Next manager?

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

The problem is we are not as an attractive proposition as a majority of fans think.

I understand most fans only see the good in the club, that's natural. But there is some huge delusion going on with some of these suggestions.We won'tbget someone like Benitez, Dyche,Howe etc. Why would they leave where they are?

Sad fact is due to half a decade or more of mismanagement, poor decisions etc we find ourselves looking and having to consider not the most sexy or glamourous appointments as the most viable ones.

Not sure about that. If anything I think too many fans don't see much good in the club at all, which is understandable given the shambles of the last eight years. However, we have a clean slate and money talks, and we appear to have plenty of it. I think we should be a very attractive proposition indeed and the pool of viable options ought to include sexy and glamorous ones.

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!

ha ha
me and adds have been disagreeing on here for the last two years no need to stop now

I hope just this once you're wrong, John.

never ever wanted to be wrong so much

If, and it's a big if, we aren't in the shit over Financial Fair Play, we are one of the most attractive clubs around. Guaranteed millions in wages. A potentially huge transfer kitty. Famous stadium, large fanbase, massive potential.

Only downside is that, in order to start tapping into that potential, you have to inspire us to finish above pointless teams like Middlesbrough and Brentford, and get us promoted. It's hardly cracking Enigma.

Absofuckinglutely loads of top class managers would be enticed by that, if we make it sound attractive.

Or we could just talk ourselves down, like some of our own fans do, and settle for some shite like Moyes or a total punt like Henry.

Agree.  It's crying out for someone with a bit of hunger who has ambitions of not only managing in the top flight, but making a real impact and establishing themselves at that level .  If the owners are willing to spend the necessary money to make us competitive in that league, then surely there aren't currently too many better jobs outside the top six in the Premier League.  Yes. we've got to get out of the Championship first and although we have started poorly,  it looks pretty open this season and promotion is still achievable from our position. 

The last thing we need is another plodder serving up garbage football and constantly telling us we should be content with being mid table in the Championship and being knocked out of cups in the early rounds by lower league opposition.

if they are dumb enough to employ Dave then they deserve every bit of misfortune going. And attendances of about three.

Genuinely this would be the final straw for me.

Possible source of the rumours...Marriott by-the-way

More praying

[Marlon From Bearwood]

I’m reasonably confident it won’t be Moyes however this is reminding me of McLeish all over again.

I’m reminding myself that we had an imbecile running things back then whereas these new owners surely know what they are doing.

Oi.

[alan_clarke]

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they've interviewed Moyes.

I'd be shocked if they hired him.

You'd have thought so but appointing Moyes would undermine that belief significantly.

[Dave P]

It's going to be the kick in the balls from a 25 year run up that is Moyes, isn't it?

[Matt Collins]

Fonseca isn't going to come

Either Rodgers, Flores or Smith in that order would all make me happy
