Next Aston Villa Manager

[Risso]

Chris Wilder. He's doing the business

We'd have more chance of getting Klopp than we would Wilder.

Give Poch a ring and a £50m January budget to see if he fancies it.  If not my choice would be Kovac.

Pochettino is being lined up for Bayern Munich, Barca, Real Madrid and ManUre, he ain’t coming to us.

Chris Wilder. He's doing the business

Chris Wilder is what we all hoped to get with Dean Smith. Fan of the club. Up and coming manager. Zero fucks given when playing against supposedly bigger teams. Instead we have a bloke who’s becoming a delusional coward.

[Stu]

Lmao, we are not getting the likes of Pochettino, even if he was sacked from Spurs. Absolutely fucking mental.

Slaven Bilic would be hilarious though.

[PeterWithesShin]

Wilder could be the next big thing or the next Lambert. I hope if we do change manager we're aiming a tad higher than the likes of him or Dyche. And Dyce can fuck off anyway until he learns to clear his throat.

What needs addressing is the away form.

...because we've looked so invincible at home?!

[cdbearsfan]

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

Dean still got us promoted like Wilder did. Ultimately one manager has taken to this level with ease and the other has really struggled.

Chris Wilder has total faith in his system and style of management at this level. He believes it works and it has. One interview with him earlier in the season stuck in my mind. Sheffield United lost a narrow game and instead of praising them for being plucky he actually said in the interview the squad needed to start believing they deserved to be premier league players as much as anyone else.

I think that's the difference. I'm not sure DS really believes deep down he should be at this level just yet. You can see that in how painfully long it takes him to make subs in games, the long conferences he has with O' Kelly and John Terry seemingly asking for their permission to make a sub.

It's a shame but he'll be a decent premier league manager in the long run, just not yet.

Our home form isn't great, but it's enough to avoid the drop.

Our away form is worse than in 2015-16. Appalling.

I don't think I'm alone thinking with the home games at Villa Park we have hope and have chance of victories.

Away from home is a difference and has been all season

Despite previous results I still remain hopeful at home who ever villa have to play.
Big atmosphere and big games.

Eric Black has 35+ years of experience.

We will. If they stick, they just kissed approx $100m down the drain in the hope it’s a blip

.......& here in this thread is the best argument against the other thread.

So easy to say ‘out’ yet not so easy to work out the ‘in’.

[CT Villan]

Pochettino, Wenger and Rafa are the obvious choices. I think going for an overseas manager without EPL experience would be another Wesley-like gamble and I'm not ready to flip that coin again so soon.
