Cliffy Biro Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've gone from elated to petrified that Lerner is on another manager hunt. Hope to god he isnt reading threads like this, had to do the cartoon rub the eyes thing when i saw a genuine suggestion for Curbishley. Who would your suggestion be? I dont really have a good suggestion off the top of my head. Does that mean i cant laugh at all the ridiculous suggestions? Or are Neil Lennon, Alan Crubishley or Nigel Adkins good suggestions? I'm half expecting someone to mention Roy Keane at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm relieved Lambert is gone although I never disliked him but I'm now terrified of who the brain of Lerner will come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I Would love Laudrup with Laursen.Cesare Prandelli is another one I like gets the best out of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitsend Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 If Hoddle does end up working under Lerner's financial constraints then it's because of crimes he committed in a past life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I'm terrified that it might be Hoddle. I really, really dislike him. His record isn't that bad. And all the teams he managed played good football. When did he last manage a team in the top division? Genuine question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazvfc Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 apparently Big Sam is a local and may be interested in the villa job? He wanted the job when Lerner first took over. He approached the advisors but they wanted MON. He's from Dudley and has a soft spot for villa. He's got wet spam playing some good stuff! Funny though before lambert was sacked we all said anyone will do and could do no worse but now we can't even agree amongst ourselves!!! I'd like fatih Tarim or Murat yakin but that's me being biased cod they are Turkish!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuck Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Bring in someone who knows the club until the end of the season I reckon. What's Brian Little up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Shame Pardew is taken I feel he'd be really good at managing a team like ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 A few years ago a poster on here (or another Villa site) who knew Allardyce, said that he would walk to Villa Park from Bolton for the job. Not always been a big fan of his football, especially his spell at Blackburn but i think he would connect well with the fans, and he has done a reasonable job at Bolton and West Ham, after being badly treated by Newcastle. Dont think he will be coming anyway. Hoddle is well past it, though he briefly had Swindon playing superb stuff years ago. We may only get a short term appointment. The Middlesborough manager Karanca? would be a decent long term bet. But we cant afford any more mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Now, Tim Sherwood is clearly a big penis. BUT, he's so damn cocksure of himself, I think he would motivate our side quite well and probably keep us up. I'm not a fan though, and I think it would turn bitter at some point - probably early next season. Seeing how he's turned down QPR for money reasons and I remember him refusing the Spurs job unless he got an 18 month deal, there's no way he'd come here til just the end of the season. Definite no to: Hoddle, Southgate, Laudrup, Klinsmann. Wouldn't mind Warburton, Lennon (arse of a man, but he'd be our arse) or Dyche. I do think though from all mentioned so far, Sherwood would be our best chance of survival, despite the grim prospects going forwards. Prandelli wouldn't come here, we're a risk for any foreign coach because they probably CBA with fighting to get out of the Championship. Would be a fan of any from Paco, Yakin, Garde, Galtier could we persuade them. I actually think, because of the money in this league, we could be quite an attractive proposition, should they trust themselves to save us.

CrackpotForeigner Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Now, Tim Sherwood is clearly a big penis. So by the logic you used to propose Lennon, Sherwood would be our big penis not sure if that sounds good or bad. probably bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted February 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've got chills down my spine thinking of Neil Warnock. Lerner would run from him in terror. There are a few things even Lerner has an accurate perception of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieZ Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Klinsmann, Bradley or Arena I presume if it is true that Fox is in the U.S. at the moment? I would suggest that doesn't mean much. If anything, it's possible he's picking Klinsmann's brain about potential managerial choices. Klinsmann's in the middle of a project with the national team and he loves life in L.A.; throwing that away for a high risk position in sunny Birmingham doesn't seem very likely to me.

I'd like fatih Tarim or Murat yakin but that's me being biased cod they are Turkish!! I'd take Big Sam in a heartbeat. Contract with West Ham runs out in summer as well, so could be had for limited compo. He'd have to bring Sheringham as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Wanted Big Sam when we got Lambert. Underrated, reckon he'd be a good match for Villa, done a cracking job at WHU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
