No to Frank or the Southampton Manager or any Manager who has done well at his current club for 1 season and is currently flavour of the month, and NO assistant Managers to Klopp or Guardiola etc...

We need the very best Manager available - the owners promised us the best when we got promoted, now is the time to show us - in the words of Big Ron "Don't tell me SHOW ME!"

I like Bielsa.

But these players aren’t cut out for working hard.

A quality appointment who can create a coherent attacking structure and plan in the team. I’d be delighted with Pochettino, but would be amazed if it happened.

We don’t need some fucking relegation specialist - there is plenty of time and essentially a mini preseason coming up.

Out of interest, I wonder who applied last time around but didn't get it?

I know it's only a daft BBC poll, but as at 07:00 Sean Dyce is leading - who the hell has voted for that?

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'd add Vieira to the list above Frank. However, in my opinion, it's time to being in a proven winner; whatever the cost of doing so. That means it has to be someone from CD's "Fuck, Yes" list.

What if none of the managers you have listed want to come? It’s not the boards fault if they say thanks, no thanks. It’s not as simple as saying I want Pochettino, and that’s that.

I wondered this, can they use the internet though?

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.
I agree with this list & also think, of the middle group, Bielsa would be top. Bielsa, Frank, Hassenhuttl, Rodgers - that order of preference.
