Roberto Martinez might be an outside bet. 
Nooooooo….fucking NO.

At least Wolves have said they're sticking with Davis until the new year.

He'd want to go to Qatar with Belgium.

It has to be someone who makes people take us seriously

Anything less and people will stop believing any of the ambition talk

Last time we could have got away with appointing a Frank type person but we spun the wheel on Steven and now we can’t show anything less than absolute ambition

I feel the same about the Danish National Manager to my friend.

I would hope we get the manager in ASAP. And it would make sense from a timing standpoint. Gets to look at what we have before the WC. Goes to the WC and looks at some players. Comes back and spends some money.

We could do a lot worse than Steffen Baumgart. As a FC Koln fan I'd hate to see him leave them, but if he could do for us what he's done for them then that'll do nicely. He took them from having only avoided relegation in 20/21 by the play off, to 7th and a Europa Conference place in 21/22, in his first season there. Koln's a similar size club to Villa and have also punched below their weight for far too long. And I'm sure the fans would love him - he's a real character.

The Athletic have named Thomas Frank as under consideration. May I be the first to say screw that noise.

He can only come as assistant to Dean Smith.
Norwich can have Critchley.
