Next manager?

[Damo70]

Benitez - he's as negative as Bruce.

Brendan could be a shout. We are already have a better squad and potentially more money to spend. He's had his time in Scotland, completed it and now has his rep back. I'm sure he'd prefer a prem job though but if you don't ask.....

Smith is becoming the obvious choice mind.

Brendan Rodgers would fit the bill. He got Swansea up and then kept them up quite comfortably all whilst playing decent football. At a bigger club like Villa you could reasonably expect him to repeat that and then take the next step of really establishing the club back in the top flight.

Going to be Henry.

Rodgers would be the best manager in the league by some way, as Benitez was when he took the barcodes up.

[Des Little]

Going to be Henry.

Yep, think you’re right. Terry on the staff too?

Stop it, you're turning me on.

[Des Little]

Oh behave!

[Matt Collins]

I'm not sure about Rodgers. I'm not sure he'd come to the championship and I'm still not sure how good he is. But I agree he's much better than Bruce

I'm not sure about Henry being likely. Even if that was an original thought there was quite a lot of press scepticism about this

Money speaks all languages.

I think Chris wilder has done a great job and I really like the way Sheffield United play

But I don't want to play 352 and I'm not sure if he's a devotee

[chrisw1]

I think Rodgers may consider it in close season if he was offered a huge deal.  I would really be surprised if he would jump ship mid season for a club like ours.  I also don't think it's a given that the likes of Wilder & Smith would move mid season.

Can we afford to pay big compensation and wages when we're clearly walking an FFP tightrope, particularly after paying Bruce off?

I think the big move for the future manager will come when we get promoted - the lure of Premiership and a shed load of transfer Wonga would entice many, especially as we are seen as a project club with huge history and potential

So even though I cannot stand the bloke I would offer Alladyce a deal with a huge bonus to get us up - THIS YEAR

No deserving a chance if he does achieve it - a simple one season deal - shit or bust

As much as he is also considered a dinosaur he still uses a lot of modern practices to get the best out of each player - whether that be diet, training or statistics.

In a 2 horse race the FA unanimously chose him over fist face - make of that as you will but he must have got over his football philosophy more than SB did or could.

I think he has a big enough ego to do it

Oh God...I think I am gonna agree Sam, he would offer a great chance to us even though his football is as bad as Bruce's.
There must be somebody else...please!

Mcliesh, Lambert, Bruce and then Allardyce

are you trying to go for a full house of British shitness

[pauliewalnuts]

I am not sure about wanting Rodgers.

He's a great songwriter but I always thought it was Bernard Edwards' bass lines which made Chic so great.
