It's Your Round Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 1 hour ago, Isa said: Even if confirmed before then, any new manager won't take over until the summer, I reckon. I just can't see the candidates wanting any involvement with this season. They might not officially take over but surely any manager that's currently linked and considering his options will already be assessing the squad. They could be announced but not directly involved til the end of the season. Yet still able to work out which players are worth keeping or not.

Do we need the whole frosty relationship that already exists between himself and the Midlands media ? I think it might be something that goes against him when Hollis and Bernstein are deciding. Can't dismiss his whole "thing" with the media, has a knock on effect and we as a club come off looking bad then. Bevington has a hard enough job on his hands, as an experienced communications director I imagine he'd like a manager in place who can be relied upon to be professional with the press.

avfc1982 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Surprised it's all gone quiet regarding the new manager. The fans and the whole club need a lift and I hope we're not leaving it till the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players dont care either. i expect we wont hear anything until the end of season or maybe before last home game if we are lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2016 Can definitely see Southgate coming in, knows the club, I'm sure Little would recommend him, Southgate has mates from the FA on the Villa board. Do I think it would be a good appointment? **** no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 No way do I want Southgate here. nice chap and all but doesnt inspire me at all. I want Moyes and so does 67% of VT which is a huge majority. He is the clear favourite with the fans. if Hollis wants to build bridges start by getting Moyes in.

PieFacE Posted April 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Just had a cheeky £10 on Southgate. £950 returns if he does get appointed. Suffice to say it's not likely. Edited April 4, 2016 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I would like Moyes but I think he will have better options than rebuilding Villa. I also think he said recently he wants to manage in the CL and as he is unlikely to get a Top 4 job here that suggests he's happy enough to work around Europe for a bit.

He's just the type of terrible manager that we have a history of appointing. We'll appoint him, give him a big budget (by Championship standards), he'll waste it on poor players, we'll leave him in the job way too long before sacking him and then we'll end up languishing in Championship mid-table hell for a few years.

Jareth Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 To be fair, Southgate doesn't really fit the criteria of promotion specialist. He will be quite far down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
