Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Drummond]

Yeah, I know its a bit early, but it's pretty clear to me that we've got a change coming soon. So do we want? Who could we get? Who do we think it could be?

I'd like Bielsa.

Rodgers is below us in the table.
Pochettino was a nearly man at Spurs and didn't do that well at PSG all things considered.
Potter is too much of a gamble.
Dyche is a big no because of his style.
Frank has done some good things.
Fonseca was mentioned a year ago but I'm not sure I know enough to have an opinion.
Southgate should never come back to Villa Park.
Allardyce would be a very bad joke.
Simeone wouldn't come.
Hassenhuttl would be a risk and I'm not sure I'd want a manager that has lost 9-0. (see also Parker)
Wilder isn't anywhere near ambitious enough.
Knutsen, pah.
Terry can fuck off and would be a crazy appointment.

I'll do it. If I'd been in charge so far this season, we'd only have three fewer points. Fine margins.

Hmmm, get your cv over then.

[cdbearsfan]

Pochettino. No more "he'll do" appointments.

Poch, Manchini, Potter

Didn't think of Mancini. Good call that.

Will do! I don't expect to be first choice, but I will pay my own expenses at the Travelodge for away trips, if that helps.

He might be tempted  as Italy didn't qualify for the World Cup.

Pochettino. No more "he'll do" appointments.

So you're writing me off? I'll have you know that I got Shrewsbury Town promoted to division 2 on Premier Manager '98, and had them safe in 14th place before I got the sack for offering Steve Watson a 6-year contract on £45k per week.

I just don't think we are quite at your level, yet. Maybe if Pochettino can win a bit of silverware for us, you might be tempted in a few seasons, if the money's right.

Thanks mate. Thank you for thinking not only about Villa but also my own career ambitions

Someone who's managed someone in a top division in football, done relatively well, managed for more than 1 or 2 seasons and so he doesn't have to learn on the job. Basically someone who's a professional manager not a fucking YTS schemer.

[Toronto Villa]

Manchini would be very interesting and high profile. And with Italy not going to the WC this might be the time. Pochettino for me though. Rodgers then maybe Potter.

Don’t we need a poll?

[Drummond]

I figured a poll could come after a while when all the runners and riders were suggested?

[Smirker]

Pochettino.
