Gary Thomas Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Moyes or Rogers please, would start to feel optimistic if we got either of those. Just need some decent players then! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw_nuff Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 WTF does McLaren need to do to be found out? It's like that bloke at work who always seems to escape the flak when everything turns to shit and somehow gets promoted or at worst moved sideways. He's been an abject failure as a manager everywhere, with the possible exception of M'bro, where he had enough money to make Solomon blush. Absolute cack in the same mould as Sven. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 I voted for Dyche, but just can't see that happening. Moyes doesn't have the recent championship winning experience so just can't see it - but seeing as Pearson is 2nd in this vote, I hope all the Moyes fans can get on board with Pearson as it really looks very likely now.

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) No chance in hell we'll go for another foreign manager. The board would be mad to take that risk again plus the media would hound him out even more agressively than they did with Garde. My verdict of those on the list: Outstanding: Nobody I'm not excited about any of the options, but then what do I know! I thought Garde would be amazing and Ranieri would get Leicester relegated!!! Good: Moyes / Pearson Moyes' stock may have fallen, but let's face it, if it hadn't we wouldn't stand a chance of landing him. He still has enough about him to do a good job with us. Pearson but only if (and it's a very iffy if) we can get his back room staff. His record with Leicester was very good, plus he seems strong enough to deal with the bad apples in our squad. Ok: Dyche / Rowett Both very promising, young managers, but not enough experience for the job in my eyes, therefore would be a risk. Nobody else is worth considering in my eyes. Brendan Rodgers is IMO unrealistic, so Bruce is probably the best of the lot and that says it all.

VillaCas Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd regard Pearson with about the same excitement I regarded the Sherwood appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just no to Pearson. Rodgers needs a big project to get him back in the top flight game. Monk would be an interesting gamble, he knows the lower leagues very well and he knows what a promotion run is all about. I don't understand why foreign managers should not be considered? Seems a bit weird to me. Moyes, well, Moyes IMO would have been a good appointment when we got Houllier, or after he left. Not sure about him now. Don't know why.

krisagg75 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 all i hope is that they appoint him at the end of the season.my choice would be sanchez flores.i'd take fist face,dyche or rowett though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Moyes for me, if not next in line has to be Allardyce. Both will have us mid table in a few years, which I know we turned our noses up at a few years ago, but we would kill for that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 Personally, I really do not care. If Pearson comes in then so be it, I'll give him a chance to prove his worth, personally I think any manager that comes in is in for a tough job, the last thing they need is the fans getting on their backs from day 1. I'd be happy with Pearson or Moyes I think. Given the state of our club, I think we'd do well to attract either to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea were atrocious before he got sacked, I think somebody with more experience is needs like Bruce, Moyes, Pearson, Warburton, Dyche. Monk would more than likely get us relegated again IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be Moyes, if interested. otherwise Dyche if Burnley do not come up Edited March 30, 2016 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd be "happy" with Moyes, for a Championship club he'd be a real coup. The thing is, he was at Everton for more than 10 years and when he finally tested his wings at Man U (a very difficult job) he failed. Could not handle big stars, his training methods was called outdated and ancient, results were not good enough... He then moved to Spain (a very difficult move) and failed horribly, 28.5 win% at a club like Sociedad is just awful. I'm not saying Moyes is a bad manager, he isn't. Both jobs were very difficult for different reasons, as is the Villa job. But there is a risk that he is "broken" mentally. He could be just itching for revenge, eager to step in and rebuild his name and reputation. I'd love that manager at Villa. Or he could be mentally frail, unsure of his own ability, weak and someone who crumbles under the pressure, don't wan't that guy. Every manager is a risk for different reasons...

VillaChris Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Bit harsh, it's not like Swansea have gone on some brilliant run since he left, they looked as poor against us the other day as they did in October. I think he's a talented manager but whether he's the right man we need for next season is very questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
