Next manager?

Moyes has not been contacted.

It's not Moyes. Thank God.

He’s odds on now

Just heard from my son who has a source who works at Villa and he says it’s definitely going to be Moyes

Glad we've cleared that one up then!

Alan Nixon says he's not been contacted.

Ralph Hassenhüttl. Has to be.

Ive seen this name floated about. Is he any good?

51, worked his way up the ladder, last job he took a newly-promoted Leipzig to runner-up inside two years. Plays attacking football. Allegedly sounded out by Arsenal late '16. Out of work since signing off last season with a 6-2 win away at Hertha Berlin.

It’s Dwight for me.  And look who’s recommending him.

Yorke said: “I know I can go in there, play good football and get them promoted. When I see Villa struggling, I want to help. People associate me with Man United but Villa is where it all started for me.

“I’ve got a burning ambition, so much belief and commitment. I’ve got a connection with the fans and surely having that rapport will give you a massive advantage.

“I’ve seen the club suffer the disappointments, the heartache and the pain. There’s been too many changes, too many wrong appointments for me to turn my back on it.

“We have to make sure Villa gets back where it belongs. It’s a great club. The whole place, the fans, everyone, needs something different, a fresh start and I feel I can give that excitement at the club.

“I’ve got a recommendation from Sir Alex. I’ve got his backing and he says that if I need his support then he’s on the end of the phone. He wouldn’t say that unless he believed I could do the job.

Hmm...  where have we heard that one before.

He also added:

"I’m sitting in Dubai, if you could see the view from my apartment then you’d think I was nuts, but I’d love to get into management. I wouldn’t go anywhere near it unless I thought I could do the job".

Sounds like he has really got his finger on the pulse.

It's moyes with yorke as his assistant

I would be monumentally underwhelmed if it was Moyes.

His record at West Ham :
West Ham United   7 November 2017   13 May 2018   31   9   10   12   29.03

Thats goals / won / drawn / lost / win%

He did okay there but thats the decision west ham made. Keep a guy who may keep you mid-table for 5 years, or try and push on with someone else a bit more progressive. Jury's out at the moment i guess. To me anyway, Moyes carries the scent of failure, probably from seeing his glum mug every 5 minutes after Man U took another beating

Sounds like Mourinho this season!

I can't think of anyone linked that I'd be overjoyed with but;

Happy enough, sounds like a plan
Benitez
Rogers
Fonseca

Risky but should be an improvement
Henry
Smith
Terry

Err, underwhelmed...
Moyes
Alladyce

Get fucked
Yorke
McCarthy

yeah, but at least Mourinho has a bit of defiance about him. Moyes always struck me as looking utterly defeated from day 1

[Lastfootstamper]

Also, Hassenhüttl was a striker. I'm bored of being bogged down by solid former defenders and workaday once upon a time midfielders.

[Lastfootstamper]

I can't begin to think just how far beneath him Moyes would think our job is.

[dicedlam]

I'm just sick to the back teeth of being linked with dinosaurs full stop.

Bronty Saurus from the Italian league is being touted now.

Pretty much how I feel

[lovejoy]

Henry and Terry are just massive jumps in to the unknowns. We shouldn't be a first job for anyone.
