Aside from the fact I can't stand the monumental ball bag apart from his name there is absolutely nothing to suggest he would have the first clue as a manager and the very last thing this club is a punt on someone based purely upon their name Plus he is a CL standard whopper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get relegated.....desperate situations sometimes need desperate measures.....It never did Crystal Palace much harm. The type of manager we need is not likely to want to come and quite frankly I don't know if they can fix this from this low ebb.....It does need a Warnock type as a short measure. Its not a plasterer we need ....its a demolition expert. Ps I'm not up my own a*** as a fan....We need some pragmatic approach Edited October 2, 2016 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted October 2, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm not sure which is worse, that Di Matteo hasn't been sacked yet or some of the names our own fans are putting forward. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said previously that i would like Gary Rowett, so this will probably sound a bit hypocritical, but the more i think of it, the more i am beginning to think that we need a steady appointment rather than yet another gamble. I suppose Bruce falls into that bracket. He isnt the most exciting manager in the world but he is, well....steady. He is an experienced guy who seems to have done a "decent" job wherever he has been with only the odd disaster on his CV, which you would probably expect having spent so long in the business of football. Is he my first choice? Not really, but he certainly wouldn't be last on my list. Edited October 2, 2016 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I've absolutely no idea who the next manager should be. Everything we've been through as Villa fans over the last 6 years has left me feeling like I know nothing about football anymore. Whoever it is, just please be someone capable of getting us to win some games and challenge again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Can't believe we are in this position again. Really not sure who I would want as manager but we need someone with experience. No more gambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I think we need to avoid appointing someone who a week later some scandal comes out and we end up having to get rid of them as well. As to who, I don't know. I'd almost be tempted to ask Mellberg or Laursen, regardless of their experience. But it seems that even in the Championship, looking to Europe for a young manager who understands modern football is the way to go, rather than experience of how to get promoted five years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Steve Bruce will hardly get anyone's pulse racing but I would have been glad to see him come in before - nobody with a better record of getting promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan_of_oz Posted October 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2016 Sam always said he deserved to manage a big club..... well we would be the biggest club he has ever managed and i reckon after what has happened he would have a point to prove and a bit of fire in the belly. Surely if ge was offered the job he would accept. Big club, good facilities and an owner who will spend. I have never been a big fan of his but he is just the type of manager we need right now. It feels like then perfect match.... Then again I could be completely insane. Supporting Villa can do that to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I like Rowett.. but hes done nothing in his career.. hes young.. not the right time. We need an old head. We have had enough young managers who cant handle the pressure. Bruce or Big Sam for mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted October 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2016 Nobody is going to touch Big Sam with a bargepole for a very long time, if ever again. Had he not just been caught out, and wasn't England manager, I'd certainly have him on the list. But now? Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Big Sam is likely going to be suspended from the game, not sure we could get him even if we wanted him. Next stop BeIn sports for the big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone to come and settle the side.. get us promoted.. keep us up and then we can bring in the young and hungry manager who can take us to the next level. Until then.. we need the experienced manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
