If the best we can do is shit coat, we'll all be having this same discussion in 12 months.

In the words of John Otway. Sort of.
Really Poch, really Poch  really really really Poch, take Poch.
This is Aston Villa though and I think it will be Dyche. In our dreadful position currently I wouldn't be 100% against him coming in.

We've played eleven games, we are one good month away from the European places. We are hardly cut adrift. Sean Dyche, FFS.
As I said I'd absolutely love Poch to come as I think we can match his ambition.

Emery is the gettable, realistic option  who has  the experience and nous to meet our current needs.
From Villareal to the Real Villa.

More I read about him, more I am sure he would be the best fit.

Why do people keep mentioning Poch when he's already ruled himself out?

Maybe he'll do a Ron Atkinson and do a last minute u-turn. I mean, ffs, the whole country is in a friggin' u-turn mode after all ...

I would like Pottichino , but looks like a non starter. If we can get Ruben Amorim or Unai Emery I wouldn't be disappointed and shows a bit of ambition.
Sean Dyche !!! To quote/paraphrase an Old Tommy Docherty joke.
"Saint John's ambulance would run on the pitch when the full time whistle blows , to stretcher the match ball off ."

I wouldn't be too disappointed if we appointed Emery but only if we fail to land one of the bigger hitters on our list. As for Sean Dyche- never in a million years. I hope and pray our owners  wouldn't consider him for even a nano second. Why anyone would think he's what we need right now is baffling. Who else? Big Sam? Steve Bruce?

The dynamic is always the same when we change manager.

A few days in, you get people starting to sink towards the previously unthinkable.

Dyche is the new Allardyce in that dynamic.

Who are the bigger hitters than Emery? After Poch and Tuchel ruling themselves out, I'd put Emery in line after Amorim

On the other hand, he may have a few scruples!

There must be a reason why Sean Dyche hasn’t been snapped up by one of the clubs currently looking for a new manager?

Yes, he’s not very good and plays horrible football.
