They wanted keep him and much bigger pull sadly That's a shame, I thought Bruce would be perfect and I feel the same about Sam as he always talks very well of Villa. Clutching at straws, he's bored and wants a new challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 It won't be jokanovic unfortunately we would need to pay Fulham 5m in compensation id go for Warnock. Pardew I don't like him as a person but short term he gets excellent results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I proposed Jokanovic last year when I was asked "who would be better" but in our current state, we are crying out for a big personality, someone who lifts the whole club. We are so low at the moment, we are desperate for someone who the players can rally behind and have belief in. I think Allardyce could do that, Pardue has the arrogance but not sure the personality, I am running out of options. We need the Big Ron/GT type factor otherwise we will stay in this division and slowly die. We need a big name Manager more than a new midfielder, striker or GK. Break the bank, make a statement, go big or go home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Mellberg for me. Loves the club, all the fans love him but most importantly he's doing a good job at the moment (on course for back to back promotions). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we weren't so desperate for promotion I'd agree and happily give him a few years. But the pressure would be intense straight away and I'd hate to ruin our chances of having him do something special here. Mellberg for manager is when we are a bit more stable IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thomas Tuchel? No but seriously, looking at managers out of work now Christoph Galtier or Markus Weinzierl would be interesting. Definitely agree with the make a big statement comment. Just can't put a name to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. warnock I think is in a rolling contract so we won't have to pay much. I think he would be quite interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darrenm Posted August 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'd have Lambert back in a heartbeat. You could always see what he was trying to do but didn't have the support to do it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I really am at a loss who would and should come in. When RDM went I really wanted Dyche, but no way he will come now. I thought and hoped Bruce would be just what we need. But it doesn't seem to be. So where now? May as well go JT and at least give a young manager a try. I would add, whoever comes in he has to have the assistant and backroom staff of his choice. When was the last time a manager came in with the full back room staff? Lambert?
