Next manager?

[hilts_coolerking]

Allardyce is an old school, unprincipled, money grabbing whinger with a massive head who I don't want anywhere near the club.

Hey Eddie Howe

Fancy leaving Bournemouth in sixth and coming to villa in the lower reaches of the championship with once centre back and a shit keeper?

Yours, deluded of Aston

ha ha that would be the equivalent of chucking over one of the most beautiful women in the world for say Camila Parker Bowles

That decision was good enough for the Dad of our most famous fan.

I think with moyes we may get the so called new manager boost but medium to long term can’t see glitter with the ginger one

I don't want him but I do think he will be a disciplinarian and get a bit more out of this squad than others.  That said though, I don't want him for threatening that lady in the press conference and you are right, longer term boredom would set in.   Dean Smith or Brendan Rodgers for me.

Realistically we look likely to ruin a young and promising option, being every bit a poison chalice as we were when Garde came in. I’d love to be optimistic but unless we’re talking about being prepared to gut the club and go down a league, realistically there is a lot of danger attached to making an ‘exciting’ appointment.

Said it in the post match thread but I’ve changed my mind. I did want a young hungry manager in the Henry, Smith mould but after sitting through that shit, I think we need to go down another route.

And waste how much longer treading water ?



We're not going up this season, that's already a given. And as we don't have money to spend next summer or even in January, the last thing we need are older cheque book managers that need to sign players rather than develop/work with what we already have IMHO

Give it someone willing to actually work with what we have and develop from there

We could make play offs easy in this league

Anyone with any sense would be advised to stay well away from Villa Park, the only thing big about us now is our wage bill.

Its going to take a hell of a lot more than just tinkering with this shower to turn it into a team.

I just can't see who of any quality would want it. We're an established Championship team paying premier league wages.

I'm pleased to see your conversion.The turnaround of this great club will only happen when we have some decent coaching staff and a manager with some vision and a plan.
The required qualities of the next manager haven't changed because of one away match under the leadership of an old  Academy coach whose conservative team selection echoed his previous notorious non selection of foreign players.

[PeterWithesShin]

Curbs as DOF, Fat Sam as manager with Kmac as his assistant. Sorted.

[PaulWinch again]

I want a manager who has fresh ideas, a number of tactical plans, with staff who can help execute them, and who makes Aston Villa a formidable outfit who never approach a Championship game worrying about what the opposition can do to us.

But we won’t because the squad isn’t balanced and we can’t address that for months. It’s hit me hard today, very depressed about our prospects. When we were relegated I thought it would take 5-6 years to go back up. Third season in and we are still in a mess. I need cheering up!

[PeterWithesShin]

We could. Albion's defence is nearly as shit as ours but their manager has realised that rattling in goals means you still win most of your games.

Not for me, today reinforces the fact we need to make bloody sure we don’t make a decision through fear. We need to be bold to get out of this tailspin. Moyes, Allardyce etc would just be another Bruce, they manage selfishly to reinforce myths about their perceived strengths. They never leave a sustainable legacy.
We need new and innovative thinking to drive us out of a decade of sub-standard shit.

[dave shelley]

I was looking forward to seeing one or two photo's of the new bloke taken by someone who was down there today.  Seems like he did a runner when he saw the shitfest being served up.

[Tayls_7]

Proven goalscorers,  high quality wingers, defensive midfielders. A squad full of quality if in name only. Nan has left defence in a state plus I think we overwish Grealish as a creative influence but in this league of turgid application how hard is it for a coach to put a winning side in place? Dean Smith would find out I'm sure.
