Next villa manager?

Gareth Southgate

Would u really want lennon???

Peter Withe or Gordon Cowans?

moyes is the man...but will he leave sociedad so soon?

All the money for Sherwood again.

Sherwood very short . Can't even find any rumours that he the choice online , just 'he's the bookies favourite'

I can't see that they have anyone lined up as the board support for Lambert seemed pretty solid til this week .

There is no Pulis/Allardyce type saviour available . Then on the one hand you have people who would deffo take the job: desperate types like Hoddle who have done nothing for years . And the more up and coming likes of Sherwood,Howe etc .But is the job really that attractive for a manager that might get a better offer if they sat this out ? There is enough of the season left that someone coming in now would still be blamed if they went down , and the guy who makes the appointment could be out the door himself at any moment leaving them without a backer in the boardroom .

I've backed the Marshalls as the caretaker always overpriced as people don't understand the 10 game rule . I'd have thought saving money would be a priority as they apparently have to pay Lambert £10M .

If Sherwood doesn't take it within days then the Marshalls might be given a couple of winnable games ; do ok in those and they might decide to leave it to the summer when there will be more options.

Forget Harry he's out the game at the moment.non runner.

Avram Grant

Avram's a decent man and doesn't deserve to be sent to Villa.

Only a lunatic, would want to go to Villa

Stan Collymore might be the only man who would take it. Dalian Atkinson as his number 2.

Possibly get Danny Ings for free in the Summer too if they stayed up.

Posted this on another thread.
He was only 6 months into a £3m a year 4 year deal.
Due £10m but will probably have to settle for quite a bit less.
Not a bad payoff though as guaranteed a few mill whatever happens.

To be fair. With the money he has saved on goal and win bonuses Villa can easily afford to pay him off.

The money spent to pay off Lambert will be the best money Villa have spent for some time

it's like a game of musical chairs - they just keep swapping around

are any actually ANY GOOD ?  is it just luck if a manager has a good run - do players try more for certain managers ?

if so get in some friendly bloke or fan to have a chat with the players at HT etc

he did as well as could be expected taking over a hospital pass at spurs mid season. 42 points from 22 games. picked bentaleb in his first game and he's been a virtual ever present since

granted different kettle of fish at villa who are about as low as any football club could possibly be at the moment

Surely can't do any worse than Lambert.

I wouldn't argue with that.

Because, like Lambert, he pi sse d off several senior players Lloris, Vertonghen, Sandro....my lasting impression is him sitting in the directors box whilst Spurs were getting tonked 4-0 at Anfield then afterwards saying there was no point him being on the touchline and he gets a better view
