Got to say, names like Rowett/Warnock/Warburton are depressing, take a chance and just throw some cash at a foreign manager, can't do much worse that what we've had to endure over the last 6 years. Sorry but why do they have to be foreign......Do you not remember Remi Garde or Dr Jo Venglos or does going foreign just guarantee success?

Be it mick mccarthy or Johnny foreigner. At this stage I don't care. I can't fault your opinion there mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not just foreign, but we seem to always have to go with Premier League and now Championship experience when there are potentially some very good managers abroad, or even in the lower leagues (though I can't think of an example of someone putting their name in lights right now), that we ignore for some arbitrary reason. Good managers are good managers, and we should be trying to find them. Bielsa and Mancini don't have jobs currently, a bit fanciful yes, but why not throw money at them to see if they'd come? Mancini almost joined Notts County when Sven was there, so why not join a team that would be 2 divisions higher? Instead of restricting ourselves to the same old tired English managers, why not look for someone with a good reputation abroad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brendan Rodgers (technically foreign as I reckon he travels on an Irish passport) was available I'd go for him but unfortunately there is not too many tactically astute, impressive and progressive English/British managers available at the moment. Rowett did very well in his last job but they played underdog football too, Warburton is a spoofer who was found out as a man and a manger at Rangers while Dean Smith is doing ok at Brentford and they play good football but a lot of that is down to the club. You could take a chance on the likes of your man at Lincoln or other lower league successes but in Villa's precarious position that wouldn't be wise. Easier to find proven tactically astute, impressive and progressive managers from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) British or foreign I don't really care, I just want the best attainable Man for the job regardless of nationality or relevant championship experience. Someone who knows how to change a game through tactics would be a start. Edited February 14, 2017 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sure fire strategy that has worked well in the past... If the managers in question are losing 7 out of 8 games with their own players then it doesnt leave a great deal of choice. I still think we should give him a bit more time but how much time do you give someone who loses every week, plays awful tactics that suppress the talents of the very players he himself bought to the club and makes dreadful substitutions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The sad thing about our situation now is that if Bruce were to be sacked (which I'm not against at all), no matter who we get I won't be able to get the least bit excited about it. Failure and weakness have been so entwined with this club over the past few years that it's likely whoever comes in will end up failing too within 6 months/1 year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
