PieFacE Posted April 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2016 Rowett would be good. I'd like us to hire him. I believe there are some blues fans that want him out. Which is crazy, but I guess all football teams have idiots for fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Have to say I'm coming round to the idea of McCarthy. Wouldn't be one of my first choices but given that we're not in a very good position and the board seem insistent on having a British manager with Championship experience he'd be a decent option for that level. 1 hour ago, Grasshopper said: We can be resigned to the notion that Pearson or Carver will be the only ones who would take the job corrected just for you Can we?

What has he done to get him all these accolades and reputation? It would be a punt in the dark to appoint him. Would rather we go with someone who actually has got a team promoted from the Championship, not one who got beat 5-1 in the playoffs the only time they were in it.

Warburton did well with Brentford but would be such a ridiculous punt of an option. I can't believe he's being mentioned tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promotion from League 1 and then staright in to the playoffs with Brentfords budget was a great achievement. It didn't help Brentford when they announced his departure halfway through the season either as they may have got autommatic promotion. His teams are exciting and very attack minded which would be great as Villa are probably the most boring team on the planet to watch and have been for the majority of the last 4-5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think given it is a new board that that will not be a consideration. Having Brian Little involved will also make it less of a consideration. The only thing Rowett has going for him is he is a Villa fan. Still totally unproven and is used to small clubs. We need a manager who is used to pressure and has a proven track record. I also want a manager that can do both get us and keep us there we need stability and forward planning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has them in the cup semi against Celtic too. And the manner in which Rangers have played has to be taken iinto account, it's not a great Rangers team but 116 goals in 43 games is pretty impressive even though the league is not that great.

BOF Posted April 7, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 7, 2016 "Yeah but it's Rangers" "Yeah but he's doing well" Fact is they're both true. Warburton is doing well. Very well. He has them pissing the league but they are buying from the top league. They (and most in that league) know they're only passing through. But he is doing it with a swagger. It's basically impossible to accurately assess just how well he's doing, given the enormous nature of that particular fish in that particular pond. But with that being said, he is IIRC 2nd or 3rd on my wishlist. Why he'd come here over a potential title challenge next season though I don't know. Plus sampling genuine Old Firm derbies as a peer rather than in a cup environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not. That Rangers team has vast amounts of ability compared to the other teams in that league. Even Martyn Waghorn looks like a world beater up there. Edit: Rangers will finish top 3 in the Scottish Premiership next season, without doubt. Likely top 2. And that would be with their current squad.

He had Brentford playing with a swagger when they went up from league 1, and they were very good to watch in the championship too. I know Rangers isn't as challenging but even still I think Warburton has something about him and he could actually be pretty exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 7, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 7, 2016 McCarthy would be alright I think, he would certainly have us at the top end of the table. My issue with hiring that type of manager is that once you get promoted, you can probably give them another season to make you stable in the Premier League and then the board need to be quite cut-throat and hire a better manager to add the "flair" to the stability. Like Southampton and West Ham did. I don't really see Villa being that way inclined whilst Randy is the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
