Manager suggestions - Now with added poll

Terry would be better than Bruce

Why would Terry be better than Bruce ?

I have reset the poll, replaced those recently employed as they are not options, and put in some of those now out of work.

Terry / Shakespear double team

Should we wait till the end of the Euros when Gareth Southgate is out of work?

This poll needs to be properly reset really. I mean who the hell thinks fastsam is going to come to us currently?!

fatsam is a non-starter but flotsam and jetsam are worth a flutter ffs.

I wouldn't mind Nigel Pearson or Dean Smith, but if we go British I would prefer Rowett. If we go foreign I wouldn't mind Prandelli or Tuchel but would prefer Sanchez Flores.

Final answer Chris......Sanchez Flores.

Because he’s not Steve Bruce

[Toronto Villa]

I voted Koeman because he’s out of work and has built a team in the past. Did a great job at Southampton and hasn’t become a bad manager all of a sudden. I don’t see Bielsa at this stage of his life /career as what we need right now. Rodgers isn’t leaving Celtic where it’s not even a challenge and they love him. Dyche maybe but he won’t leave now for sure. And forget Paul Clement. He gets fired all the time as manager.

World Cup innit?

No to Dean Smith. Being able to beat Villa isn't any sort of recommendation. McLeish, Lambert, Sherwood, Di Matteo and Bruce all managed that (probably, can't be arsed to check).

[Simon Page]

My old man used to complain that the Villa of his youth (either side of WW2) had a habit of buying players who did well against us, not realising that if they were playing for us they didn't have the freedom afforded to the opposition. I have a horrible feeling we are showing the same signs with the calls for Dean Smith. He might be a manager who would improve anyone he went to, but he might also be looking good to us twice a season. Still, whoever our next boss is he will be the best in the world.

Until he isn't.

Oops. We definitely won't have to wait another two and a half years for him to be available.

Gone for Terry til the end of the season. Nothing to lose really. Hopefully he'd improve the standard of football by playing the sort of tactics he's used to and likes. Also i'd hope he'd use his connections to get a bit of quality on loan from Conte. We may even go on a winning run and surprise everyone. Re-assess in the summer and go from there.

Out of interest, why is Gary Rowett not on the list?
