The next manager appointment (new thread)

Anyone but this bloke.

I just don’t think we’re a particularly appealing prospect for a manager at all. Worst case scenario we’re in the championship, best case scenario we’re coming off the back of a 4th consecutive slog against relegation. There are very few good players to work with, both the club and the owners have a reputation for sacking managers, the fan base is notoriously volatile, there’s no existing structure in place to work with, and we have no recent record of success. If it's now rather than the end of the season then even more so, as there's the possibility of getting us relegated.

Obviously the wages and the opportunity to work in the PL will be a factor, but realistically there aren’t going to be top managers fighting over the vacancy for any other reason.

I agree with this. There were people thinking we could attract Thomas Tuchel a few years back.

That Ancelotti took the job has skewed peoples expectations imo.

For where we are, and especially if we're going to be looking soon, it likely means taking a punt on someone which is an enormous risk or going for a safer candidate.

In turn that means that 90% of people will end up dissatisfied.

The only exception to that is someone like Unai Emery But even then Villa had stable ownership that are well resourced. TFG are well resourced too but a lot more work to be done here.

I disagree.

As long as we`re not in the Championship, a shiny all singing dancing new stadium, with so many dud players out of contract, a chance to mould a new team into your own playing style ( within PSR of course ), a five mil a year salary and hopefully a proper functioning ownership, rather than a boggle eyed interfering idiot, I`d say we`ll be a very attractive proposition to manage.

Definitely
There's no down side

 

[PITA]

You haven’t told us anything though

To be fair, he is making more sense he usually does.

 

[PITA]

Watch that decimal point move left if he takes over here...

How many places are we talking?

 

[jamieni]

Definitely

It’s all about how convincing TFG are to any prospective manager. Offer a good salary and demonstrate a clear plan for improving the squad and I’d say we can attract a very good calibre of manager.

he says it best, when he says nothing at all

 

[Delargeinho]

I could deal with Conceicao.

 

[Runub]

Results not convincing. They convinced me. SACK!!!!

 

[OnlyTheBestIsGoodEnough]

I could deal with Conceicao.

What's your take on him, 350 plus games at an average of 2.29 points per game is pretty impressive

 

[Lanolin]

It’s all relative I suppose. Do I think we’d be an appealing prospect to someone like Graham potter or conceicao who are out of a job and not necessarily seen as big fish, or to someone coming from a non big 5 league or something? Definitely. I really doubt we look like a good bet to someone who’s genuinely in demand though, or who has a decent job already. I’d love to be wrong like, but I fear that decades of mismanagement put us a little lower in neutrals eyes than we might care to admit.
