Next Manager Speculation/Hopes

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Portuguese press are reporting that he's not going anywhere so not sure what this telegraph article is all about really.
I imagine we'll find out tomorrow what's happening with him

No, we'll find out Wednesday night after their game with Spurs. There's nothing in the Portuguese press other than he's not going to discuss it. He's focused on the next game that could possibly put Sporting into the knockout stages of the CL. With the players out injured, I don't see it happening. That said, he believes his squad is seamless and he can swap one player for another and you won't note the difference as that's how he's coached and prepared them.

I think there is always an element of agents using a situation elsewhere to big up their clients. Start a rumour that an ambitious PL club like us is sniffing around and it raises the profile and might make some 'bigger' clubs act in case they miss the boat.

You’ve sold him to me RCF, I can wait until after Wednesday

I was listening to a podcast and it would seem as though there are 3 or 4 top managers who would be interested in (Poch, Tuchel, the Sporting Manager) after those we are then looking at the likes of Dyche etc

There is not a great pool of talent to chose from after the big hitters! and it appears as though none of those are wanting the Villa job. (I dont know why - best club in the world, what more can they want!)

We maybe like Wolves, keep Danks until after the world cup to see which National team manager then becomes available.

[Rico]

And we all know which former international manager we'll get: Southgate!

[ozzjim]

Southgate would be loathed here, both because he's a monumental knob, but also because he is a very, very poor football manager.

Martinez the same. Awful manager.

There are others. Svenson at Mainz, Knutsen etc. Christ I'd take Dyche over Soutgate and Martinez.

[Delboy Villan]

Saw a rumour mentioning Kompany?? Doing well at Burnley apparently and guess who his first team coach was at Anderlecht? One Mr Danks?

[ozzjim]

I wouldn't be averse to Kompany, he's doing well and like said, clearly a fan of Danks.

[algy]

Can't profess to have heard of Amorim before the last few days, but RCF has sold him to me (if he'll come, of course). Sounds a brilliant manager.

Wouldn't overly bother me if we kept Danks as caretaker manager for a bit at the moment. Needs more evidence to back it up, but he's made a great start.

Not as against Dyche as some on here. Wouldn't be my choice, but I think he's a good manager - just not one I'd particularly like to see at Villa.

[sid1964]

To have hopes of Poch, Emery and then decide on Kompany, Dyche, Frank for me that would be so disappointing and typical of Villa

[chrisw1]

The points some of you made about Amorim the other day have persuaded me he could be a great option.  I still feel it's a gamble, but a very exciting one if we can get him.  (There was no news on this at all)

[Axl Rose]

Southgate....

I'd rather have Eric Black with Gerrard as assistant.

[Meanwood Villa]

Are these rumours of us talking to Kompany true? Even less experienced than Gerrard.

This is me, completely sold on Amorim from what RCF has said. Its only one game against a team that can’t buy a win away from home, but having the Dyche style of play with those players would be a case of needles in the eyes.

[Mister E]

I wouldn't be averse to Kompany, he's doing well and like said, clearly a fan of Danks.

Would you be happy that we experimented with another rookie manager?
Don't get me wrong, from what I've rad about Kompany, he sounds like a very plausible manager, but after rookie SG ...?
