Next Aston Villa Manager

[TonyD]

Shit imagine if they go with Moyes.

I don't think we have a group of players who are good enough or ready to play regularly in this level.

Any manager will have a serious job to do to get this sorted quickly.

Not good enough
Jota
Lansbury
Taylor
Kodja
Targett
Elmohamady
Hourihane

Not ready
Nakemba
Hause
Luis
Konsa
Guilbert
Engel's
Trezeguet
Wesley
Davis

Good enough
Mings
Grealish
McGinn
Heaton

Completely forgot about the Leicester semi finals.

Well I guess that could be part of the pitch to any new manager or new signings, you're only 3 games from winning us a historic first trophy since the mid 90s.

If we're really smart there is still loads to sell about this club. We did sign an England international striker when we were in the bottom 3 in 2011 and that was when Lerner was losing interest so let's not act like it's mission impossible to find a manager who can win us 5-6 more games this season.

We aren't going to be getting a manager before Burnley, and then it's two cup games, which have to be regarded as a bonus more than essential.

We have until 12th January to get a top class manager. No need for a panicky Terry/Moyes type appointment.

Let's get this one right, Villa.

Smith is going nowhere. We’ve just given him a 4 year contract

People keep saying this. To quote Inigo Montoya, I do not think it means what you think it means.

I think that's generous on a few of the 'not ready' category.

Spot on fella, though I'd add Konsa, Hause and Davis to the not good enough list.

Though this is no excuse for Smith's tactics/team selections/luck..... You only have to travel up to Sheffield and see what Wilder is getting out of Championship level players every week to see what's possible with proper drilled in tactics/effort/game management.

The new contract made no sense. And, to top it off, the players seem to have stopped believing in him since??

Was there something upset in the camp and the new contract was aimed to strengthen him?

[lovejoy]

Given the names on the realistic list aren’t we better sticking with the bloke who got us up a matter of months ago. I’d give him the season and if we go down then we regroup.

We sacked Lambert about four months after he signed a similar deal.

It's certainly not a good luck, DS should've just got that new deal the day after we went up. No issue then.

That old chestnut again.

[IFWaters]

Available managers include :
Pochettino
Kovac, last job Bayern Munich
Allegri, last jobs Juve & Inter
Blanc, last job Inter

Mind you, that sort of thinking got us Di Matteo. But would you accept Big Sam and his brand of football just to stay up?

4 months is a bit different to 4 weeks. Purslow will look like a right cock sacking his manager 30 days after giving him a bumper 4 year deal.

Chris Wilder. He's doing the business

More chance of deontay wilder than him. No chance in hell he is coming here

No and I dont think we have the players to play BigSAMBall
