Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

[ciggiesnbeer]

Can we have a who we absolutely don't want poll?
Moyes.

Schteve Mclaren would get my vote for who I would like least to be our next manager. Possibly The worst manager in the history of the universe.

I would like to add criteria that automatically preclude a candidate.

"Safe pair of hands"
"Proven at this level"
"No nonsense/old school"
"Villa is by far the biggest club he has managed"
"Knows how English football works"

Also, "still lives in the area"

Left field suggestion would be someone like Michael Laudrup.

Has experience of the English game and did fine at Swansea although his agent behind the scene was causing issues with their board so that played a bit part in him leaving when he did.

There are very few British or Irish coaches I would welcome, due to the fact most of them are either very unproven or are "proper football men" dinosaurs with little clue about modern tactics  and game management.   Sean Dyche ? signed Driftwood for £5m, nuff said, clearly clueless. Exceptions for me are Eddie Howe, and maybe Chris Hughton.  Otherwise  I'd always prefer someone who has shown some pedigree in the more tactically based Spanish or Italian leagues.

Had forgotten about Howe. I'd like him, please.

Chris Hughton is exactly like Steve Bruce in the premier league.

Good in the championship and a very nice man of course.

Decent bit on Talksport earlier about a Simon Grayson.  Obviously not available now, but one who's name has come up at times in the past.  They were saying what a good fit they think he will be for Sunderland after doing a decent job at Preston.

They said the same about Bruce here though.

With Round and Wyness you know it will be Moyes.

It's Dean Smith for me. I think he would have us playing football again and I would like us to be the 1st club that he has managed to promotion. I am fed up with so-called managers with "proven track records at this level"

[brontebilly]

Pep Clotet,the Spaniard in charge of Oxford,who worked with Garry Monk at Swansea ,or Uwe Rosler,now in charge of Fleetwood ,who adopts a pressing game similar to Klopp's.
Either would be gettable and a big upgrade on Bruce if the Fulham boss was unavailable.
Yes,they are from lower divisions but they have both had experience of the top division in England.Rosler as a player at Man City.

I'm not sure our players are suited to a pressing game. Hogan, Lansbury, Whelan, Jedinak, Terry are all very slow.

The replacement options being suggested are very underwhelming. I'd be tempted to give Bruce a bit more time to be honest if the alternative is Alan Pardew.

Karanka for me, if we're just sticking to lads who aren't in a job currently.

[Richard]

Karanka would have been a good option in the poll 😯
