Next manager?

[wittonwarrior]

Ex Players - thanks  but no thanks.  We are not a basket case but a  high profile massive football institute.

My take is that there is no real outstanding  character out there who is not in a job.  Take Rafa any day, any minute, any second.

[Clark W Griswold]

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.

Yes Dwight, I do think you're nuts but it's nothing to do with the view out of your window, it's the shit that comes out of your mouth.
I think the recommendation he got from Ferguson was 'never try to become a football manager you flipping lunatic.'

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

You're entitled to that view. Is it shout about UK managers ??  Though you mention hassenhutti so I guess not.

And this isn't oneupping ya more that can look at things specifically rather than simply ' I want a striker as that means there will be an attacking team on show' paraphrase / interpretation of your comments .



Deschamps won the world cup was a number 6 one of the greats at what he did and perhaps that gave him a view of how to run things

Guardiola a dm and now unbelievable coach.

Klopp a defender. Liverpool are super attacking aren't they ?

Bielsa manager of Leeds . Was a defender . Has an attacking approach

I think it's down to manager and character as to how come in and set about things.

A player as GK Nuno has done well whereas GK Zenga hasn't

However I think Paul Dickov as a fiery striker would surely give us the attacking and passion that villa want . On your theory at least.

I just think saying having a former striker in as manager won't guarantee goals or attacking play.

But yes I would like hassenhutti to be considered too but I challenge reasoning .

Thank you

Irrelevant news but I play as defence midfielder and understand about attacking football

[sickbeggar]

Out of those listed i'd be happy with Ranieri. Managed all over the world ,Promotions in italy and france. Titles, Cup  wins. Plays decent football. Can manage with and without money. Not always succeeded but then who has after 30 years?

Yes Rafa would be comfortably my first choice of those mentioned. If we could get him.

[tomd2103]

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

Considering where we currently find ourselves, the three in the top group would be pretty impressive appointments and would show ambition.  I would love Dean Smith to come here and do well, but it would be a risk and one of Terry or Henry would be a leap further into the dark.  With Allardyce and Moyes it would be a case of a long sigh and "we go again", and Yorkie would be a disaster waiting to happen particularly as he'd probably have Bosnich as his assistant!! 

[KevinGage]

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

Another excuse-laden barsteward.

No ta.

If that Nixon fella says there's a big name in the frame that hasn't been publicly mentioned yet it might be:

Koeman (expressed interest before)
Prandelli

or Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink

[Lastfootstamper]

'skillz, it was indeed a frustrated dig at the tired old uninspiring names trotted out, rather than any hard and fast belief or reasoning!

But still, fuck pastels, let's get vivid.

Lang lebe die revolution.

Why are you not in the frame then?

Hasn't Prandelli been mentioned for us in the past and was meant to have been quite keen?

[mr underhill]

It's Brendan I tell ya!

I know someone who did a coaching badge with him at St. George's Park a couple of years ago and he didn't even show up on the first day apparently (Sherwood turned up one of the days apparently and during a conversation about conditioning said that he "didn't bother with any of that f@cking b@llocks").  Ex-players like Yorke just want to walk into a big managerial job because of the money and the return to the limelight it would bring them.
