Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[devilla]

Gerrard is the wrong man for me as well. Very little managrment experience and I wouldn't say that what he has done at Rangers is enough to justify consideration for our job.

I never realised how much people disliked Purslow but referring to yourself as the 'Fernando Torres of finance' does make you sound like a bellend. Very much comes across as star struck by Gerrard also in the article. If he has his way then I can unfortunately see it happening but let's hope more voices get heard.

I am the Fernando Torres of cleaning frying pans, and I intend to sell myself to Chelsea.

Look what happened to him there!

Would have thought Purslow would have had more sense than be star-struck by Gerrard when choosing our new manager, myself, as the latter would go off to Liverpool as soon as he has the chance. Presumably he has the final say: didn't he go for Deano when the owners were star-struck by Thierry Henry, wasn't it?

Nice to see that I'm not the only one still awake!

PS: Perhaps we should be grateful to be known as StevenGerrard'sAstonVilla by the media and expected to suck it up! 🤮

Rodgers would be a fantastic appointment. Gerrard has never managed in the premier, but neither had Dean. I suppose Gerrard has done well in Europe. He wouldn’t be top of my list though.

Is Rangnick available?

[ROBBO]

I would rather sack Purslow than appoint Gerrard, we need someone who's managerial credentials goes further than managing a club in a two team league where even I could not fail.

[sickbeggar]

I think we have to pray Gerrard's common sense kicks in. Does he really want to give up a cushy number to enter football management and possibly condemn himself to a permanent seat on the Sky sofa next to Gary Nev in 12 months time?

[villa for life]

Not my first choice, but I’d prefer Gerrard to a few we’ve been linked with.

[sickbeggar]

Well yeah, its hardly an inspiring list of candidates. Not so much next level, more 90's boyband Another Level.

I really don't watch enough European/world football to come up with some swanky names so Brendan Rodgers would be my number 1 choice, I like the way he plays and constantly improves players and teams.  I'd also would be happy with Graham Potter, another Villa fan who I think would be almost a DS clone with better in game management and they do play front foot, attractive football.

Can absolutely see them going for John Terry though with his ties to the club or Stevie G for his ties to Purslow.  My issue here is that we'll only ever be a side order to their managerial main course so if they do a good job it's inevitable they'll be gone so soon as their home coming job becomame available.

[sickbeggar]

Can't see Terry. He's just joined twitter and is doing 5k runs and celebrity whatnot. Think he's given up on the football management lark because its not really the social media presence for a Manager.

[Malandro]

I feel sick saying this, but I probably would go for fat Frank.

He shouldn’t have jumped ship from Derby, but I generally liked what he was trying to do at Derby and Chelsea.

We had 2 scouse managers that did ok or was it because their names were both Ron. Villa almost has this supernatural ability to the past. So a scouse manager might just work. Although Ron Saunders was from Birkenhead.
