Wenger/Henry would fit that remit as well.

As a leftfield choice I think Paul Ince has unfinished business in football management & would be a great appointment.

Hi Paul. 👋

In fairness, Paul Ince as Villa manager isn't the worst idea ever.





















It's second worst behind whoever thought that McLeish was a good idea.

I am sure I read Terry about to take U23 team at Chelsea which to be honest would be ideal for him.

Yeah similar path to the one Gerrard took, get experience leading and managing a team where results aren't everything and after 12-18 months start to look for a senior team.

Can't count the amount of posts advocating Terry or Henry but when Mellberg is suggested it's shouted down as he's not got the experience or that he is only a suggestion because of his previous Villa links. This guy has taken a team on two consecutive promotions whilst Henry has been an international coach at one tournament and Terry hasn't any experience in management at all.

Concerning that one of the names linked with the sporting director post left Valencia because, according to a club source, he bought a load of fucking shit players. Brilliant. Only Villa.

Perhaps the challenge now obvious to everybody in football is that the man that can come to Villa, get them promoted, bring them back to greatness will be nothing short of being a god, Pep were are you.....you can but dream.

If JT can't come or not experienced then I think Japp Stam would be the best solution. .

He plays a possession game .
Big name
Knows the league
Has a pedigree with Ajax as a coach
And did a successful and unbelievable  season with Reading in his first seaosn as a manager
Play off loss on pens

For me he's available and happily take him over Bruce .


And to add that the second seaosn was a struggle but that can happen especially as not so experienced.

However Stam would have this squad playing a lively brand of football and would utilise the talents of the attacking players in an effective way and sort out the defence .

He's a good option in my eyes

ftp://
Modern progressive coach
+
Big club experience preferably as manager
+
Prepared to come to second tier club

I reckon if you applied that filter you'd have a pretty small field. I can't immediately think of a single candidate tbh

Japp Stam ticks boxes .
What do you think ?
