Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[TonyD]

What’s Eddie Howe doing?

No thanks.  Boring.

[Sexual Ealing]

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

[Three Spires Villa]

What’s Eddie Howe doing?

Not being interviewed for the Villa job I hope

[RichardBatchelor]

Nobody thanks. Happy to work through this bad patch and come out the other side.

Yeah, I'd much rather punt at someone like Mainz man than the likes of Terry or Lampard. No point in changing otherwise.

The other side in the championship.  No thanks

Bo Svensson has a better points percentage at Mainz than Klopp or Tuchel had there. He's studied and learnt from both Klopp and Tuchel, they both rate him.
Go and prise him away from there now because if we don't in about a year from now you will be seeing him turning up in the Premier with a scab 6 club or Newcastle.

Luciene Favre.
Paulo Fonseca
Frank Lampard
Eddie Howe

Get the feeling all four would be interviewed or at least approached via agents to see what they're thinking.

Pros and cons for all of those of course but when you're a bottom 6 team you're not going to get an amazing manager tbh unless you luck out on a Pochettino type (who Southampton got when they were 19th).

Attainable or not, here's some of the leading unemployed managers...

Antonio Conte
Zidane
Ernesto Valverde
Paulo Fonseca
Diego Martinez
Lucien Favre
Andre Villas-Boas
Quique Setien

[Billy Walker]

It's all about the owners and their ambitions.  If they genuinely want Villa to be a top club, at least competing in Europe, they must bring in a man with the profile and experience to match.  I'm hoping this is something they will have been thinking about for a while, meaning there will be no long, drawn out searches. 

[pauliewalnuts]

Please no Terry, Gerrard, Lampard, Eddie Howe style appointment.

[cdbearsfan]

Part of my reasoning for still not being fully convinced that Smith should go is my worry that we will end up with Gerrard, Lampard or Terry.

A simple test should be "would Lerner have appointed him"? If the answer is "yes", then don't be so bloody stupid.

[Demitri_C]

Id take fonseca or nuno if spurs sack him.

Nuno is still a execllent manager just been thrown under the bus by levy

[KevinGage]

Brian Little or Ini Kamoze.

[Ian.]

I really don’t want Terry, Lampard or Gerrard, please no
