Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Dave P]

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?

Salty Blues & WBA fans.

I wondered this, can they use the internet though?

If it involves Villa, they can do anything.

[Meanwood Villa]

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.

I don't want Bielsa but suggesting he wasn't an instant success just isn't true. They were third in his first season and champions the following one.

[Rigadon]

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.

It’s as simple as offering a massive wage and an enormous transfer budget.  If either of those things aren’t offered we will get Brendan Rogers or Thomas Frank. 

[Three Spires Villa]

Personally I don’t think it is. If he can wait for a club in a European competition rather than trying to build one who could be, might be a factor. Also what his wife family think. Wages at this level might not be a factor ( yes I know they won’t work for free) There could be a lot of factors to take into account

[Chris Smith]

Sacked on the same day Truss goes, can we make an appointment before the Tories elect their next simpleton?

Personally I think we’ve probably already approached one or two including Poch
I would love him but I don’t think he will be persuaded to come, it’s worth a go though for those that say why would he come to Aston Villa one word - money

We are constantly told that money is taking over at Football look at Man City Chelsea Newcastle all there club profiles have changed because of it well we’re right up there because of our owners anything is possible
But I fear with Poch he’s holding out for something else

I think we will go all out for poch or maybe even to Tuchel get knockback and end up with Rogers and round and round we’ll go
Last night will be repeated again about a year/18 months from now, Unless the owners really don’t take no for an answer

Maybe we need a manager to take the next step and get us to a position where the likes Poch would be interested, similar to Spurs getting Conte, maybe Rodgers could do that.

[Scott Nielsen]

I can't stand Rodgers but I certainly understand why he'd be included in the list. Why would Hasenhüttl be though? Or even Frank? Unless staying up on a small budget is the goal.

Really, have you looked at the league table

[Vegas]

Beale now favourite. Pretty underwhelming if that happens, but at least he seems like an actual coach, who thinks about tactics and man management. But a little bizarre to go back there.

Hope not. Another underwhelming inexperienced choice

[LukeJames]

Beale now favourite.

And so it begins.

[PaulWinch again]

An ambitious appointment with a proven record please.

I said “maybe” Rodgers, a manager who has managed in the premier league, won a trophy and has overall  had a good career. I’m not saying he is the answer or should get the job, but these are the criteria I would look at. Of course only an opinion

[TonyD]

So who at the club will be the person picking up the phone to talk to prospective new managers and land them?
