bobzy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I know I'll get slaughtered for the suggestion, but I'd like McCarthy if he'd come. Very good manager, and criminally underrated by many. Very capable of playing to the strengths of the players at his disposal - look at how well his Irish side played the game; gorgeous football when possible, resilient stuff when necessary Not sure about him to be honest, as I said earlier I'd like Sean Dyche. At least we would play with some urgency and passion I think he has worked wonders at Burnley with a crappy budget. Gary Rowett too has impressed me, he was great at Burton and I cant believe how well he has done with Small Heath since he went there. The game that summed it up for me was their FA cup game. 2-0 down at half time and turned it round, obvioulsy his half time team talk had an effect something which Lambert clearly lacks in. sometimes I wonder if Lambert says anything at half time Whilst the point is valid, I doubt there'd be anyone happy with a managerial appointment from League Two (at the time) who is only in his 3rd season as a football manager.

Stevo985 Posted January 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12, 2015 We're judging Rowett over such a short period of time though. Plenty of managers go through purple patches where they are the flavour of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine McCarthy would go down too well either. Problem with Villa is that I cant see us being able to attract a top level coach, the club is a shambles to be honest. Dreadful chairman, fans turning on the manager, the manager totally changing our style of play after watching Bayern Munich train for a couple of days, the assistant manager fiasco's with Culverhouse, Karsa and Keane and former players slagging off Lambert in the media. Any outsider looking in must wonder quite what the hell is going on at the moment. You really couldn't script it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) We're judging Rowett over such a short period of time though. Plenty of managers go through purple patches where they are the flavour of the month. Yes they do have purple patches I agree, we appointed one last time around. I cant think who would realistically want this job apart from a young up and coming manager Edited January 12, 2015 by KHV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Don't even get a new manager, just play without one. We won most of our league titles that way anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 steve McLaren for me. the guy knows europen football well, has prem experience, great coach, worked under ferguson, done the hard yards now in the championship. yes, steve McLaren please. Turned down (or, at least, outright rejected) a move to Newcastle. No chance he's coming here. If Pardew leaves Newcastle for Palace there must be something wrong with the Newcastle job. Bit like Villa an underachieving giant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
