We're not the only club to keep employing the same recycled faces with a track record of losing and getting sacked. They get another new job and then everyone is surprised when they're useless and end up getting sacked again. Nigel Pearson anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 1 hour ago, BG_Villa_Fan said: I think he'll stick with RDM for the whole season. He may need a win at Preston with the international break coming. I think he will get until 30/10 but a defeat on that date could well be too much to take and could see Bruce, Rowett, a freshly sacked manager or even Clarke, Big Sam or Pearson coming in.

Guest av1 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 1 hour ago, TrentVilla said: 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. I think I'd rather take the guy on the up. I think Rowett is a good call actually as I'm sure the idea of a Villa fan at the helm would appeal to he Dr. The flip side to that of course is the fact the Dr is so active on social media. If there was any suggestion that we was interested in Rowett i think his Twitter feed would be bombarded with opposition, not only from SHA fans posing as Villa, but also Villa fans that wouldn't want him due to his connection to Blues. Its a shame really because i think he will become a great manager and he would probably be my number 1 choice. I just think all the opposition would probably scare the Chairman into looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's got to be big sam. I've always thought he was destined for the Villa job, just like big ron and and martin o'neill were. Some people you know will end up here even if it's a short time eg Robbie Keane He should be hungry for redemption and he's still not managed at a really big club. The best thing about this terrible situation is the fans can have a big say on the appointment because of twitter. It's not like the old evening mail polls of yesturyear.

thejoker Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Big Sam for me. Won't be good to watch but he'll get us winning, and there would be no more throwing away leads late on. I couldn't care less about any corruption, I just want a winning team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffmaster Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Don't like the thoughts of Big Fat Sam at our club. He's a shyster, and has just been exposed as being corrupt. Add that to a mentally fragile dressing room and it's a recipe for further disaster. The amount of negative press attention he'll be attracting in the coming months makes him an even less attractive option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted September 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2016 Cannot understand why so many people are saying Allardyce? Yes he'd be a no-brainer if these were normal circumstances but they're not. We shouldn't touch him with a barge pole after what's just happened. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Rowett, because he's polishing a turd rather splendidly at the Sty. If not, Fist Face. How low we have sunk when former and current small heath gaffers are top of our list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) RDM is the best man for the job. He's got a record of doing well in the lower leagues. He's got a good coaching team behind him and a squad of championship experience to pick from. I think Xia should wait a while longer before pulling the trigger. If it continues like this, at least wait until someone worthwhile chasing becomes available. No one currently available is good enough to manage us in the premier league I'd say. Our best option at this point I think is McCarthy. It's simply not worth sacking the current manager to chase him. I'd sooner choose a random NBA team and follow them instead of Villa, than watch a Villa side managed by Sam Allardyce or Steve Bruce Edited September 28, 2016 by skarroki Horrible, horrible grammar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Really don't understand the clamour for Rowett. He does a solid job but would be lambasted on here. You think RDM is unnecessarily defensive? Wait until you see a Rowett lineup! We'd be swapping one draw specialist for another. Bonkers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Don't think Tony would touch Big Sam with a bargepole if honest. Hughes, Moyes and Billic's days at their current clubs may be numbered, but wouldn't want two of them and can't see Billic coming here if he lost his job. One of my best friends is a Watford fans and he says the QSF lost the plot when it came to team selections and tactics, in which case we may as well keep RDM. Bruce is a safe pair of hands and I wouldn't be too unhappy if he came here. Rowett, Wagner and Dean Smith are all on the up, but may be considered something of a risk. For me, they would be a risk worth taking, but I'm not so sure if Tony and Wyness would think the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighavfc Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 2 hours ago, Bomvilla7 said: Do people honestly think Tony would appoint Big Sam? Genuine question, because I'm gobsmacked at the thought of a man who is self made, worked incredibly hard to get to where he is and takes huge pride in his business, appointing a man who is currently the center of one of the biggest scandals of modern English football and is facing blatant corruption charges without a leg to stand on. I find it mind boggling. I don't think RDM will be axed just yet, but if/when he does I'd like to see us go after Quique Sanchez Flores (might be wishful thinking but he might fancy another go at the Prem) Possibly not no but thats not the question were answering here..Imo he would be one of the best candidates for the job. Regardless of whats happened in the last 48 hours. What happens on the pitch is all im interested in as far as Villa is concerned. Yeah the football would not be the best but if its results we want then hes a good choice, just like Pulis was for Albion when they were up s**t street.

Noone good enough to stay with us if we went up available I'd say. Our best option at this point I think is McCarthy which is not worth sacking the current manager to chase him I think the same. Yes the draws are frustrating but there has been an improvement in our play and we have been unlucky (I'm talking trying to break the frame of the goal as opposed to conceding in the last 5 mins of a game). I do think we are closer to making everything click, and you can see the players are desperate for that win. 6 points and we are up in the top half, its that close. Too early to talk about getting rid of, and I can't think of anyone who is a.) gettable and b.) better than the coaching set up we have. It might not be working the way we want it to right now, but they are all proven at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I think this thread is wrong. Far too soon to talk about a new manager. Give this one a chance. It was never going to be easy given we were arguably the worst ever team to get relegated from the Premier League with Derby. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 2 hours ago, PaddytheVillan said: I reckon from the rumours going around if Di Matteo is sacked, it will be Bruce coming in. His record in this league is excellent and even in the Prem it is decent, I would happily take him. What we need is a proven manager, someone who has done it over many years. Look at Bilic, he was looking like a real gem at the end of last season, yet he could end up sacked before Xmas with his reputation in tatters. Bruce will probably want the England job now.

Tommo_b Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes although it's hard not to lose patience after the millionth time of conceding in the last few minutes, I think the long term future of Aston Villa requires us as fans to be more patient, we sack RDM, we will probably be sacking his successor 5 months later and so on and so forth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Rowett is too young. What do our last few managers have? All inexperienced. We need an old head to get us out. I don't give a shit of big Sam is corrupt. If he gets us back up.. then who cares. Big Sam or Bruce for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
