Popular Post PieFacE Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 Can't believe Sherwood's name is even being mentioned. People have short memories. I'm starting to like the idea of Wagner to be honest. Let's hope we can get him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academic intelligence obviously doesn't equal footballing intelligence but I'd consider him a decent judge of a manager. Somewhat on topic Steve Bruce's talent as an author is worth noting. https://www.balls.ie/football/steve-bruce-novel/293169 Quote Bright red blood on the knife blade. The knife in my hand.

Hence the expression 'going on a bender'. I thought "going on a bender" was going to a gay club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could finally sort out the culture of the club and leave a platform for others to build on. 2nd choice is a bit more realistic in Michael O'Neill, a very shrewd tactician and generally is a very positive man without being a spoofer.

sne Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wagner would be the natural choice for Dr X considering he's already part of The X-Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartin82 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wagner for me. Never heard of him until recently but the more I read and see the more I like. This season is almost certainly a write off now so let's take a gamble on someone who has the pedigree and potential to be something special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Wagner is good... Bit too much focus on the right wing though? Edited October 3, 2016 by alreadyexists 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 RDM was sacked 124 days after being appointed. This thread was started after 119 days. Villa fans lasted almost 4 months before writing him off. I really hope the next manager is actually given some time. It really is a joke how we get through them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Harry Redknapp apparently just said he would take on the job and wouldn't ask for a wage until we were in the top six on TalkSport.. .. We could do worse. With Tim as assistant, obviously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The size of our club may be an inhibiting factor to getting the right manager....its paradoxical I know ...but what the club needs and what the team needs, maybe different now. We are close to the second division.....if this form continues. we have discarded players featuring in opposition teams that are turning us over......we need to get back to basics and address the poor judgment that has been employed. The new manager that appears right for the club, may not be the same manager that is right for the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If RDM had performed better he would have been given time. I really hope the next manager is deserving of actually being given time as if he is it is good news for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted October 3, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) As this thread seems to be in demand every few months may I suggest we all adopt a standard format. *delete as applicable. I thought it was a mistake to go for old and experienced/young and full of potential* We should go for the opposite this time. Nigel Pearson is proven at this level/a complete knob* Big Sam is worth a try/should not be touched with a barge pole* Rowett is a Villa fan/Remember Mcleish* Remember that Moyes did well at Everton. Agbonlahor shouldn't be given a fresh start/definitely shouldn't be given a fresh start/definitely, definitely shouldn't be given a fresh start* by the new boss.
