Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Londonvilla]

It's a bit long but .......sign him now

Frank would be harder to get than Amorim according to a few journalists, not entirely sure why.

I agree with that. PL contracts are tougher to break with lot of compensation involved whereas  decent overseas coaches will walk over hot coals to get here. Not just for the regard of the League but also the welfare of their wallet.

Ha! Amorim has the most expensive but out clause for any manager in the world. As already pointed out today, I don't believe personal financial gain will be anywhere near the top of his list. Stop reading the Daily Express, Olaftab!

Hahaha..you have sussed me out nicely RCF. I have just been outside to see if you are looking through the back fence.
By the way how much is the buy-out?

Thirty million of your favourite Euros.

So, you do know that we have the mighty pound and therefore 30M  of that foreign stuff is small change

Board need to show they mean business.
Poch is a known quantity in this league and a safer bet to improve things immediately.
Amorim is a riskier option but could be a transformational appointment for Villa. We’d be appointing a potentially elite manager on the up. He’d be mad to come here though.

Erm, Benitez?  He wouldn't would he?

I think the Danish national manager and Roberto Martinez should be on the list.

Gabby just tweeted that he did his coaching badges with Amorim.  Could that really be true?

Amorim did the coaching badges. Gabby just licked them.

Badges at cubs and beavers don't count, Gabby.

Can't see anyone leaving an international job if they've got a world cup around the corner

[PeterWithesShin]

The £2m we paid for McLeish is still in the top 30 fees paid for a manager in world football. So fees really aren't that high.

As an aside, what we paid for Action Man hair is the 12th highest.

Ouch! As mentioned elsewhere third highest was 16 games under his belt Amorim from Braga to Sporting for €10m.

5th on the list I looked at. Behind Rodgers (Leicester) AVB and Potter to Chelsea, and most expensive so far is Nagelsmann. Rodgers is also joint 8th (Liverpool).

With the dollar so strong it's peanuts for our owners.

Agreed but I wonder if they might leave Danks in charge until afterwards, given the break and all that. 

[pauliewalnuts]

Pochettino and Tuchel aren't going to come by the looks of it.

I hope we react to that by looking for other optimistic, progressive punts rather than retracting to Dyche.

Like when we failed to get Martinez so appointed McLeish. On a style level, an absolutely asinine decision.

[N'ZMAV]

I don't like Tuchel, so pleased about that.

[CT Villan]

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

Last time out, he was constantly mentioned…

Henceforth we should refer to him as Tictacs Tim

[dave shelley]

If it was me I'd go all out to get the new man in asap and give him the WC break to work with the players that aren't going to be involved with their international teams and use the time for them to become conversant with his ideas and future playing style. *

* It won't be me.
