Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[PaulWinch again]

All about opinions, but Dyche would be the absolute death of any ambition.

[ozzjim]

As I said, going in for Beale makes more sense than Dyche.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

If I can’t dream big with 2 multi billionaires in charge when can I. Dyche oh dear.

[Allan C]

All about opinions, but Dyche would be the absolute death of any ambition.

Absolutely 100% this. I genuinely can’t comprehend that some are even suggesting him

[ChicagoLion]

We have to be honest. We're 4th from bottom. We're not going to get elite managers based on our current position.

This is down to Purslow and the owners, they let this situation get out of hand and now we look like a basket case.

He kept Burnley up on a limited budget, if we go for Dyche then we know the plan.

[Clark W Griswold]

I don't get the hatred for Dyche either. He worked wonders at Burnley and over a long period, not just breifly. The problem is, the football is crap and thugish. Would i want him at Villa right now? God no. If we take a punt on some supposed 'cultured' manager who has been good for about 5 minutes but hasn't faced the kind of pressure and goldfish bowl he'd have at the Villa, tasked with sorting this lot out and we end up getting relegated, i'd take Dyche in a shot to get us back up and stabilised.

[Rigadon]

The squad we had in our relegation season was the worst I can remember.  It was devoid of talent and had players with shocking attitudes.  The current squad is miles, miles better.  We don't need a 'relegation battle specialist'.  We need a great manager who can get us back into European football. 

[cdbearsfan]

Exactly.

[dave shelley]

I’m in the “wouldn’t totally hate Dyche” camp.

I pitched the tents.

Survival, which really is the opposite to the plan I thought they had in mind.

I think he could and should have gone earlier but we’re hardly cut adrift at the bottom of the league and I’m not getting the basket case thing.
7 points from 7th, string a few wins together and we’ll be on the move, there’s a lot of mediocrity this season including us. Get someone in who has a semblance of instilling a bit of confidence and knows what they’re doing and we can get the season back on track.

[Mister E]

Are we prepared to wait till the World Cup and potentially write off the games before?

Definitely not! Get them in next week, give them the remaining pre-WC games to assess and make some tweaks; getting the new-manager bounce. Then, use the WC to properly re-set.

[pomegran]

The statement “wouldn’t totally hate Dyche” I think is bang on. I want us to be more ambitious, but the position we're in ... he may be what we need.

I'm just being a realist.

Totally agree but if it meant getting your top choice or a higher calibre manager.
