Michael118 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) Why is Guidolin not being mentioned as a candidate? It's not hard to see why we are in so much trouble when Xia can afford to have his pick of managers but Bruce, Smith and Wagner are on top of our wishlist.

My dad used said change to purchase aforementioned compost. Not terribly exciting, but there we are I was hoping for more, actually. Something like he drew a smiley face on the front, named it Kevin, then flew off to Lesbos for a dirty weekend away with it. ( Steve Bruce, not your Dad by the way.) But, it was nice that Mr Bruce let your Dad keep the change.

Mjvilla Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I fear Wagner may need quite a bit of time to turn us around which is something we can't quite afford. He has done well this season with Huddersfield with his own players and all that jazz. We need a manager who can hit the ground running. I'm not sure Wagner is that man. I'm not sure any of the names mentioned are... Which is why I want a completely shock name turn up and blow us out our mind. Who that is I don't know, but I'm not happy with any candidate mentioned really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrDuck Posted October 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2016 Interesting to see how our managers have performed over the last 20 years or so... http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37551265 Quote Villa's managerial success rates since 1994 Scott Marshall/Andy Marshall (caretaker): 1 game, 1 win - 100% Graham Taylor: 19 wins in 60 games - 32% John Gregory: 82 wins in 190 games - 43% Paul Lambert: 34 wins in 111 games - 30% Martin O'Neill: 80 wins in 190 games - 42% Kevin MacDonald (caretaker): 2 wins in 9 games - 22% Brian Little: 64 wins in 168 games - 39% Alex McLeish: 9 wins in 42 games - 21% Gerard Houllier/Gary McAllister:14 wins in 39 games - 35.9% Roberto di Matteo: 1 win in 12 games - 8.33% David O'Leary: 47 wins in 131 games - 35.88% Stuart Gray (caretaker): No wins in 2 games/John Deehan (caretaker): No wins in 2 games Tim Sherwood: 10 wins in 28 games - 35.7% Eric Black (caretaker): No wins in 7 games The obvious conclusion here is that a Marshall dream team is the way forward. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 8 hours ago, Neil said: Odds like this are moved purely on what is being lumped on, computer assisted to ensure the bookie always wins...lower the odds on popular markets to ensure the payout doesn't exceed the total takings/etc. I know this has all been said before, but most of the time this is all it is and people lump on pure speculation. Twatter rumours fuel customers and odds change / etc. Rarely is there any privy info with the bookies, sometimes punters get lucky and there is the possibility that odds are moving because punters got a lucky tip off but that is unusual. Good points but when all bookies turn odds on for a certain manager then it's normally a done deal. At the moment most bookies are still offering better than evens for Bruce so it's still wide open in my opinion. #wagnerlove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Stoke could be close to sacking Hughes. Although they have started badly I rate Hughes. Would be very happy with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted October 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2016 This thread makes me laugh. Bruce at age 55 is a hasbeen dinosaur whose day is done at age 55 yet Wagner is a young up comming manager at age 44. So we are saying that a managerial career now spans 11 years i.e less than a player? Get real. Bruce is significantly younger than many many managers currently managing top clubs and nations. His dinosaur football got Hull promoted last year. Wagner may indeed be the next big thing but he has had 44 matches managing a small club. The law of probability means he is more likely to be a flash in the pan than the next Wenger. He has had zero time at a big club and yes lottery style is could be you but represents yet another gamble for me. Of course I will back him to the hilt if he arrives here but I want experience and track record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there are even older managers out there who are still going strong. Arsene Wenger himself is 66, and is not slowing down. Age has very little to do with it.

Although Wagner is a gamble I think many believe he can really build something at the club over the long term. New culture and philosophy almost. Bruce is tried and tested at this level so would still be a great appointment I just feel not appointing Wagner now could be a missed opportunity. The man will move on to bigger and better things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Others may not agree but out of all the teams we played this season I've been most impressed by Huddersfields organisation and willingness to play football under pressure. Although we should have won that game there was something about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
