If i was Randy whilst obviously taking past experience and success into consideration i would be focusing on how the new manager would want to move villa forward.
During the interviews instead of people like rafa coming in and saying i've won this, this and this i'd want a candidate to be saying 'this is my vision' etc
Therefore i'd lke to see someone like Hughes, Martinez or coyle come in. A manager looking to define himself rather than a manager trying to repeat past glorys.
