Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[LeeB]

That's a shite poll Jon, who I want and who I think will get the job are two different people

[PeterWithesShin]

Who people want, and who they think it will be, could well be 2 very different answers.

[brontebilly]

An inexperienced coach, like Postecoglou, would be best brought in at the end of a season. With a full pre season to work with the DOF on recruitment and the players on tactics/fitness etc. I think the situation we are in now requires a very experienced coach so we have to start with Poch, Tuchel and Mancini. Probably end up with Rodgers but I don't think he would he the worst shout either.

Clearly wants out of Leicester but is a very good coach when backed financially. That Brent esque stuff he comes out with is nauseating but it's on the pitch that matters. Very good track record improving and developing young players too.

I sincerely hope the owners are asking very hard questions of the likes of Purslow and Lange too. The club has been a complete shambles on and off the pitch since Grealish left.

[Dante Lavelli]

Surprised that Gallardo is not being linked as he leaves River Plate in a month or so. Does he already have a club lined up?

[ozzjim]

Tbf if the choice was Rodgers, Frank or Dyche, Rodgers wins hands down

[cdbearsfan]

Can we have a poll?

Done

Why have you missed off the favourite? Also Pochettino and Tuchel have effectively ruled themselves out. And why is Southgate on there? Ideally we need different votes for who we think it will be and who we want.

Back to the drawing board, mate.

Yep, I want Poch but we will get Dyche.

[Scott Nielsen]

Seems unlikely to me that Poch, at this stage of his career, has the hunger to take on a big rebuild project. He will want to wait for Real or Barcelona or something like that.

Aren’t they all rebuild projects when a new manager comes in? Rarely does a manager join when things are going well and he says let’s keep it all the same. And at the top of the game it’s always a huge financial and human capital undertaking for the club. The cost of failure.

I meant at Villa it's not just rebuilding the squad (though that will be daunting enough) but we also need a club structure to support it. A competent DoF. A competent Head of Recruitment. And for those two to build out successful organizations while keeping a overreaching CEO in check.

For these reasons I don't think we are so appealing for a manager who has already reached a certain level of success and undoubtedly believes he has earned the right to manage only the very top clubs. You don't want "projects" anymore.

Imanol Alguacil?

[Broadlee]

well by strange coincidence I was talking to a chap I know who worked in Portugal with their coaching setup and a few clubs, he is fully badged and holds Brazilian coaching qualifications also.
We were talking about Villa, inevitably, and he threw the name Ruben Amorim into the conversation. He suggested he would be a good fit for a Premier club. I immediately said Wolves and he said any including AV.
He is apparently a great coach, knowledgeable and creative would definitely fit the role at Villa.
He would be exciting for a big club with a project like AV.

Now I see the Express & Star on the case..

Seems to be a good candidate.
Anyone else know of him?

[LeeB]

The bloke that wrote The Thick of It?

[olaftab]

One of those: talksport understands Pochettino has ruled himself out of the vacant managerial position at Aston Villa.

[Mister E]

Emery for me

Yes, I think this is the most realistic candidate of the top tier of options.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Paulie, here's your answer..

I went to Lisbon to cover Sporting v Tottenham and came away very impressed by Amorim and his team. Speaks good English and a great style about him

[cdbearsfan]

Emery or Amorim would be excellent.
