Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[nigel]

Pellegrini? Hell no

Why?
To be honest I don’t know a lot outside of Villa, so all these names being thrown about I know little, or nothing, about.
I know Pellegrini won the league and cup with ManC, though

It wouldnt suprise me if we went for martinez. Our owners seem to admire henry too sk bringing him as our no 2 might attract them

[Des Little]

Would any international manager worth his salt come here with a World Cup on the horizon?

[adrenachrome]

It would seem that Fonesca rejected Spurs at the last minute, and Newcastle fairly late in negotiations due to issues of taxation.  In Italy, he could pay a set fee up front, and then be taxed at a lower rate.

He would need substantial nett wedge regardless of the gross.

Can't see it happening, somehow, although I like the way his teams play.

Look at how it ended up at West Ham. He spent a lot of money and when you look at what Moyes has done with many of those same players, it shows you how poorly Pellegrini did. They were happy to fire him in the end.

Not being ageist* but Pellegrini is 68.
May as well have Hodgson, Colin Wanker, or Joe Biden throw their zimmers in the ring.

*I'm 65 myself next year which is why I'm ruling myself out of applying.

Blimey, I’d forgotten about WHU.
Thanks for putting me right. Like I said, I don’t know much out of Villa 😂

yeah it prompted me to look up what Guus Hiddink was doing now. Retired.

Don't be hasty! You're on my list ahead of Gerrard.

Purslow mentioned 'new Head Coach' in terms of having time to adapt.  Are any of the so called big names going to want to be called the Manager and have a bit more control?  I wonder if this will create any issues.

Aye. Easy to forget sometimes. But he was there for a bit and it didn’t work out at all. Plus he’s almost 70!

[ozzjim]

Problem Gerrard has is coming here is basically shit or bust for the Liverpool job. He has to get us out of trouble comfortably this season, then top 8 next or he will have no chance of that job. It's a gamble. He might be better staying at Rangers, winning lots, of then going to Liverpool.

Not that I'm advocating for Pellegrini, but Moyes was at West Ham before and didn't do brilliantly.

[bilsim]

Bardell seems convinced that it'll be Gerrard. Please God no.

[cdbearsfan]

I have no recollection of Pellegrini managing West Ham and was unaware that Moyes had been there before.
