Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[cdbearsfan]

I’ve got excited before when we’ve been talking about managers. I’m just not getting my hopes up this time. It tends to just go to shit.

Fair enough, that's understandable.

What? You’re telling me you didn’t get excited about McLeish then?

I remember being in Tesco in Cradley Heath when that was announced.

It was very much our generation's "JFK Moment".

If another club in a similar state as us fans were talking about Poch then we’d be laughing at them.

Everton were actually in the bottom 3 when they appointed Ancelotti three seasons back.

And Newcastle were in the shit and went down after appointing benitez.

No way we can't get Poch if we want him.

Rogers would also be a good appointment. There are good options out there, so no excuse for not getting a decent replacement if Gerrard gets the push.

Does 'similar state to us' mean owned by 2 billionaires with a combined worth of well over 10bn, with a massive ground expansion plan in the works?

And a brand-new crest on the way

First laugh I've had all day

It's hard to see us taking another hopeful punt on a manager with no premier league  experience. Not after the current disaster.

[LeeB]

Sean it is then.

You mean we're not going for the next Remi Garde?

[N'ZMAV]

Klopp and Guardiola seemed to do ok without Premier League experience

The bit in bold should be part of our new club crest

This is football. Unlikely things are made reality frequently. Pochettino is probably not as unlikely as some think, but of course he's going to need assurances before risking his reputation turning up at the managerial graveyard that is VP.

For Villa to progress, we are going to need some unlikely things happen to get past the glass ceilings we'll come up against. It's a challenge for the owners to demonstrate that they can make this happen. They lost their first major battle with not being able to keep Joe. It's time for them to show they mean business with making Villa a force and not just a club happy to be in the EPL.

[PaulTheVillan]

We want Poch. We want Poch.


Oh no. Southgate.

[LeonW]

We want Poch. We want Poch.


Oh no. Southgate.

Jesus. I'd rather have McLeish than Southgate.
