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.
Emery is the choice that fits between the 'big hitters' and the rest.

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 ...?

So is Amorim. I think the best solution for me would be Emery, but very little talk of that at the moment.

This stuff about national team managers being available after the World Cup. Are there any that we would want? International football is a different (and worse) game.

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

I saw that from...Football Indsider. Nailed on then.

I agree.  I'm not averse to having a rookie manager, but I'd be thinking more along the lines of Amorim - one who you could see a big club taking a risk on.  I'd see us as at least aspiring to be higher up the food chain than picking managers who'd won a title in a league that, if we're honest, probably takes less tactical ingenuity to win than the Championship *cough* Gerrard *cough*.

No thanks, I feel the same as you’ve said, International Football is a different game all together.

I just hope we appoint someone ASAP, as good as yesterday was I don't us want to wait around like those 70's throwbacks in Bilston.

I voted Emery fearing the worst eg Dyche, but I have been swayed by Amorim and will now be disappointed if we get Emery 🙄 Emery is the most successful but does have his poor fit moments such as Spartak, so if he comes I hope it doesn’t become one of those!
