Same would rather someone established than someone like Wagner or the guy who is managing brentford. We need someone experienced and established.

The thing is, as much as you may dislike them, the likes of Bruce etc may actually do a decent job in at least steadying the ship. We need a proven Championship manager now to get us out of the shite. I'm not so sure Dean Smith has that pedigree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need one these managers with a track record of failure, so none of the usual suspects please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok doing it at clubs like brentford but villa is a huge leap in size - some in the past have stepped up from smaller clubs and failed , turner and lambert spring to mind.

mikeyp102 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Said it before but Sean Dyche. Hes managed to get Burnley playing decent football, promoted to the prem twice. Yes they got relegated, but this is Burnley we're talking about, they aren't expected to even be in the top flight. That job has hit a ceiling and eventually he'll want to step up, we should make sure it's for us. Yes it would be a step down initially, but the ceiling is higher at Vila. Has Ian Taylor still got a role at us, as he is mates with Dyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedinak and Elphick had got promoted. McCormack scored bag loads. The "Championship experience" stuff is failed logic. Where's David Wagner's championship experience ? Little huddersfield actually took time to scout and find a real gem of a manager managing essentially a reserve team. The got their hands dirty and real football people made a very good decision. Villa arrive on , throw money at everything without seemingly doing their homework on anything. Embarrassing at the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honest_bertie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Can't believe I have been reduced to being ok with Bruce or Fat Sam managing Villa. Would prefer Rowett or the Huddersfield boss but whatever RDM got to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's football. Nothing is guaranteed, even with spending money. Calculated risk. The thing I've always worried about with villa is the people responsible for hiring our next manager. No confidence.
