Next Manager Speculation and wishful thinking thread

[Demitri_C]

I'll be honest, i'm not jumping up and down at the thought of him possibly coming in but I'll get behind him and I hope he does a bloody good job. Isn't that what it's all about?

Exactly this 👏

[cdbearsfan]

Telegraph are reporting that he could be in place before next Monday and that he's interested in the job.

If he is interested as that paper says then it will be him. I have no doubt about it.

Not my first choice but he will get my 100%backing. Time to get over smith people its the past now we need to move on from the smith era

I think its a mistake - but TBH my opinion is pretty shite at the best of time.

All I hope is if this does turn out to be a mistake (And I hope it doesnt), that this doesnt cause a long term derailment of whats been achieved over the past 3 years

If true, it will be another sad day in this club's once illustrious history. i thought we had learned our mistake appointing chancers.

Sorry, he wont get my support at all. It will end in tears.

No wonder that lot over the road laugh at us.

Its incredible isnt it? You don't have to like him as a person but bloody hell he deserves a chance.

Embarrassing

What's embarrassing is a club of our stature acting like starstruck teenagers because someone that played for Liverpool flashes a bit of ankle at them.

Na mate not supporting a manager because he isnt your first choice is more embarrassing.

I take it then you wont be going to villa park then if Gerrards appointed?

It’s a early to be going with the better fan than you bullshit

What better fan bullshit?

Dont talk bollocks mate i am just saying how i will bs with tbe new manager point to me where i have said i am a bettee fan than anyone else?

About your last ten posts have all been of the "I'm a better fan than those who don't want to cheer for Steven Gerrard" variety.

For what it's worth, if we are talking "better fans", I prefer those that don't applaud it when the club acts like starstruck teenagers when they should be pulling out all the stops to get the best candidate possible.

Im.not interested in a mythical debate about "being better fan". I dont classify myself better or worse than any fan. What im saying is i will support the new guy like any manager as thats how i roll. Unpopular? Perhaps but that doesnt mean im saying "im a better fan  than you" thats just ludicrous and just off subject nonsense that i dont want to engage in.

You were calling people "embarrassing" for not wanting the new manager in, then implying that I/we shouldn't go to Villa Park unless we support him.

This isn't "mythical", it's in the discussion that I'm quoting.

You have a habit of coming out with this better fan than you bollocks, I've noticed it in your posting style before.

Two kittens die every time someone compares this appointment to McLeish.

McLeish had just relegated Blues. Mcleish was renowned for really awful football. McLeish had just managed that lot over the road and they were relatively glad to see the back of him. It is nothing like McLeish.

SG has gone into a huge football club as a rookie and went undefeated for the entire season and won the league. He’s also presently top of the league this season and have a more than reasonable shout of qualifying for the next stages of the Europa league.  If you are against it - fine. Everyone has an opinion, but coming out with nonsense like you won’t support him or he’ll get a cold reception. It’s utterly ludicrous and makes this fan base look embarrassing.  Happy to debate this with anyone on here before the Brighton game - normally stand underneath the small TV in the Holte Suite, on the right through the doors as you walk in

I can support the team without supporting the manager.

Will you be singing "Stevie G, he's won more than you"?

He can sing what he likes, within reason.

Sure, but he's the one lecturing other people for not singing for the new manager.

Making stuff up now are you? Where have i said you should sing for the new manager?

[Clampy]

It's an interesting stance Bully is taking. He's not going to get  behind Gerrard but thinks fans shouldnt applaud the club for choosing him (or acting like starstruck teenagers as he puts it). Do what you want to Billy, but don't tell others how they should react.

[cdbearsfan]

You said "not supporting a manager" was embarrassing.

And will have to handover a couple of million just to gain his services
Which makes the pill even harder to swallow when you don’t want him in the first place

I'm not, I'm justifying my position. Demetri was suggesting that those who don't support him shouldn't attend games.

So a bit of side note, but something has gone wrong on this chain - as the comments I am linked to aren't what I said - its gone out of sync.

Anyway - carry on your fight

It should be Clampy but unfortunately it looks as if we are in the minority.

The apparent determination to see Gerrard fail is quite discouraging

I don't think I fair to say that anyone wants to see him fail.  He may turn out to be a brilliant manager and I really hope he does.  I think we can all agree on that

I used the phrase “apparent determination” because that is the impression I gleaned from many of the comments

I do agree that we should all want him to be a success

+1 but I'm used being in in the minority on here.

[Des Little]

Every Villa fan wants the manager to be a success. Without exception.

You have noticed or made up?

I called out embarassing that theh wouldnt support the managee before he has even been given  opportunity.  That is embarrassing. And show me where i said fans should stay away from villa park?? Another made up accusation from you.

He deserves a chance simple as that. Just like smith, just like bruce just like mcleish.

Your the one continuing this nonsense debate after i have clarified  i am not a better  fan your just twisting words to suit your argument. If you dont like what someone says you jump on them.  I can see where the bully in your name comes from.

Screaming into a void - that's a really good way of putting it.  I've thought that a lot
