legov Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Let's be honest, Houllier is going nowhere until the summer at the earliest. They won't sack him right now, if at all. Even if they did it would be silly bringing in a new manager for 8 games. I'd rather see Kevin Mac in charge again for the remainder as he already knows the players and has the respect of the dressing room. IF by some major miracle we stay in the Premier League then I'd love to see David Moyes as Villa manager. Whether he'd come to us or not is a different story. Failing that I'd go for Martin Jol. I really liked him at Tottenham and I think that he'd do a great job for us. Unfortunately I think we will go down and the likelihood of Moyes leaving Everton for the Championship or us attracting someone like Jol would be minimal. I honestly couldn't think of a decent realistic manager that we could get to lead us back to the Premier League. Paul Lambert has worked wonders but he's on the verge of a promotion to the Premier League, why would he guide Norwich to the Premier League then leave? Which is why it is imperative that Houllier goes now, so many big clubs e.g. Leeds go down a division and end up struggling for so long. Unfortunately it won't happen.

Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Then he has to bite his ego and sort out the differences in the squad instead of banishing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hercs23 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 coyle and moyes are 1st choices but would be very happy with paul lambert someone who is young, fresh, for the future. hopefully kmac alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez1974 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Paul Lambert deserves a chance. Either that or I'd take a punt on Benitez. 100% agree with point 1. 10000000% disagree with point 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 John Gregory for me has to come in to help with defence or in as manager. Least we'll see some fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy_loes Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I doubt Lambert will come now. He isnt going to swap a moment in the sun for a moment in the shit. He is the one though and mighty dollar may work. I'd like to see him knock a few heads together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 No to Mark Hughes. never done anything. His signings as just as bad as MON. Simply, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cridontour Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Please god not Steve McClaren! He's the English Houllier, a cup of tea and an umbrella on the touchline at one of Englands most important games, trying to put on a Dutch accent. The guy is just as big an idiot as Houllier!!! I don't like Fat Sams football but he would provide the best chance of keeping us up. Can't see us getting another permanent manager until this season is over if Houllier does go.

Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I wouldn't, I'd be overjoyed. Least we'd have a manager who is Villa through and through, will ensure the playes give 200%. Its better than the calls for Owen Coyle or David Moyes, why would they come to us? For me JG would do no worse than GH, actually i'd guarentee he'd pick up more points.

smetrov Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 are we taling replacements:- Now Prem next season Championship next season Now = KMAC or Big Sam Prem Next Season = Coyle/Moyes Championship next season - Lambert - it doesn't bear thinking about the options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yeah, I meant I'd be happy. He was a great manager. I'd love to see him back at Villa. Even if we went down, we should go and get him. He's in Israel at the moment with FC Ashdod. Sure he'd jack that to come to Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 When John Gregory was first team coach alongside Brian Little he was credited as being a major part of our most successful season in many a year - 95/95 (League Cup Winners, 4th, FA Semi). Its actually the reputation and the impact he'd had on the players that got him the managers job after his few months away at Wycombe. I've often wondered when Houllier was **** about asking any **** with Liverpool connections to work alongside him - Thomson, Hamann, Staunton, and the useless **** we ended up with G Mac, why he didn't look for someone with Villa connections to do the job, someone who could do what he must have known he couldn't - instil the same passion in the club that they had, the same pride, the same heart. That man could well have been JG. Not so sure I'd have him back as manager but he would have made an excellent assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Mark, he would jack it all in Israel, Villa just have to call him, even as an assistant, defensive coach, get the guy in the door to lift the gloom around the place. Let him deal with the press conferences too as Houllier will be under too much pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsboots Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I think everyone loves a little bit of JG. Although in saying that he is over in Israel for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
