Somebody I've never heard of would be my choice.
Does Dean Smith actually buy the players at Brentford ?I was under the impression they adopt a different way of working and he just gets on with what he's given.Not a big enough name/presence for me personally, and i do suspect if he had zero Villa connections (however vague) nobody would even mention his name when talk of a new Villa manager being needed came up. I'm surprised we haven't had a clamour for Mellberg as well.Some players can't hack the expectation levels when they join us, they shrink with the weight on their shoulders, and i wouldn't want to destroy his career if he couldn't hack it either. We're almost a poisoned chalice as it clearly takes a certain kind of man to do the job, one with incredibly thick skin and a deaf ear to all the groans. Nobody is going to come in and get 'time' either. So that narrows down the field as far as i can see it.If Bruce goes we need a confident balls out character, who's already done it who isn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers IMHO
I want Juan Carlos Osorio Arbeláez.Loved the story about him living in England and learning about the game here.Liked the football he had his team's playing. I believe he's a free agent after leaving his post as the Mexico manager.

I believe he's a free agent after leaving his post as the Mexico manager.Like this one, totally left field, he would certainly handle the pressure after managing Mexico!
