Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[The Edge]

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.

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?

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

Just catching up. I didn't know Poch and Tuchel were ruled out. That's disappointing. I'd never heard of Amorim before yesterday. This feels like a huge moment inour history. Let's hope they get it right this time.

[Nii Lamptey]

Sean feckin Dyche - No thanks. That would be the end for me.

Absolutely no point talking about ambition or spending millions on superstar players if you're not going to invest in the top job. Poch or bust for me....

I think Amorim is risky, but I'd prefer to see him over Dyche or pretty much anyone else from the Manager Merry-Go-Round crew!

[Chris Smith]

There is nothing to suggest that they’ll go for Dyche from their previous appointments. Smith was clearly the right man at the right time and although Gerrard was a flop I don’t think he was given the job because they though he’d deliver old fashioned long-ball football. It’s still early enough the season for a more progressive manager to turn things around.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I’m not sure the World Cup is a good place to shop for managers. They’re either ones who didn’t quite cut it at club level (Southgate, Martinez) or in the waiting room for retirement.

I dont think it’s a case of actually shopping at the World Cup but it’s an obvious time where clubs will assess where they are and make moves for managers, not necessarily participating in the tournament. For instance Juve get rid of Allegri and appoint someone other than our preferred candidate then it’s one less club they can go to and makes us more appealing.

Talking of new managers I noticed Oldham appointed David Unsworth last month.  I assume it’s the same Unsworth we know and love?

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

they might try a man utd ralf rangnick situation and get a interim until the end of the world cup or end of the season. Might think there would be more availability. Poch may think fuck it, lets have it then.

[Goldenballs]

Emery would be my first choice now Poch and Tuchel don't seem up for it. But I think he's more than happy where he is.

I always used to play as Villareal in the master league in pro evo soccer as a kid.

[mrfuse]

Reports are that Aston Villa are said to be  ‘crazy’ about Sporting CP coach Rúben Amorim and see him as one of the best solutions to lead the team. Villa are not deterred by the €30m release clause and will ‘insist’ on getting him.

I don't really see the cost being an issue I mean you get a mediocre midfielder for that these days. yesterday I hardly knew anything about him today im thinking he sounds like the best man for the job after the other Managers that have turned us down.

I'm ready to get hurt again...

[N'ZMAV]

we won't pay that for a manager but we've wasted huge figures on strikers that are a bag of wank....

[Exeter 77]

Dyche would be a Lerner appointment after he had lost interest. Hassenhuttl would be an on-the-cheap Ellis type decision.

[Billy Walker]

Emery, for me, would be the one out of the three "elite" (I really don't like that term) options with the most motivation to succeed, given the way he was treated when at Arsenal.  A hungry, fired-up manager with a fantastic CV would tick an awful lot of boxes.   

Rúben Amorim would be a gamble - hugely exciting, yes, but a real punt.  I was reading about him today and the guy kind of reminds me of John Gregory, in the way he seems able to galvanise and get instant results from a team.  Because he is so inexperienced and has no long, detailed CV to pore over, it is hard to know how he would respond to a crisis or high pressure moments of media/fan scrutiny, though.  The weight of the "highest release clause" in history could very soon become a burden and a stick the UK media would use to beat both him and Aston Villa. If the punt actually paid off, however, it could be spectacular...

I hope Brian Little and other wise heads are being consulted.  Please Villa and football gods, let's get this call right.

[Exeter 77]

Rúben Amorim could go either way. It could be an inspirational appointment à la Klopp at Liverpool (I know he had a good record before but not at the level he's had with the Scousers) or it could be a Billy McNeil-like disaster.

[Allan C]

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.

That’s the kind of thinking that got us Steve Bruce. I just hope the owners have got a bit more ambition then that

What is?

I wonder what the likes of Cortinho and Buendia would think if Sean Dyche turned up at bodimore.
