Next Aston Villa Manager

[PeterWithesShin]

The only thing with Poch is he strikes me as someone who could be interested in a project, rather than someone like the Whinging One that only wants clubs already there. It's a slim chance with Poch and he may well be at the stage he wants a club already there, but if the owners are as ambitious as I hope they are then i'd hope we at least make an enquiry if we bin DS, even if Poch does laugh down the phone.

Anyone thinking Benitez or Pochettino will be rocking up at Villa Park anytime soon is deluded.

You probably voted for Wenger.

I didn't vote for anyone.
It's not as simple as changing the manager, the players & recruitment strategy is equally questionable.

[cdbearsfan]

Agree. Doesn't hurt to ask the question. If he says no, we just go for somebody else amazing.

[Pete3206]

I don't think he laugh down the phone. I think he'd collapse in hysterics.

[Roysmert]

Fuck, no. He's a c***. His "achievements" consist of zero trophies and finishing second in a competition that only two teams can win. And he's a c***. I know I've mentioned that already, but thought it was worth emphasising.

So Bono > Stevie G ?

That's actually quite close. Throw in Robbie cocking Williams and you have the full Trumvirate of Twattery.

Out of pure interest CD, have you ever met SG?
And labelling him a #### is based upon what exactly?
Your hatred of all things Liverpudian ?

Eh? No, I don't hate Ron Saunders, Dennis Mortimer or Tony Morley, funnily enough. You're a bit bloody defensive whenever anyone criticises anything that happens to be associated with Liverpool.

Is it okay that I dislike slavery, Cilla Black and Esther McVey but quite like The Beatles, Alexei Sayle and Tom Baker?

No, I hate Gerrard because he was a cheating, diving bastard who should have gone to prison for assaulting someone because they had different taste in music to him.

If that's okay with you?

I am with CDB on this.

Now then. VCTM lives there, his kids are locals, his missus us, he's met the guy, and others close to him, so I'll defer to his right to offer his defence of all things scouse. The thieving little scallies

Everton apparently enquired to Poch's agent but were quickly told he wasn't interested.

There's talk he could be a target for Man. City if Guardiola leaves. Chelsea job may also come up in near future. Plus all the ones abroad like Juventus, PSG and Bayern Munich.

Benitez to me is more realistic given he's said he'll manage in the premier league again. Bit of a problem though he's worked before with Suso and Purslow and didn't get on with either.

[Roysmert]

The thread I started for this got shut down a week ago. 

Tradition says only Risso can start the Manager Out thread.

I'm cool with that. Risso is an intelligent person

[cdbearsfan]

I think Risso should start the Pochettino Out thread now, save fucking around.

Benitez to me is more realistic given he's said he'll manage in the premier league again. Bit of a problem though he's worked before with Suso and Purslow and didn't get on with either.

I'm not sure £12m a year is realistic to be honest.

[cdbearsfan]

Quite a few people don't hang around too long in China, big money or otherwise.

And, let's face it, it's not like he'd be claiming tax credits to make ends meet if he ends up managing in the Premier League.

We’ve more chance of securing the services of Rafa Nadal. This site never ceases to amaze me

That's fine with me sweetie ......let me buy you a drink near Anfield when we play LFC, just to prove there are no hard feelings......for the sake of accuracy Tony Morley is a "Woolyback"
-From Ormskirk

[cdbearsfan]

Never heard that before. Think I have been a woolyback since about the age of 23 but at least it keeps me warm in the winter... 😧

[garyshawsknee]

I think all this talk is immaterial as they are not gonna sack someone who they've only given a new contract to less than 2 months ago, especially as there is no outstanding, realistic target. Poch is gonna get one of the biggest jobs in the world during the summer, Benetiz and Purslow don't get on, plus he's on huge money, which leaves the normal runners and riders like Moyes, Hughton etc i rather have DS to be honest. If he doesn't get a couple of shrewd signings in and changes our tactics, then he will be the man to take us down.

[The_ads]

It's not delusion to think Poch could come here with a window and financial backing. It's a fantastic opportunity for a manager. If Dean is sacked then call Poch, ask him what he wants and offer it.

It couldn't hurt to contact Poch. Considering he was supposed to be nailed on to be the next manager of Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus to the best of my knowledge he is currently out of work.

Put down the Brandy fella.
