I don't see how Dyche fits with our squad though. He's a hoof, hope and pray merchant. We already cross the ball to no one repeatedly. I think it would be a disaster.

Dyche would just confirm our total mediocrity for the last 10 years and more
and basically admit that’s where we see ourselves in the foreseeable

Yes, wash your mouths out and have a lobotomy before mentioning his name again

Yeah i'm sick of the Dyche stuff.

Anyway, i'm surprised Allardyce hasn't had a mention...

Or Curbs. And maybe we are luring Warnock out of retirement

This first 30 mins should put pay to any Dyche talk. This a squad that needs some attacking freedom and a coach who can deliver that.

Well said, mate.

Dyche would be an awful choice.

I also wonder if it will make one of these high profile guys we’re linked with realise there is a team worth managing

Exactly. Talk of survival, a relegation fight is nonsense, we have a bloody good squad, we just need somebody qualified to manage them.

It just highlighted why Dyche would be all wrong.

Silly Villa fans with ‘unreasonable expectations’. 

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2022/oct/21/steven-gerrard-aston-villa-sacking-leaves-him-further-from-liverpool-destiny-than-ever

He’s right about it being a managerial graveyard though.  But I’d say part of that is because we seem to take punts on managers more than appointing genuinely great ones.
"The expecttations of villa supporters are too high" - Oh okay so because we are Villa fans we shouldn't expect decent football and improving results - what an elitist load of cack...

Seriously, I'd like to know which Villa fans people like him speak to.  Myself and most I know accept that breaking the top six on a regular basis is going to be difficult and that a few seasons of finishing firmly inside the top ten is a realistic aim.  That and the proposed ground redevelopments  will hopefully then entice the quality we need to make that next step.

Given the money we have invested over the past few seasons I don't think those are unrealistic expectations really.

The best thing about today is that it eases the need to make a quick appointment, we can take our time and get it right.
