OneNightInRotterdam Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 With this car crash of a season drawing to a close, I wondered what people's thoughts on our immediate future concerning next season are. With GardeWho do you think will be our next manager? Who do you want? And what sort of players will we target? Etc etc. I personally see Garde Fox, Reilly and Almstadt leaving. Either Steve Bruce or Mark Warburton would be good IMO. I think it could be a summer of massive upheaval. Would be interested to see what everyone else thinks. If Garde does stay do you guys think he'll have what it takes to promote us back up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasterpocket68 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 No mate I don't hopefully he will leave , Sherwood was totally slated and rightly so for the start of the season . However Garde is loved by lots of villa fans for being a very nice gentlemen. His record is appalling he had no experience of English premier league . I do not accept it's not his team or his players . He is a football coach paid to coach and motivate players, he hadn't shown anything for me. we need a proven championship manager who know that league and a proven track record in it. Nigel Pearson obvious choice for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't beleove in the "English experience" malarkey, I agree he is hardly motivating and t he players simply aren't performing for him. For me, he is the right man at the wrong time. Pearson will get players putting a shift in for him, that's for sure. i reckon Bruce could jump ship if Hull capitulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 **** Nigel Pearson. That would be yet another kick in the bollocks. Garde will go and I think he should as will Fox and Riley. Almstadt I don't know, I still have noooo idea what he does. As for the next manager? I'm not sure. He will have one HELL of a job on his hands clearing the decks and that's only if the eejits give him the tools, which is almost impossible to see right now. I've got zero faith in them getting it right and it's troubling me dearly, obviously! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almstadt is basically paid to help with transfers and working on Cutting edge training technology from what I remember. All his done so far though is fall out with two different managers and bugger off to Dubai for a week (this week). Dp you not have more faith with the board appointments?

Villarocker Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Someone at the very top will need to have big balls to do what's really necessary and that is to get rid of a big group of players, including: Hutton, Guzan, Lescott, Richards, Agbonlahor, Westwood, Sinclair - for starters. That may well need contracts being terminated and then having to replace them all with people who want to actually play and give a shit, for the club. Personally, I don't see that happening. Therefore, the board have to do the next best thing and bring in a no-nonsense manager to sort the trouble-makers out. Someone like - dare I say it - Nigel Pearson or Ian Holloway. Either way, I don't think we will get back up into the Premier League at the first attempt. I think we'll be down there for 2-3 seasons at least.

I hope you're wrong about promotion, but my gut is telling me it could be a few years. Turbulent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very complicated question. The short answer is yes. Enough? No. I love Brian Little and I trust him, but the "adviser" role is way too vague a title. I have no idea what influence he will have. Same goes for Bernstein who I also admire greatly being on the board of directors, doing what exactly? If they would tell us maybe we would be able to picture it but the fact remains that communication is incredibly poor from the top. Astonishingly so. I can't get my head around it. It's actually so poor that it's pathetic, totally amateur. When we appointed King, 1 paragraph quote, 1 local radio interview that I can't seem to find available anywhere and still absolutely no clue what role he has within the structure. I'm not being funny and probably am being a bit big headed, but if a fan's protest group none of whom have any relevant experience in the media can disseminate information to the point it spreads like wildfire amongst the supporter base, why the hell can't professionals who went to uni to study this subject and get paid to do so? I'll answer that myself, no passion. Hopefully Little can inject some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2016 I don't really know if I want Garde here next season. I'm not sure I really care. But one thing is for certain, I'd prefer him over Pearson. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hughton would be a good shout assuming Brighton don't go up. Potentially top of my list. Personally I think Garde will be here next season, like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am deeply worried that the Bernstien and Little won't be listened to. Let's hope they are more involved than we think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a clear out from top to bottom at board level, Fox and Riley basically and they can promise him a complete clear out of the squad then there is a decent possibility he will be. Fox and Riley will almost certainly go I'd think, but part two of that seems like a pipe dream at the minute and I can't see how Garde can work with them. Through little fault of his own, IMO, in the main they won't play for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
