Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[LeeB]

There's absolutely no way on earth Dyche is getting the job.

No

I also don’t want Dyche. For many obvious reasons. But also because it avoids Jack Woodward’s first question being

“Sean, welcome to Aston Villa. You’ve swapped the claret and blue of Burnley for the claret and blue of Aston Villa. How do you feel?”

Aaaaargh! I was irritated just reading it!

Me too. Do you write Woodward's questions for him  TV?

No, it's SE, but he's trying to distance himself from it now

Dyche would be as popular as Mcleish was on arrival. Utter fucking cluster fuck of an appointment if we went that way. Ooo your friends got a lovely new game boy... We got you one to, look you can write on it with these chalks. That's how bad Dyche would be.

Could use one of your caravans 😉

I think it’s shaping up to be Thomas Frank. That way we can bid for Toney in January who will of course come to us and become an instant flop within a month.

I completely refute this.

Anyway, Lee, you're on record as saying that you like chips. How much of a factor are potatoes and hot oil in the making of chips?

[Brazilian Villain]

Can you believe they put it on Steven Wonder's Greatest Hits? Keeps popping up again when in my missus car

I bet it does. Good work on the 'Ebony and Ivory' gag as well.

[LeeB]

It's true, everyone likes chips. I will work hard every day to help the club like more chips

And you have to read it in Jack’s voice with that stupid fucking smile on his face.

I’m surprised not really seen any mention of the Celtic guy Ange P….not that I want any other manager from those two clubs but thought he’d be mentioned.

I’m just hoping for a manager not obsessed with 433 like the last two.

Bielsa would be guaranteed relegation, we’d be on our arses after 30 minutes every week playing Bielsa way.

I mentioned him a while back and like his football, pacey and stylish. However, coming from Scotland and in light of what has just happened patience will be very thin amongst the fanbase, and understandably so.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Anyone mention Joachim Low and his “unusual” habits during a game yet?

Last time out, he was constantly mentioned…

[Mister E]

Emery or Amorim would be excellent.

Get them both.

Emery or Amorim live together in perfect harmony

Ha ha,  he cant help being jolly

as long as he has washed his hands

As I say on a semi-regular basis, Purslow thought that Roy Hodgson was the right manager for Liverpool so Dyche to Villa is well within his wheelhouse.

Some sick just came info the back of my mouth.

But the talk is the owners are picking this time.....

Yeah been said by a couple of decent journos that owners are picking. Really hoping this means that they may be considering director of football role to be implemented as well

What is the difference between a director of football and the sporting director role that Lange has? For me that's pretty much the same job with a different name.

Lange runs the transfers essentially and Purslow everything else.

What I'm hopeful of is that Purslow is bought out or fired, or at very least is moved into a role where he has no input into anything to do with the football side of things and that we get a proper sporting director who would make the bigger football decisions.
