Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[PaulTheVillan]

I think we need something specific. We've been left behind tactically for two decades now, and it's time to change that. We need someone to modernise us, to get us playing on the front foot, pressing and attacking with conviction and organisation.

I think we specifically don't need Lampard, Gerrard or, even more specifically, Terry. After that I have no idea. Maybe Steve Bruce?

Bruce would never happen, obviously. But imagine the meltdown? It would be biblical

As I was saying, just appointing someone based on their famous fecking name would be monumentally small-time.

Gerrard - wants the Liverpool job in 3 years time. If it’s him then he will have fire in belly to ensure it’s successful or it ultimately will cost him his dream job down the line

Ralf H - experienced and could go on a gear with better ownership backing

Personally I think it’s between those 2

Jesus fucking Christ. Sack Purslow if those are the best he can come up with.

That's a hugely disappointing list.

I don't know. Colin is at 50 so worth a £1.

Fucking hell.

If that's the best list avaiable for a huge club with some of the richest owners in world football, then I despair.

And yet, there is a nagging feeling that that's precisely what will happen.

Paulo's away in Mauritius with Isabella and their three little ones on a mini-break. He gets back to Lisbon at 15.35 on Wednesday.

Looks like we’re gonna find out sooner than I thought If my fears are founded

Isn't Isabella Fonseca the name of Martin Amis's wife?

Let's just wait and see. I'd convinced myself that they were going to stick with Smith this morning, so let's just see what happens.

Surely a manager that suits himself is one that will bring success to Villa? Ultimately that’s his job.
