Next manager?

[achilles]

Some fan on TalkShite has just said "Big Sam would be ideal"
Obviously in response to them putting his name forward as the 1st option

Till the end of the season wouldn't be the worse option and then re-appraise!

its still worrying though

if there is one thing we have learnt the pundits, managers even ex players and people close to the club talk a different language to that of us fans,
 if that's what they are listening to all the time as its the world they live in the clamour for Sam or Moyes will be deafening from the manager merry go round network and all mates together club

So fat sam is second favorite? He is just another version of Bruce.

Don't worry no big Sam style villa could well  be going down a 'head coach' route and not manager route .

This thread needs to bear that in mind. A head coach rather than manager. So next head coach should be added to title .

Taking someone in who concern is being focused and  involved on the coaching side , all the tactics all the systems and the teams play and coaching sessions.

The direction we re going by moving forward and taking a coach who deals with the football side of things is more progressive and a modern way to Bruce old fashioned ways

The owners are looking at someone in this style and are over seeing a re structure of how the managers and coach is set up.

Moyes would be a bigger disaster than Bruce and I'd only accept Sam after all other options had been exhausted and if he only got a 1 year contract. Also a no to Terry, Henry and Smith due to the lack of managerial- and/or big club- experience.

I'm interested to see what input Mendes has, but I'd quite fancy one of those young and exotic German managers people talk about.

Rodgers, Henry or even Martinez for me. No more hoof football.

[saunders_heroes]

Or Zidane.

[Gary Penrice]

A young & exotic German manager with no managerial or big club experience?

[Iamkmkm]

Zidane would do for me

[Mister E]

I would say that they have a clear plan about replacements; with a quick turnaround on bringing them in. Otherwise, they might well have kept someone like Agnew as interim.
I'm guessing they'll announce tomorrow that the replacements will start work next Monday

[garyshawsknee]

Henry would be exciting and going into the unknown, but very risky right now. Oscar Garcia or Smith for me.

[chrisw1]

I think Allardyce would probably get us up.  But I really hope we go for something different.

[Iamkmkm]

Zidane or Glenn Hoddle
