Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[Sexual Ealing]

I think it's time we stopped looking at 'local' people. Manchester United didn't get where they are today by avoiding Norwegians. What about that fella who managed Wimbledon in wellies back in the day?

The Rise and Fall of Egil Olsen

That's him. There aren't enough wellies in top-flight football (apart from watching our defenders), and there hasn't been for a while.

[Allan C]

I'm clearly the best fan on here and I want him gone. So that settles that.

oh yeh show us your programmes and badges Love   

Merch is for day trippers.

careful sir or I will whip you with my half and half scarf

I’ve got an original claret and blue bar scarf and a Charlie Aitken shirt which makes me the best fan ever

I'm loathe to post on this thread but if we're to go 3 at the back and if not Southagte then Chris Wilder knows exactly how to bring that system forward.
He's similarly to Dean Smith in values I rather keep Smith but wouldn't be surprised or discouraged to have Chris Wilder in. Though would be very sad if that was the change as Dean for me is far more suited to Villa
Wilder would get the best out of Danny Ings and Watkins as a partnership

That's not as bad a shout is feels on first reading. I'd have swapped in a heartbeat just before lockdown.

Wilder seem to have lost it at Sheff Utd probably issues with how the transfer dealings came in

I not sure if he be completely comfortable with  director of football for all his fresh approach to football he can be a bit old school

1. We don't want 3 at the back.
2 We don't want Wilder (much as I admired the job he did at Sheffield the thought of overlapping centre backs does not fill me with joy)
3. We don't want Southgate.  There must be 100 managers I'd rather have than that clown.

Please try harder Footy.

Check out the top scoring stats for forwards under Chris Wilder...and he bought a lot of them!

No manager will get the best out of a Watkins/Ings partnership, it will never work. Watkins played his best gane of the season yesterday, I wonder why

I think Villa were linked with him . And good cause too.
However we have plenty of own young quality in that department

[Mister E]

That lad at Mainz might be an idea. If not, Guardiola or Klopp.

Bo Svensson.

Good shout and would fit the profile

Despite it not working out at Spurs, would be very odd if we had managerial vacancy in next two weeks and didn't interview Nuno.
I think he could be decent fit for the players we have. Ultimately he finished 7th twice with newly promoted side and last season they had their best player out for three more months than what we did with G***lish so results always going to decline.
Also has good european experience with Valencia and Porto.
Perhaps he'll want a break now or manage in another league though.

Nuno was interviewed by both Everton and Palace and both rejected him because he didn't 'get' their project and made crazy demands on issues around coaching personnel. Apparently.

[VinnieChase84]

Favre very almost took the Palace job in the summer. He is exactly the type we need.

Gaultier if we can convince him to leave pretty Nice for Aston would be a superb move (weve wanted him before as mananger)

Potter - Local roots (was a Villa fan then joined blues and 'liked' them after)

Fonseca - Attacking football and would be entertaining

Bo Svenson (as others have mentioned) highly rated and fits the profile.

The idea that no one would get a better tune from this squad than DS is misplaced (id argue Nuno would actually be a decent fit but recent performances a concern)

The Southampton manager has done well for a while and who knows what he could achieve with a bigger budget.

He’s also experienced enough to steer us away from the relegation zone where we will soon find ourselves.

I’m sure he’d be tempted as he must be frustrated at not being able to hang onto his best players and build a stronger team.

His dress sense is a tad questionable, though.

Could be a good compromise candidate between the “I don’t want Terry/Lampard/Gerrard” brigade and the “”let’s get Conte/ Hag/Zidane” crew.

Think that would be a sensible appointment if Dean does go.  Has experience of the league (not always required) and has been through some tougher times as well as good runs of form, so will has a somewhat proven record of managing a side where we currently find ourselves. 

Has got a habit of conceding 9 goals in a game once a season though!!
