Of course it does, but as speculation goes, I'd rate it as fairly reliable. If this was written in the gossip column of the Mirror then I'd be very very suspicious of it. Coming from Murphy in a published article on the BBC is much different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If we're after a Villa fans, I wonder what Cesare Prandelli is up to these days? In all fairness, I'd like Moyes too but I know I've been wrong with Lambert and Garde so I'm reluctant to back my own judgement. Be even worse if Pearson took the Forest job and won the league at a canter. With regards to having people with affection for the club, it's not always a guarantee of effort or passion if Gabby, Lescott and Jack are to go by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 It would be just like Villa to turn our nose up at Moyes and go for Pearson. If Moyes is interested it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he's a no-go because he's not British therefore he aint got that BRITISH PASHUN. Even if the board weren't so narrow-minded though I have no idea whether he's got the right qualifications. Still, it's a pity that we won't even consider certain managers because of their nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted April 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2016 2 hours ago, Richard said: in terms of his fan connection I really really want someone to have a connection to Aston Villa, someone who wants to do well for Villa not because they have a pay check. Someone motivated to care about the club as I doubt we have had a manager like that in a very very long time (Gregory I'd say) so it is important for me as I also think he would be motivated to reconnect the club to the fan base which is something the club is desperately lacking Yes I know his skills are untested a bit but the job he has done down the road is remarkable really. They have spent jack all, have an owner who is absent , were a total shambles and heading down another division. Sound familiar? Our resources are much better than theirs and I just think he would flourish with us and us with him. Still it's not my choice and I'm merely expressing an opinion. As I said I am not totally averse to Rowett. If we are going for a 'championship' level manager I would prefer him to some of the other names being bandied about.

bringbackbigron Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If Moyes is genuinely interested Get him in. e is the fans preferred option and it would be a good first step to turning the fans around. Alternately we could do it the Villa way and dither about wait for Celtic to offer him the position and then bring in half baked choice that nobody else would touch. This is a real chance for the new board to show they mean business as opposed to business as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how we could mess up an opportunity like this. I agree, but he may not want to take the job on. The budget would be an obvious problem, if it is not sufficiently substantial.

screwdriver Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I hope it is Moyes he's the only one who can save us. And you just know if he wants a player he's not going to go blowing smoke around this "football board" or Paddy Reilly he'll go straight for that jibbering coward Lerner, who'll say no problem David. It will be like that film the dammed United when the chairman turns up at training to find out he's financed 2 new players. Moyes will bring the glory days back. We will return to the premier league unbeaten without conceeding a goal. The team will be affectionatly known as the indomitable lions and go down in history.

I've always thought he was a good lad. But I think he has not only let himself down but his team-mates, too." David Moyes, 2009. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 is there a mood shift here ? - is the football board, which until this point has been seen as a good thing now the stumbling block to us appointing Moyes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah but the fans wanted Lambert and that didn't work out therefore we shouldn't get Moyes, apparently... I do think the reaction of the fans is important though. Moyes is the only realistic option who would give most of the fanbase a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
