Perfect place to rebuild his name and confidence in a place you are 100% guarantied to win the title no manager has come out of that league with a big reputation since MON left Celtic in 05 and even then that was media garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 13 hours ago, John said: So it seems we may have a lengthy wait for a new manager to be appointed. We will be looking for a manager who we have to pay no compensation for, who will accept a short contract and low salary compared to what we have previously offered for the job. So we will be likely to be looking for a manager who is currently out of work and still will be when we come to seriously look at appointing one or someone who has reached the end of their contract or been sacked between now and then. In between time we have players that want away and that we want rid of as well as players to bring in but this will no doubt (other than in the case of accepting the odd cash bid for players) be put on hold until this phantom sale of the club falls through. I guess that sad news will be made public either when the ST renewals deadline has expired or near the end of the transfer window. What a shambles we have become under this so called "custodian". Yep we're going nowhere but down still under his regime. I've mentioned it numerous times but we've had a two month head start on Newcastle, Sunderland/Norwich plus about 8 teams in championship who don't know if they'll be promoted or not. And we've going to waste even this opportunity because competant football people we finally appoint to the board don't want to work for Lerner. He also still can't sell the club so we can't get a decent manager in. It's just so facking depressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm deluded because I'd rather have a different manager to Nigel Pearson? OK, sure thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think the way moyes spoke about Celtic suggests to me he is going there. It was more a come and get me. Lerner blew it Lerner fashion with this latest controversy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'd take Celtic over Villa and I'm not even an ex Celtic player who was born and raised in Glasgow. For Moyes it's a no brainer, surely? He's still got two or three contracts left in him so rebuilding his reputation in Scotland before coming back to England in three years makes total sense, certainly when you compare it to putting fires out at a dysfunctional Championship club.

Pending on what happens with takeover. If (I know we can dream) a wealthy group comes in and takes over from villa you would've crazy not to take this job, as Scottish football is a joke. How many managers have been a success after leaving Celtic? Look at Neil Lennon he was terrible at Bolton. On,y mon had some success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Stepping back a little - if two members resign because they put inappropriate stuff in a email, does that really de rail our plans that much ? - Moyes was always a tall order IMO - But the other candidates remain gettable IMO - Perhaps with the exception of Dyche.

Gary Thomas Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just can't seen anyone decent wanting to commit to us until the ownership/investment issue is sorted out - the whole thing is too unstable. Maybe they are delaying appointing anybody because they know things could change at the top in the next few weeks (as King suggested yesterday). Best scenario is new owner takes over, makes statement of intent, we attract a better manager. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If Moyes says he's waiting then he's clearly considering all the options. We HAVE to be a big option for him, he's already declared interest in us. Newcastle and Celtic are obviously still in the mix as well, so he may well pick Villa, Newcastle and Celtic in that order. If we don't get this guy, what the hell are we playing at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2016 13 minutes ago, StefanAVFC said: I'd take Pearson over Martinez. Oh so would I. From my POV Martinez's stock has fallen considerably after his Everton tenure (I fully expect him to be 'available' in the summer). With Wigan there were always pros and cons to how he did. Negative comparisons to previous managers offset by the fact that Wigan were a minnow punching above their weight in the Premier League. So Everton were a steadier ship and a better benchmark for him. First season was good but he has spectacularly failed to build his own winning team from that. Wouldn't want him anywhere near us now.

cyrusr Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 Don't forget the rumours of Everton and Watford getting rid of their respective managers. Both will be in the premiership next season and he has the obvious connections with Everton too, less work than us and given the finances next season will without question have the same or more likely more money to spend. If we were set on Moyes, more options are coming by the day for him and he will be able to pick what he likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choice is his obviously but as he's already come out and said he's interested and waiting til summer (possibly to see what randy does) then he's ours to lose. .... But then of course we're a well run functional club with a generous and passionate owner so we should have no problem! tick tock randy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
