Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[brontebilly]

Everton appointed Ancelotti. We can appoint Pochettino. The desperation of some our own fans to talk us down is ridiculous. Maybe we have the team we deserve.

James Rodriguez was their Coutinho, had to chase him out eventually. I can't see why the likes of Poch or Tuchel wouldn't be interested. If our owners are still keen on filling out a 60k capacity stadium then the playing squad needs sustained investment over a number of years. It's a good gig.

Rumour is Poch turned us down.

I would love him but he turned Newcastle down because they didn't have a "clear vision".

I dread to think what he'd make of us then

I think a lot of that was timing though, he was in the middle of an unexpected run to the Champions League knock out stages with Villareal, had that not been the case I think he'd have gone.

He's clearly a talented guy, but I've said before I think he'll struggle again in the UK because he comes across a little bit ridiculous in English, his thin reedy voice and appearance kind of undermines his role. I know that sounds shallow and shouldn't matter but it does.

This is absolutely ridiculous. It matters to you for some bizarre reason

You might be on to something. You never see/hear a successful manager with a squeaky voice. Alan Ball, Emlyn Hughes, Peter Shreeves. Erm, Gerrard… all shit. And no wonder Carragher sticks to punditry

It matters in the image concious world we live in, and characteristics will be viewed differently in different cultures.

I'm not at all saying it's right or fair, but we don't live in a world that is right or fair.

...and look what happened there, he tipped off as soon as a more lucrative offer came along.

[lovejoy]

As ever with this debate we wont know if it worth sticking or twisting until we know who the new guy is.

For instance if I were offered Lampard, Southgate, Dyche I'd stick.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Julen Lopetegui turned down Wolves as he wants the Villa job?

In what universe would we be limited to those three?

Yes, sure. But that isn't relevant in discussing whether Villa could appoint a similar big name, which was what was being debated.

Also I'm not sure on which planet some people seem to think Southgate is going to be unemployed soon. Unless there is some sex/bung/slagging off disabled people scandal that I don't know about.
