Just about any decent manager is going to expect a few quid to play with.

Moyes seems to be a busted flush.  I don't like Alardyce and never wanted to see him as Villa manager, but he is tactically astute and I think he would probably do a decent job.

I think that we now can acknowledge that "knowing the championship" is just as a good qualification as not knowing the championship - they all give us f... all

What we need is someone who can make some players play football - not some trickery of the championship. The level of football is much closer to the EPL than it is different. The biggest difference is the frequency of the games.

Get a manager that can get them to play FOOTBALL - passing, attacking, defending. Hoffenheim have a 30 year old that ended in 4th in Germany and play great football. He could speak chinese, portuguese or whatever, as long as he also speaks English.

For every Wagner or Jokanovic, there are the likes of Solbakken, Zenga and Pepe Mel though.  It is a risk, but I think we're fast approaching the place where any option we have got left is going to be a risk.

If anyone at the club had any knowledge of world football then there has to be another Wenger managing in the likes of Japan, Pochettino at Espanyol or a Ralph Hasenhüttl at RB Leipzig that we can convince this is the place to be.

Are you capable of responding in a non-confrontational manner?

Why would having two weeks left of the transfer window prevent us signing players?

Roy Keane joined Sunderland on 28th August, in similar circumstances to the ones in which we find ourselves, and signed five players.

They won the league.

And who were those players and how much was spent on them during those three hectic days?

I don't care. You suggested that we couldn't sign anyone, you've been proven to be talking rubbish. As usual.

Now settle.

If you don't care why google or not utilise your profound knowledge.

Because I couldn't be arsed. I've already proven you incorrect.

Now care to explain again why we couldn't possibly appoint anyone employed in the top two divisions, but we should go for Dean Smith?

Moyes seems to be a busted flush.  I don't like Alardyce and never wanted to see him as Villa manager, but he is tactically astute and I think he would probably do a decent job.

Allardyce could probably still get a gig in the Premier League I would have thought so he might be holding out to see what comes up in a couple of months.  I think Moyes, Pardew and Pearson have burnt their bridges at that level and will be looking at their next job being Championship level.

Allardyce retired from club football.
