Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[Monty]

You have to question what Purslow is doing to earn his money if he basically decides to appoint his mate rather than somebody actually qualified.

Who has he appointed then?

'If'.

In any case he is, by all accounts, considering Gerrard. Of which a generous interpretation would be that it's a massive risk.

[Brazilian Villain]

He may or may not be a good manager. But it's an unbelievably massive risk, and all because Purslow wants to strut around with a Superstar. Why not just appoint Hulk Hogan then? Or Mr. T? If he does come I hope to God we all look stupid, but it would be an embarrassing appointment to begin with.

Mr T would be alright until we got into Europe.

I pity the fool who would appoint him.

He's a ******. He beats up DJs for not playing his sort of music, he tried to cripple George Boateng, he dived to win a free kick that Liverpool scored from to beat us one-nil, he then said "these things even themselves out over the course of a season" before berating the referee when Liverpool had a similar decision go against them the very next week, he wore a T-shirt showing solidarity with a racist teammate, he manages a repulsive football club and refuses to call out their sectarianism. Happy?

Didn't the bust up with the DJ occur because the DJ kept playing the same song over and over again (think it was something by Kid Creole) that was basically goading Gerrard?

Thank you brother for saving me the time.

He's also got that shifty, snidey look about him.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

I've heard there's a shortlist of 5.
Gerrard, Martinez and Hjulmand are on it.

[LeeB]

'Sakes.

[Monty]

Actually don't really care about that stuff particularly, though obviously doesn't endear him to me. Just on football grounds the thing is pretty embarrassing.

[Demitri_C]

It's fucking Leicester mate. We did it before, and if we're serious we could do it again.

Leicester are better than us. Alot better and have been for years. Thats the sad reality.

Not going to happen

Christ - I'm glad you're not our CEO.

The way you're going on we'd be lucky to tempt Fat Dave away from his role managing a mid-table Sunday League team!

Im glad your not our ceo as you would embarass our club by the amount of rejections we would get if you would go for managers like rodgers.

No offence mate but if you think we are getting rodgers i think your in fantasy land.

Why on earth would he give up europe to come to come to a team un 15th and in draedful form? Forget your a villa fan for a second explain why anyone would? They just won a  fa cup and have a very strong side.

It makes absolutely zero sense for him ro join us right now

There's so many reasons not to do it. It's all very Tom Fox's shortlist of one. I fear it could end in the same mess.

[edgysatsuma89]

I will be gutted if the Fernando Torres of finance gets his way and by the sounds of it I wish Purslow stuck to finance.

If it were Martinez then my mates would have a right laugh because I've been calling him the biggest chancer in football since his Everton days.

I'll wait to get actually annoyed though until it happens. Or happy, you never know, could all be lazy journalism.

Not really, no.  I'm not going to present a 'case for' but most of that sounds pretty tenuous stuff to me really - the on-field stuff is the sort of stuff that happens all the time.  I see who he manages in Scotland is a big issue to you, but that's more your problem than his.

I don't really want him as manager, but for very differnt reasons to you clearly.

[KevinGage]

Hate any bollocks notions of a shortlist. 

It's not a McDonald's vacancy.

To be fair - Villas not for him, as it seems to be a bit of a broken record
