I hope the board aren't listening to fans suggestions. Big Sam LOL bare in mind a lot of his "success" may well have involved 'dodgy' dealings as per the video expose. Look at the players that bowled up at Bolton. Plus its a complete non-starter as he's under investigation from the FA. He'll be happy in retirement on the Costa Del Sol having full English breakfasts every morning.
Logical choice is Bruce. Ex-Blues connection kind of irks me though, I don't know why, I don't live in the area or give a shit about them, but it seemed he was there for ages
Dean Smith, what are his credentials beyond sweeping the terraces at Villa Park?
Wagner....would take time which we probably wouldn't give him, our fat over the hill players hardly suited to his style. Although I'll admit it would be LOL derailing the Huddersfield train.
