Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[AV5nobs]

This is hard work.

I've clearly stated a current employed manager in the top two leagues isn't going to join us, I would personally take Dean Smith as the most likely option if I am wrong.

Now say that back to me so I know you understand.

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?

I don't think he's been entirely proven incorrect.  Whether they talked to us last season or not they didn't come and I don't think Dyche or Wagner would contemplate us now.  We are a slightly different prospect now with another year of failure under our belt and another experienced manager having failed.  I also think 3 months into the season is a slightly easier time to get your head round jumping ship than two weeks.

We may get someone like Dean Smith, but personally I'd be very surprised if we could attract anyone from the PL or the more high profile managers in the Championship right now.

You've moved the goalposts.

Thought you might.

Care to explain why we talked to Dyche and Wagner last season, if talking to a manager in employment is so difficult?

All we did is "talk" if we are to believe you and The Sun.

Did they arrive, no.

Talking is bullshit, we could phone Pep and have a chat but he would tell us to do one.

I don't think the right manager would need to buy many more players, indeed maybe any. I think this squad is good enough for a manager with the right ethos to get something out of.

I don't and I think a lot of people are fooled into believing this.
There is no semblance of an effective midfield and only one player that scores goals regularly.
The defense seems to have got worse and older.
It's the god awful signings that have done for Bruce as much as his very limited tactical ability.

We all understand, understand very well.

He probably wouldn't enter complex contract negotiations though, because he wouldn't be interested in giving up his current job to manage Villa. Unlike Dyche and Wagner, who both did and were.

I think it's impossible to tell while we have a guy whose tactics consist largely of bypassing the midfield by lumping the ball forward to a 5'9'' striker. You may well be right, but I don't think it's fair to say that yet.

Did they join us, no.

End of point.

Not really, your point is that no manager in the top two divisions would consider joining us. Two managers did.

Your "point", as usual, was shite.

Still, it's what we've come to expect from someone who still thought Steve Bruce would be the new Ron Saunders as recently as a week ago.

[Tuscans]

You are who you sign and to this day our best players who resemble anything like decent footballers are Kodjia and Chester...both Di Matteos signings.

You've lost the plot.

It's not complicated, AVNob. If someone would consider joining us, obviously we could appoint someone. Otherwise why would they consider it?
