Next manager?

[ExclDawg]

Should we be adding a poll to the thread?

[PeterWithesShin]

Sensible poll added.

[PeterWithesShin]

If anyone wants to come up with a list of names then we can do a proper poll. Ideally not 20 different names.

[Hookeysmith]

Just about to write the same thing with all the possible runners and riders

It's also a question of whether it's worded "who do you want to be next Villa manager" or "who do think will be etc".

[PeterWithesShin]

7-1! Now Fat Sam knows how Wimbledon felt.

Ah. Can I be clear that my list including McCarthy, Pardew, Moyes and Allardyce was very much a suggested list for the latter question.

[ExclDawg]

Put the "Who do you think" on the Bruce thread.

[cdbearsfan]

I would like to be able to choose who it should be, who we think it will be, who we think Footyskillz will think it should be and which is the best looking candidate, please.

Just narrow it down to sixty or so choices to make the voting more streamlined.

Mick McCarthy "would welcome the chance to talk to Aston Villa" I bet he would!?

He got Millwall to the play offs, Sunderland to the play offs and then won the title with them the following season, then got Wolves to the play offs and then promotion two years later. He also got Ipswich into the play offs. Let us hope that the fact he is another Bruce overrides his fairly impressive Championship CV. Let us also hope that his involvement in two relegations with Sunderland and one with Wolves also helps to rule him out.

[PeterWithesShin]

That's why I thought i'd ask which would be better as it could be 2 very different answers.

[ChicagoLion]

Has to be who you want.
Obviously Steve Bruce and Paul Lambert combo.
Well be there or we go thereabouts again.
