Next manager?

Frank DeBoar anyone?

Does it come with chips?

Fonseca looks a great option but I'm not sure he'd be available right now.

I've gone with Arteta from the list because he has a fantastic reputation.

He does?

He does seem to have gained quite a good reputation as a coach. How accurate or valid that presumption may be is open to discussion. I would also suggest that managing Villa with the pressure of trying to get promotion from the Championship is a step up from being one of three assistant managers to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

You telling porkies?

If we spurn yet another opportunity to drag ourselves into the twenty first century and appoint someone like Moyes or, God forbid, Allardyce then I think I'll get a new hobby.

I guess if they have someone like Fonseca lined-up and therefore more smarts than i gave them credit for, we will know soon enough. If they haven't appointed someone before the millwall game, then we will know it was the gabbage that did it!

Has Dwight Yorke thrown his hat into the ring yet ?

I understand that whenever Dwight Yorke senses the presence of a ring, his first instinct is to throw a form of his, ahem, protective headwear into it.

Says on his wiki that he is the new manager of Aston Villa

Someone's been reading this forum and is on the wind up.

We always do this. We talk between ourselves about who would be ok, good, and great and then appoint someone incredibly dull.

Piffle and nonsense. We are going to appoint someone absolutely amazing.

I know I said the same the last eight times, but... I don't want to talk about them.

Frank DeBoar anyone?

No.
So tried to find if Van Bronckhorst was the new hot Dutch coach and came to the 'Telegraph's' '20 seriously underrated coaches who should be in the Premiership'
Well kudos for Nuno. But ...But  in the list...apart from Van Bronckhorst.
Lambert (Wolves) and Bruce !!!!!! The article was published in Feb 2017 just when Bruce out discussion was started by Risso.
Also included were Slutsky ex Hull and Alex Neill.
The press or H& V ? Have faith in the 'Mad few'

We are. We must, we simply can't not. We're going to do the most un-Villa thing in decades.

From everything I can find yes. He was very close to getting the Arsenal job, has been likened to Pep when he was coming through  at Barca and has been credited as a top coach by a number of Man City players. His kack if experience is a concern but I don't think we should ignore someone because it would be their first role. As i said i think the dof will be a big part of things so a less experienced head coach would be ok so long as the 2 could work together.

Yes. Win the FA Cup. It’s our year, again.

[PeterWithesShin]

He's apparently a good coach and could well become a good manager but i'm not sure having an interview can be classed as very nearly getting the Arsenal job.

[robleflaneur]

What gives me optimism is that Henry had been previously touted for the job and now Fonseca's name is in the frame.It's going to take a seismic shift from choosing those sort of candidates with their views on the game and then move to a BrucePlus old school such as Moyes and Allardyce.We should be entering into the 21C at least.
