Rodders Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 aye, I'd give Neville a chance here as well. Don't think it's likely, but I think he has a decent manager in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieVillan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Moyes. If he won't come, then Grayson. With Moyes though, I hope people aren't expecting attractive expansive football - his Everton team wasn't known for this. His Everton team were solid and direct. I would also point out that they were the kind of team that went on long periods of good form, followed by long periods of bad form - John Gregory style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think he would be interested in the Villa job though. Another risk, though? Any appointment is a risk really, especially in the championship - it's a devil of a league to get out of. I'm not saying he's definitely the best candidate, but he'd be on my list of ones I wouldn't mind. I think he's intelligent, and understands the game well enough to read it from the sidelines. Valencia was a tough challenge- where he did fail expectations no doubt, but I saw them a couple of times and they looked a decent outfit. I think a big club in the championship for him could be a good opportunity to prove himself. And he would have the respect of the players too. That said I do think it's very unlikely, and I suspect he'll persue punditry and England coaching for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 They're two different people. One of them has shown a capacity for understanding the game very well in his punditry role suggesting at leas the intelligence to become a coach or manager if he wishes ( although no guarantee ) , the other is a gobby clearing in the woods who thinks mike bassett england manager was an unironic template for success.

Fairy In Boots Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Went for dyche because we need a complete overhaul and he would be a guy to build a project around. Would take Pearson & Moyes but I suspect they'll be hitting a ceiling around mid table in the PL when and if we return with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Moyes too....feel he may have had too many knock backs....but that may be misleading I like the persona of Pearson and I think the club is primed for his kind of style.I think we need to change and I think he will know how to do it. He reminds me of Saunders, no nonsense, no small talk and 110% effort. He may only take us so far, but that could be the case with every candidate.....such is the level we have fell from. and then we would need another to push us on.

Popular Post thunderball Posted March 30, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2016 The solid, sensible appointment is Moyes, in fact it can only be Moyes. i honestly have no aspiration or ambition for the next 5 years other than promotion and becoming a solid PL mid table team. No more dramas or risks, I think that is what Moyes can deliver. His Everton was nearly always competitive with only a few minor blips, and he never had any money either. For what it's worth, I think Randy has to gamble throwing good money after bad to kick start this mess. Hopefully eventually falling into the footballing abyss has scared him witless. £100m plus whatever we can get for the mercenaries we have on our books. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
