Next manager?

[chrisw1]

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

I think he would consider it the best possible job he could hope for at the moment.  He's been sacked by West Ham and Sunderland FFS.

@reluctantnicko Al can u just answer me this. Do u think Moyes has any chance of getting villa job

just coming across as someone trying to make out he knows more than he does now.

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.

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

I am enjoying his current efforts at Newcastle.

Dwight Yorke. He's spouting again...

Well done to him for passing his level B coaching badge but if he wants to be Villa manager so badly and apparently has done for quite a while why hasn't he bothered cutting his teeth in management at any level to prove himself. If a fondness for the club was enough to qualify you for the job all of us on here would be on a shortlist along with Tom Hanks, Nigel Kennedy and Prince William.

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

Why are you not in the frame then?

You don't know he's not...

I'm far lower level so wouldn't be . Call me a casual.
I'll just watch from afar like I do.

No way is he considering dropping down a division just to take on another thankless task.

Is what I think he thinks.

Both Warnock and Vassell spoke well on SSN this morning...and Dwight Yorke now confirming he’s applied for the job!

[robleflaneur]

Sean Dyche or Eddie Howe ?I would prefer Howe of the 2 but you can see him eyeing one of the top six in 2 years time,especially if he keeps Bournemouth in the top half. Why bother to start all over again ?
For Dyche it might be a struggle just to keep Burnley in the top flight and his football is not as progressive as Howe's and can't see him being offered a top job because of that. Could Villa be interested ?

[chrisw1]

If York wants to be a manger why doesn't he join a club and start by coaching their kids?  Or go to a non league outfit and cut his teeth?

Such a self-entitled bellend.

A real left-field and modern idea: Hope Powell ex England women's?

Prandelli is a Villa fan - https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2014/06/01/italy-manager-prandelli-reveals-longstanding-villa-support

I'm not saying he is my first choice or that we should go for someone with a Villa connection, but a page or two back he was mentioned.

Good pedigree as a player and coach - not sure on recent history.

[The Man With A Stick]

Has Sol Campbell thrown his trilby into the ring yet?  If not, it's only a matter of time.

A real left-field and modern idea: Hope Powell ex England women's?

I really hope one day she, or another woman, makes it as a successful manager in the mens game.  But I certainly wouldn't want us to be the club that takes the gamble that it's an achievable goal.

[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.'

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.     

Quite. The bit about Sherwood made me laugh and whenever his name comes up I always think about that video of him on the sidelines at Leicester waving his arms about like a right dick head.

Hope was England manager when the women's game was still emergent as any kind of professional entity, and her sides were a bit roll-yer-sleeves-up, 442, and reliant on a lethal centre-forward.

But then again, it worked for Bobby Robson.
