Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[RichardBatchelor]

Rather have Hasslehoff than Hasenhuttl. Dreary dull football, Presumably will get the gig because he can make Ings work out. Can't see any other reason to employ him.

Hasselhoff would certainly provide some passion and entertainment!

Can I just shock you? I like Eddie Howe.

[cdbearsfan]

The question should be "what makes it him qualified"?

The answer seems to be: good playing career, successfully won half as many trophies as St Johnstone, and that's it.

If it wasn't for his big name, nobody would be suggesting him just as nobody is suggesting Callum Davidson.

I'm starting to get the impression you'd (almost) prefer Boris Johnson as Villa manager than Stevie G.

Absolutely. Coincidentally, I also reckon Gerrard would make a better Prime Minister.

Howe's record speaks for itself. saved them from relegation, 3 promotions, kept Bournemouth in the pl for 5 years. Think I suggested him when Garde, Bruce and Di Matteo went but at the time the main objection was " he wouldn't come to us", rather than not good enough.

[Sexual Ealing]

Burnley was too big a club for him.

[cdbearsfan]

Didn't Ron Saunders fail at Man City? You can be a good manager and fail once. I'm not suggesting we should go for Howe, and I fully expect him to be named Newcastle manager in the near future, but I think he's a decent manager who is capable of doing well with a club like us (or the Geordies).

[Ozzjim]

I think he's an outstanding coach. And will show it in his next role.

[Monty]

Yep, I rate Howe enough. I think he did a fine job at his last place. Whether that will translate elsewhere remains to be seen, but it's hardly unthinkable.

[Toronto Villa]

His teams did a number on us on a regular enough basis. It won’t be him. He’s been likely promised a decent old pot of cash at Newcastle and there are some of his old boys up there too

I'm more shocked someone thinks he's having very intimate relations with Amanda Staveley on the other page! That would be one way to errr crack on and get the Newcastle job.

Controversial I know but I'd go and get Rodgers from Leicester.

He has done everything he can at Leicester, and if he can get that shower up and around the European places, he'd have no trouble doing that with us.

[Toronto Villa]

It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s not holding out for Man U

She looks like red skull out of Captain America. Good luck to him.

I can't see us getting him.

I'll say this about that Hjulmand guy, Denmark played some good football at the Euro's and for a good part of the Semi outplayed England.
