He really got the short end of the stick. Feel kind of sorry for him. Should have just stayed at Norwich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. It's got to be a no nonsense, 'straight In there appointment' who can get the best out of the current players. Wagner will just be another victim of the Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is while the FA are still deciding whether Sam will be allowed to be involved with football in England? Villa don't need that kind of negative publicity, and it also flies in the face of previous tweets by Dr. Xia about hiring the right kind of people, relating to character. I think for a few different reasons, Sam is just not going to happen, and I for one am not unhappy about that. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good manager but I think it's a little too early for him, tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could apply the above to any manager. Villa are cursed etc etc. We need to bring someone in and none of the usual lot appeal to me. I look through the bookies odds and despair. Wagner, as a former protégé of Klopp at Dortmund, is the most intriguing candidate for me and represents the most exciting option. He actually knows what he's doing, as evidenced by his previous, and even moreso his current role. I could probably make an argument for going with Steve Bruce on the basis that promotion is the be-all, and he knows how to achieve it. But as a fan, if given the choice between a clearly up-and-coming manager like Wagner or Steve Bruce then I'll take Wagner. But if it's not Wagner, then I'll take Bruce over the other lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounavilla Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Only at Villa would it come a time where Sam Allardyce would bizarre become exactly what we need but he himself become unemployable. I honestly can't think of anyone gettable that I'd really like, I just hope he can do the following: Put out a team which consists of midfielders. Puts players in thier correct positions. Wins some games. This would mean he would instantly become the best of the last 3 managers we have hired. UTV.

I really don't know if Xia would go for someone as 'dour' as Bruce (I think hes the best for us - but Dr Tony might want someone a bit more flash) There lies part of our problem.....its the grass roots that missing.

As I said the other day, unless the FA have more dirt on him we don't know about, he will sue them to the high heavens if they try and ban him and rightly fecking so. a measley fine coming his way at worst. Best man for the job by a country mile. I like the likes of Wagner too, but not here and not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wagner has a grand total of 44 games experience managing at first team level. No thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what I would have said about Remi Garde (before he ballsed it up). But Wagner has come in and got a relatively mediocre Huddersfield Town sitting atop the Championship. That's what has convinced me that we need to get him before that ship sails. Which it will pretty quickly IMO. I imagine if some Premier League clubs start dumping their managers then Wagner with his Dortmund CV will be very high up on their wishlists too. Basically if we don't go for him now, then I suspect we'll never get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Bruce for me. But I have to say that the more important question really is, why cant a team with the players we already have win games ? As far as the team goes we must be in the top 3 in the championship so why cant we win games ? is it the wrong tactics, players in the wrong position or what ? What can the next manager do to get this lot firing on all cylinders ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep said this week.....i can tell/ show folk all my coaching methods but its not the same as when i do it. I'm not saying that being a protégé automatically makes you as good. He is actually on top of the league we're trying (badly) to win, and he's doing it with a midtable team. The whole Dortmund thing is only 'by the by' but it does make him that bit more intriguing. Anyway, that's my case made. Let's see who we end up with, and hope it's not Colin the rocket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
