Why are Grayson fans banging the drum so hard? I'm intrigued... 1- We can probably attract him to Villa 2- Promotion specialist. 4 promotions in about 10 years as a manager 3- Has managed a big club in a crisis in the championship before at Leeds. Got them promoted to the championship and to 7th in the league- they haven't been that close since he left 4 years ago 4- In his mid 40s but has plenty of management experience 5- Has played for Villa in the past so has some understanding of the club. Would know Little. I just think he would be a solid and realistic appointment after the 'experimental' choices of the last 2. Edit 6- Having had Bates as a Chairman, Randy should be a walk in a park for him! Edited March 29, 2016 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2016 This is a hugely important decision and I've no faith in the club to get it right. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Stan is at 20/1. Obviously it's not going to happen and I wouldn't want it to happen (yet) but I would honesty take him over Pearson. On second thoughts, maybe not. I'd hate to see someone like him be gradually broken by this club and get shafted by the pricks at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think it'll be Moyes and I would be happy if we do appoint him. The club still has a big enough stature to be attractive to him. Yet at the same time, should he/the team under perform next season, as it's the Championship it's a bit more out of the media spotlight so he won't get as much negative press if, or knowing us, when, it all goes tits up.

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted March 29, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2016 I hope we wait until the summer. Any manager coming in now is going to start with 5 or 6 defeats and some of the fans will have turned on him by the summer anyway. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New manager comes in and fails to win another game because the players gave up a long time ago. Cue cries of "worst Villa manager in history". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Warburton, Pearson or Moyes for me in that order I knwo we will end up with either Neil Lennon or Ronny Deila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2016 Pearson would be such a let down. I really want to like our new manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan_007 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Dyche, Rodgers, Moyes, Vincenzo Montella Think the board will go British with the aim of getting up first time. Then probably replace again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_c Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Seen Pat Murphy saying the board want an English manager. I've no problem with the manager being English or any other nationality. But if that is a prerequisite it is just plain stupid. Nationality has NO bearing on ability to do the job. And before anyone starts, you can have experience of the English game and even the Championship and not be English. You might as well say you only want a white manager, or you only want a manager who is taller than 6 foot. Edit: though I realise if they're not an EU citizen they'd probably get their work permit vetoed . Edited March 30, 2016 by jon_c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Gary Monk from what I hear has a lot of admirers on the villa board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Why are people so against Pearson. Yes he has his issues, but still has done a good job. For me, he just seems to be 'flavour of the month', and there's not really anything that puts him up to the calibre of Moyes. Like many other managers (that we will happily overlook) he has achieved promotion and then had an expected relegation battle in the Prem. The only additional things going for him are that he appears to be a disciplinarian (which other managers are too) and that his Leicester side are now going to win the league. Leicester winning the league could be down to any number of things, of which he could have contributed to in varying degrees, so having that as the presumed main reason to go for Pearson feels like a bit of a gamble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The only reason I'd want Pearson would be to watch him give Gabby the drill sergeant treatment in his first training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
