This is what we should be doing - making moves to line up a replacement to come straight in when Bruce goes.

I agree. I was no fan of his, but for all his faults Doug never used to scratch around in the unemployed list for our next manager. If we want to be a big club, we need to start acting like one and pluck one from another club. The most important role at he club is the first team manager, and one thing we should not be scrimping on is getting the right manager in! It will save us a fortune in the long run in transfer fees and wages. For example If the guy at Fulham is the right man, and we want him, don't baulk at £5m or whatever his fee is, that is small fry in comparison to the fees and wages we have wasted over the years swapping one rubbish manager for another rubbish manager.

I would be also asking the newly promoted managers too. Ok they may be Premiership now,  but i'm sure they could be tempted back for the right package. You never know? Wagner is quality wish we could tempt him.

How's MON doing these days? He's the only guy since our famous runs that have made us play any sort of effective, exiting football.

4-4-2 mi-lord.

Could be available next month if Ireland fail to win in Wales.

Would anyone have MON back??

[magnkarl]

How about Marcos Silva? He's free.

Off the top of my head I'd try for the following:

Pal Dardai

Lee Johnson

Andre Villas Boas

Marcelo Gallardo

Cant believe people are on about deBoer, he only knows the Ajax way. The dutch league only has 3 teams in it and it's a shit league. Ajax have been playing the same way and have their youth system in place for decades. deBoer tried to implement the Ajax way at Inter and it was a total disaster, he then tried it at Palace and it was a total disaster. The Ajax way is works at Ajax as they have been doing it that way for about 30 years and it can't be copied over night. Ajax promotes from within the club, all the Ajax players have played football that way since they were about 6 years old. Could you imagine him rocking up at Villa Park with his brand of total football? Our lot can barely string 3 passes together never mind 30 or 40. It also requires movement, our lot can't even move for a throw in. It would be a disaster, having said that I imagine XIa and Wyness would probably go for it as between them they don't seem to have any clue how to run a football club.

All steps towards the 'Villa Machine'

Nah thanks, he left us in the shit and it's no coincidence that we and Sunderland have fallen to the same level.  We need someone new with fresh ideas and hope.

I'm pretty sure he would get us to the premiership with his player motivational abilities but i wouldnt want him spending the cash when we get there.

Or maybe even Rafa?..

How about a Lambert/O'Neil dream team? O"Neil in charge of player management and Lambert in charge of transfers. I'd take that.

With Sherwood as Director of football and Roy Keane as dunce.

I think we do need to think about poaching someone. I think if we make our move after boro for jokonvic he may come as fulham have not started well and he will recognise we are a bigger club and more likely to get promoted with this team and resources at his disposal.

Out of all the free agents no one really inspires me. I wanted moyes before bruce but now i definitely dont want him

Nah, I wouldn't want them a part of it.

Seriously though, we could do a lot worse and probably will.

Would Frank De Boer be an option, had a bad start at Palace but before that he was manager of Ajax and won four titles there.

 

De Boer hasn't had a good year and half now. Struggled at Inter and sacked at Palace. His Ajax team was very good, but I'd imagine De Boer really is lacking confidence at the moment, and that is not the type of manager we need. We need a manager to come in who is confident and will get the fans excited again.

Most Villa fans would agree with you Blandy. This has been obvious since well before the end of last season, and yet the two people who are paid very good money to both regulate and oversee the football side of things have failed to act, or even acknowledge that there's a problem.

 

I honestly believed in time he would change this and I honestly believed John Terry would make a significant difference in the problems we had.

sadly on Saturday, I changed my opinion.....that turgid offering as football must be condemned to the rubbish bin .....and the Dr must comprehend, we are not going to tolerate it either.
