Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Billy Walker]

I love the way all these people who haven't been offered the job are ruling themselves out.  I may as well officially rule myself out, while I'm here.

You could have posted this five minutes ago, before I wasted a tenner backing you on Skybet.

Fuck sake.  Billy Walker ruling himself out really does signify the end of days. 

Sorry guys!

I hate to say it, but it appears that the new manager circle is nearly complete.

I have been out all day today with the family and get back to see that there’s a growing acceptance on social media that Dyche would actually be ok.

We started off with Poch and optimism 48 hours ago. Numerous rejections later and it seems a good proportion of fans end up thinking that Dyche wouldn’t be too bad 48 hours later.

I love being a Villa fan, but for gods sake. Please not Dyche.

Dyche is giving me the shits

Beale has ruled himself out in the Evening Mail.

Cites issues with structure (vague but seems to be alluding to Lange), and the fact that his friends have lost their jobs.

Not that I think he either should or would be anywhere near the short list anyway.

I'm assuming Villa would have drawn up a short list of managers weeks ago and like signing a player sounded out potential interest. They wouldn't have waited until Gerrard was sacked to start the process.

I don’t think they had planned for this at all.
It was only when Swaris went ape that the new manager search was put in process.

You don't know that, you're just assuming.

Given the results so far this weekend, if we lose to Brentford, I suggest there being a sharp focus on who best to keep us up.

Give that guy a 2/3 year contract.

Get us to be a solid and respectable mid table team.

 Then go after the type of elite managers who seem to be turning us down now.

We have to accept that the only people who love the club as much as us, is, er, us. Therefore, the likes of Poch and Tuchel, from the outside looking in, see a very ordinary club who they wouldn't be interested in managing.  Amorim, let's be honest, most on here, including me, hadn't heard of until yesterday.  We have to accept that we are where we are and have to select someone who will help take us to the levels where Tuchel et al might be interested in the future.  Dyche is solid but completely uninspiring.  Rodgers seems broken at the moment but might be ok.  I have no faith in Purslow to bring in the type of Manager we can be really proud of.  That would be my first ask, may us a club to be proud of again because your last choice lost us some of that.

I wouldn’t panic, there’s 26/27 games left plus a mid-season break. We’ve got a decent squad and it shouldn’t be particularly difficult to turn it round.

it’s called conjecture

Hello, Nas here, is that Seán?

[Percy McCarthy]

Christ, 30m euros release for Amorim.

Football is f**king bonkers.

Personally, I think it’s more bonkers that top managers come way cheaper than top players.

I’ve seen quite a few Villa Managers come and goand I learnt early on beware of exciting appointments. In my case the best example was Tommy Doherty ,boy did we all rejoice when he arrived. No need to discribe what followed, many have come and gone since, and it is usually the uninspiring that have succeeded. So I’ll nail my mast to the sail and go with the unpopular choice of Sean Dyche.

Docherty was an overwhelming disappointment which has been repeated time and time again for me . Trying to judge new appointments is a real guessing game. I suspected the latest, Gerrard, would soon end in tears but then again I was underwhelmed by the appointment of Ron Saunders. Not many get it right at Villa do they?
