Richard Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Should rdm be rightly dismissed from the role who would you pick and why? Personally I'd go for Rowett as he has shown a capability of building and motivating a team to compete in this league with far less resources. I think he would relish the opportunity of working with far superior players and would have us competing pretty quickly. He has shown he can work with a basket case club under difficult circumstances and he would be highly motivated to do well for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Big Sam. Won't be pretty but he will soon have us out of this league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 depressingly, Bruce. and Big Sam - how the f**k can anyone want that gobsh*te near us? It's only a sodding game, and you want any old half corrupt person in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted September 28, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2016 It really shows the depths football and Villa have sunk too when people start calling for Fat Sam not even 24 hours after he resigns in shame. Rowett is a man on the up but still a gamble, Bruce is uninspiring but a pair of safe hands. I'd be okay with either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sadly I don't think it will be Bruce or Big Sam. I think we will go with a head coach style of appointment - might even be an overseas manager. Hope Im wrong - but we are still on this 'structure' kick. I think the time for messing is done - appoint a robust manager - and let him put the structures in place. Sadly I fear that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Steve Bruce, Mick McCarthy, Neil Warnock (dislike him but he has a great record in this league) I wouldn't like Sam and I would find it hard to get behind Gary Rowett if I'm honest.

S-Platt Posted September 28, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2016 Dean Smith Brentford Manager ex Walsall. Teams play attacking football and he is a Villa fan too. Exotic suggestion Frank Rijkaard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG_Villa_Fan Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think Xia would be more likely to go after a name than gambling with an up and coming lower division manager. He's in a tough spot. I think he'll stick with RDM for the whole season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Don't know much about Rowett so it's Bruce for me. Don't want Big Sam anywhere near the club after the England debacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He not just going to let us slide out of the division 'lerner style' - I don't see any upturn in results on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
