briny_ear Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) No idea who we should get but I'd like to lay down two conditions: (a) the next one should not also have a job with a national side, nor have a book to sell; (b ) after two disastrous tries at making appointments, Paul Lambert - the clueless one - should have no involvement in the next one. Surely Tom Fox must know of someone decent? Edited November 28, 2014 by briny_ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Why do we need a "villa person" ? We need the best quality we can attract Because we are struggling. People are starting to loose faith in the club. We need someone who will die for the club and inspire people and make them understand just how great this club is. Apart from that JG proved to be a great AM under BL, so even though there might be "better" candidates out there, he is a great choice. I wouldn't want Gregory anywhere near our club. He's a footballing dinosaur. I wonder if Eddie Howe fancies a no2 role at Villa? Edited November 28, 2014 by Robbie09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villastine Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 We need an assailant manager and a first team/development coach. Steve Round would be a good shout and I think we should offer someone like Brain McDermott a first team coach/player development role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philwhitters Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Steve Clarke, Ray Wilkins and Rene Meulensteen. All successful number 2's and out of the game at the moment. Someone that can give a bit of confidence and enthusiasm. Like Sammy Lee has done his whole career. edit: i think Wilkins is in Jordan.

HanoiVillan Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Couldnt agree more with isa. The primary determining quality should be, can he clear his desk in ten minutes flat when the whole management team are shown their way to the exit in a few weeks time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 anyone really, as long as they can teach us how to keep possession at our own throw ins that would be a start imo. Oh Lord, I wish I was joking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's be honest, the assistant is going to be identified by Paul Lambert alone. That automatically means that he won't be very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He managed to get his left-back right the 3rd time around, maybe he can do the same with his assistant 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I don't think we'll be able to get someone like Clarke, to come in as the assistant, it'll be someone who'd come knowing that it'll most likely be a short-term thing probably someone like the Scottish coach who was linked before the season started.

NIVillan Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Brian Little, not up to much these days He was just announced as Head of Football for Jersey I think Ron Saunders might want to top up his pension!

John Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I guess some candidates would place more pressure on the manager than he would want. But we need the best man for the job irrespective of that. I wonder whether Fox might sound out someone with Arsenal connections or if the manager will look at someone like Dean Saunders who is looking to get back into the game if not Stark who does look a very decent shout?

Uncle Albert Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Who in there right mind would want to come in and work under lambert? Most would rather be a trolley boy at aldi, Steve Clarke? More like Ryland Clarke. Any reputable football coach/assistant will avoid the job like the plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Don't think we'll go anywhere near Saunders after what happened at Wolves. Stark seems the most obvious shout if not him someone who Lambert has worked with in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
