Next manager?

[Damo70]

Jose might be available soon. It is just a shame that Villa Park is such an unlucky ground for him.

I wouldn't want that saturnine twat anywhere near Villa Park. And I don't care how successful he has been. Cnut.

Spot on. Bloated rugby ball head is doing sterling work at Red Shite. He'd make O'Dreary seem palatable.

Julian Nagelsmann the current Hoffenheim manager is the kind of appointment we should be looking to make. Unfortunately he is leaving Hoffenheim at the end of the season and has already signed a 4 year deal with RB Leipzig.

Right back Leipzig ?
Sounds the ideal club for Bruce.

Bruce looking on borrowed time then this afters.

If he does go will NSWE want a ‘name’ for manager? Interesting just reading Henry to manage Bordeaux broke down due to his ‘excessive wage demands’ apparently. Surely that won’t be an issue for the new owners.

I’m still undecided about who I think we should appoint but surely anyone would recognise the deficiencies in defence unlike the current management team who include two that played at centre half.

If Bruce goes we need someone to come in and conjure up a defence from somewhere - are there 3 or four competent out of contract defenders out there?

Dean Smith isn't an exotic name, but he's perfect for turning this group of players into a team that plays a style of football.

A style of football, something we haven't had for a long, long time.

He might be settled and doing well at Brentford, but I'm sure he wouldn't be able to resist. He might not get another chance.

Thing is we have the players to play in the right positions.

John Terry as player manager. I’m not saying it should happen but I wouldn’t be surprised if it did. Especially with the new CEO bring formally at Chelsea.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I've read that our new CEO is a fan of Jurgen Klinsmann.

From Wiki: Bayern team captain Phillip Lahm wrote in his autobiography that Klinsmann's tenure with the club was a "failure" and that Klinsmann's lack of tactical instruction required the players to meet before kickoff to discuss strategy.

[Villafirst]

Dean Smith - we need you!

[Damo70]

We need someone the fans would take to immediately. Like Harry Redknapp or Ian Holloway.

On a more serious note, if we do remove Bruce would it be worth giving Brian Little another shot at the job?

Not in a million years.

[aj2k77]

No, he hasn't managed anyone of any note for nearly 2 decades has he? Lovely bloke, top Villa man and manager but his time and work is done.
