If we do get Dyche in, please do it on a season long contract. So we can see how he goes and avoid an expensive sacking.

Seven days would be too long, Frank. I honestly don't understand how his name is even being mentioned for the job other than by Gerrard's mates in the media wanting to spank us into our rightful place for sacking him.

I agree.

Granted i wasn’t it paying too much attention but i don’t remember Dyche being linked with the Brighton job. They seen to know what they want in terms of a football style and go out and get it done, obviously don’t know if the current bloke will be a success or not, but point stands, they wouldn’t
 of considered Dyche seemingly.

Ive got nothing against Dyche personally, quite like his no nonsense interviews and the fact he often got results against the sky super six, but we simply have to be more ambitious.

I understand we’re not a draw for the big superstar names like Poch or Tuchel, but theres different kinds of ambition, a distinct playing style that has had success would be a start.

Put it another way, if Dyche was named the new manager of Wolves we'd all be pissing ourselves laughing.

Hopefully it’s all as RCF says and not true. He seems so far off the original project it has to be false. Although Gerrard also was miles off the plan, but a project that Purslow must have pushed and convinced the owners to go for.
The project fucked off up the M6 mate and hasn’t   been seen since.

Moyes has barely had a mention in the media or amongst Villa fans, I wonder if we could prise him away from West Ham

If Dyche was appointed - it would be the end of CP

As soon as a bad run of results happened it would turn on him

The more I think about it the more I think the issue is CP and CL. 

The mess of a squad is as much there fault as SG

Also - if we’re going for proven - then rogers is just as proven but a lot more palatable

I was really hoping we had a replacement already signed and sealed after the quick dismissal after the Fulham game.

I had hoped it would be Poch, but can’t see that now.

I hope we don’t go for say a Benitez or Dyche, but someone who is still current and also coming with some experience thrown in.

So the same as we had when MON was appointed, Rodgers perhaps or Emery.

Perhaps Danks gets us the win today and he stays…. Or we could go left field and get Mellberg in for the rest of the season.

Looking at the bookies though Amorim seems odds on at the moment.

As of now, assuming no chance for a Poch or Tuchel, my top three pics would be: Emery, Amorin (more out of hope that they have their homework done so he must be good) and Rodgers (as the fairly safe bet experience wise etc).

One of the villa podcasts was bigging  up Peter Bosz but I don't know enough about him.

Yeah think that is a sensible list and reasoning

Bosz doesn't seem to last very long anywhere.

One major potential downside of Brendan Rodgers getting the job would be 2-3 years of people calling him ‘Rogers.’

I agree it did with the appointment of Gerrard, but I believe a series of things happened with that appointment. I’m sure that was down to the owners trusting and being convinced by Purslow who obviously had massive belief and faith in Gerrard. He got it wrong but I do believe he was fully convinced himself that Gerrard was the real deal and that he was a huge appointment for us and not just his mate from his Liverpool days.

I hope we’re back on track and they will show their ambition and get the show back on the road. I’m not believing that they have given up.

Mellberg would be the worst idea ever. Only managed small Scandinavian teams, and hasn't been in work for two years.

Would love Pochettino and think Villa should be trying to move heaven and earth to get him. Failing that Roberto Mancini might be available and would be a fantastic appointment imo.  Biesla would be entertaining. Definitely don't want any more managers from Scotland or the EFL.

This next appointment is crucial,  but knowing Villa it will probably be John Terry or Wayne Rooney.

Hasn’t he turned us down twice already?
