Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Someone who I haven't seen mentioned and isn't in the betting markets, is Andres Villas-Boas, last heard of at Marseille.  He left them last year after publicly complaining about their transfers.

I don't know if he's a complete busted flush - he finished 2nd and 5th with Marseille, and his name does sort of poetically match ours...Andres Villas Boas = Aston Villa Boss?

[cdbearsfan]

He does have a great name for us. Wouldn't be my top choice but ask me in a week if all the remaining candidates are shit and I might bite your hand off.

Managed Kamara and Sanson at Marseille too.

The fact that Dyche is even being discussed makes me nauseous.

Last time I heard of Villas Boas he was competing in the Dakar Rally.

Peter Bosz (the Dutch lad in talks recently with the Tatters) managed Bailey at Leverkusen. Not reason in and of itself to consider him for this gig, but a degree of success with Ajax and Leverkusen. Not so great spells at Dortmund and Lyon.

Was thinking about him today but a 2nd and 5th place finish is decent even if it’s the Championat. He should be a consideration at least.

Good prep for the hotseat at B6

I would rather Beale than Dyche

[john e]

Sporting at Tottenham on Wednesday. I could imagine us meeting Amorim that night or on Thursday, if he hasn't ruled himself out by then.

I can just imagine that

‘ where are you off to Rube’
Oh just popping out for a little walk won’t belong but don’t wait up

So would I. I know Dyche’s ceiling, I don’t know Beale’s.

I mentioned him last time and 11 months on he is still doing a good job at Mainz 05.
Bo Svensson played under both Klopp and Tuchel. He came into Mainz and saved them from near certain relegation.
They are playing tonight, winning 3-0 at the moment which takes them up to 3rd in the Bundesliga.

[ozzjim]

Amazed he's not in the bookies odds, unless he's nailed on for Dortmund or Bayern

We have arranged to meet him incognito in a nearby owl sanctuary.
