Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Risso]

Bielsa took a couple of years to get Leeds really firing, and we just haven't got that much time. Plus despite his reputation he's won pretty much fuck all anywhere despite a 30 year coaching career. And he doesn't speak English, and there's the bucket thing. No thank you very much.

Summary for me:

THE VILLA, FUCK YEAH!

Mauricio Pochettino
Thomas Tuchel
Unai Emery
Antonio Conte (don't know why he would consider it, but just mentioning him because he is listed among the favourites so maybe someone knows something I don't)

Underwhelmed, but I suppose I would give them a chance

Thomas Frank
Ralph Hassenhuttl
Marcelo Bielsa
Brendan Rodgers

Seriously considering packing it in and spending my weekends doing heroin, instead

Sean Dyche
John Terry
Thierry Henry
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Michael Beale
Scott Parker
Dean Smith (sorry Deano, but it's time to move on)

I'd have Bielsa and Rodgers in a higher separate group above Frank and the other one

I think Rodgers is right where he is. Meh.

Bielsa would be my favourite out of the middle group. It could be brilliant, it could be disastrous. It wouldn't be boring. It would be like having Traore back, but in bucket-sitting manager form.

Yeah, I'd be up for that. We're better when we're freewheelin'

Actually, that reminds me. I'm gonna give our Bertrand a ring and see if he fancies coming back now the bloody Fun Police has fucked off. Good times are coming back.

And I don’t think for a second he’s managing another English club. He won’t be able recreate what he did at Leeds. If he manages again, he is 67, it be closer to home.

I'd certainly have him here over Bailey. You get about the same level of defensive discipline, but with the added benefit of actually beating a player and scoring goals. And I don't even know who his dad is, let alone have to read his nonsense in the papers.

[villadelph]

Mancini can’t be that busy this time of year..

[Malandro]

Pochettino or Tuchel.

Please not Emery.

[cdbearsfan]

Emery is pretty good, isn't he?

[OzVilla]

I'd love to be wrong but have a feeling we'll be disappointed if we think we'll be landing an MON style coup manager.

I've always felt Rodgers could do a good job for us but wonder if he's damaged goods. No to Bielsa, Frank - would almost rather someone more left field from Germany/Spain but that's failed before too.

We have everything you'd want as a manager if you knew you weren't getting a top 6 job - would take Poch in a heartbeat but Villa is a tough gig and I do wonder if our reputation as a career killer is so strong it put these candidates off.

Yes. Looking forward to see Traore, Guilbert and Sanson (even Naka to a degree despite his limitations) re-integrated and actually getting a chance to play. Is Bert gone til Jan or next season?

[Hillbilly]

Get ex River Plate player JP Angel to have a word with soon to leave Gallardo. Job's a gud'un.

[jwarry]

Pochettino or Tuchel.

Please not Emery.

What the guy who’s won more trophies than the other two put together?

[Goldie.7]

16/1 Sean Dyche? Phew!

[ChicagoLion]

Emery is pretty good, isn't he?

You are awful, but I like you.

Because we have left this situation drift out of control, we are now hiring for survival instead of ambition.
The writing was on the wall at the end of last season, The Bournemouth match and everything that went on then confirmed it.
Yet it has taken more money and more pain to turn the season into a relegation scrap.
What a fuckin way to run a Football club.
