Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[villa for life]

We are already,  and we are going to continue to be flirting in around the relegation zone this season.

We just can’t afford to go down.

A manager without premier league experience will take longer to settle. Wolves lost their first three- can we afford to lose another 3-5 games on the spin?

I’d take Hodgson until the summer if who they really want is unwilling to leave mid season.

It makes no sense to give a long contract to our 3/4/5 choice …

Hodgson is retired

If we attract a top class candidate, you have to wonder about their reaction to our recruitment policy. I am guessing most of them will have some players in mind who they want pdq, regardless of youth and resale value.   

Hopefully a new Manager would see the glaring lack of a top quality DM. This has come back to bite DS big time when he had all summer to address it.

they're going to get in Ronald Koeman.

ITK.

I think that would be good tbh, did well at Southampton and Everton for a bit! Joking aside I don’t see a team managed by RK getting relegated.

I mentioned koeman and people saying he is awful. He isnt.

Had success in england and the barce job is impossible at the amount with all the restrictions there

[PaulTheVillan]

I’d be happy with Ronny K but I think there is surely a better option.

Koeman is not considered a good coach in the Netherlands. He is solid, but unspectacular, and wouldn't be an improvement on Smith in terms of tactics and adapting to situations during games.

Don’t really care how he is considered in the Netherlands, but good to hear your view. He got Southampton and Everton into Europe.

[N'ZMAV]

I don't want him.

Koeman would be a disaster. If we’ve set our sights on managers sacked in his last job in the Premier league at a club with similar ambitions to us then we really are fucked. You should also look at his transfer record with Everton which was a car crash, £130m on Williams, Sigurdsson, Klaasen,  Bolasie and Schneiderlin. No ta

[N'ZMAV]

most managers we appoint are a disaster

[sickbeggar]

People have been turning their noses up at Howe, but if The Richest Club in the World Evoh who are only 6 points off us are having problems, who knows who we'll end up with.

In the Times match report it says that we’ve already held informal talks with Fonseca.
