have been very clear on this issue.

I wouldn't of had a clue. Saying that I'd never heard of most of our signings. Outside the realms of Villa Park my knowledge is very limited, probably less than our previous owner.

I'm compartmentalizing my expectations right now. I'll worry about style after we start winning games because I've almost forgotten what that feels like.

Style *helps* to win games though. That's my point.

Mr Wagner shares your point, Monty. He for some strange reason believes that the better you play, the more chance you have of winning a game.

You seen them much? Only time I've seen them is against us and for an hour it was like watching Lambert's Villa only worse.

They were truly shocking and very lucky against us.  How many chances did we have?

looking at the % at the top of the thread, I am encouraged that us villa fans in the main are positive about BFS (not so fat now though with seeing him Saturday on the tv) and therefore we are intelligent enough to know that with the high profile games weve got this month "if" things don't go "our" way we are not going to start with the shit that some on here seem to be salivating for. UTV

They're not positive though are they? They just prefer Bruce to Clarke which is saying very little. I don't want Clarke but i still voted for him over Bruce.

We missed at least four sitters in the first half.

One of those games where you hear people say we should have been 5 up and they're actually not exaggerating.

Good old pass it square from a goal kick had me chuckling at the ghost of Lambert.

Yes, but what were Huddersfield like?

Not enough. Considering we spent near 15 times more than them this summer, I'd say a draw at Villa Park wasn't a disaster.

I think the kind of full and frank debate about the merits of potential managers does, ultimately effect the choice. It may be like the Two Ronnie's sketch where the answer is to the next but one question but we are the paying customers, our views matter.  I agree wholeheartedly with Paulie that all the shit started when Lerner was determined to have McLeish because he totally misread the warnings of the fans as revulsion for a Small Heath manager when, if he had had a gnat's weight of football nous he would have known it was because he was a crap manager.

[Ian.]

If only we'd buried all those chances we had in the opening 6 matches, it would have eased the pressure on our back four during those final minutes in every game and we'd be flying high.

RDM would be the Wagner of this league. There's such a fine line between failure and success.

It was enough to win three games of football. It's in excusable the level of profligacy we've seen. Ayew's sitter just on half time in particular was maddening.

How about ”We're going to smash this league”?
