If Roy leaves - Chris Hughton is stand out candidate for me..

The fact that we were very close to signing him when RDM left suggests that he would possibly be the stand out candidate from the boards view.

It looks to me as if Roy will stay now but Hughton for me should be manager of the year for what he achieved so far this season .

I'm surprised Holloway isn't mentioned in all of this. He got 39 points with a Blackpool team that cost essentially nothing, and had a wage cap of 10k I seem to remember. They were by far and away the poorest monetary team in the league yet still got a points total that would keep them up 9 times out of 10. All whilst playing very exciting football.

If they'd had more money and been able to spend a bit on the defence they would have been fine. Likewise this season they lost their 3 best players and had to rely on free transfers, and are once again over achieving.

That said, if Hodgson is available he's by far the best choice. But Holloway mixes experience with potential. All he needs is a chance to prove himself at a team with more resources.

Can somebody please remove Martin O'neil from the options.

Either that or add in Moyes, Ferguson and Wenger

wbatillidie · « **Reply #30 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:45:27 PM »

If Hodgson does go from that list i'd want Hughton, although i'd also be interested in Adkins but not sure he'd leave Southampton with them pretty much promoted.

Am I the only one who doesn't rate O'Neill? I think the Villa situation going pearshaped was in no small part down to him, he lacks imagination and ran out of ideas towards the end of his reign (ie he couldn't overpay for British talent anymore).

GrGr you're not the only one, I think O'Neil is over rated too. He signed the likes of Marlon Harewood at Villa say no more.

No I think you will find that you are not the only one. Would not want O'Neil anywhere near the club over paid over rated and yes the Villa are in the mess they're in in no small part to O'Neil being let lose with the owners cheque book. I wouldn't have Bruce & Hughes for similar reasons.

I wouldn't like Curbishley, rejected us before because we were apparently "below" him. Can't stand the arrogant tool. Let him go to W*lves in the Championship.

And rightly so. At the time, our chairman refused to spend the money NEEDED to stay in the Prem.

Curbishley is a fantastic manager who would produce the same sort of results as Hodgson but do it in a more entertaining way.

What makes you say that? He is hardly known for playing stylish football, quite the opposite in fact

Indeed I believe the West Ham fans slaughted him during his time there for his unattractive style of play. Remember Quashie being a scape goat during his time there.

right I have voted for two managers but I don't really want either, I'm going to vote for other and suggest that if Hodgson goes to England (which won't happen anyway) why don't we go after Stuart Pearce?

Two managers??? You either work for the FA...or the Daily Mail.

DownInAlbion · « **Reply #39 on:** April 29, 2012, 07:57:24 PM »

I cant see Roy turning down the England job at all its anyones dream especially if your getting to the end of your career...so if he goes who would you want?
For me Paola Di Canio is my ideal choice.
Too early for Appleton/McIness
I would love AVB but are we too small for him?
other options Martinez?
Hughton?
Poyet?
Ole Gunar Solksjaer?

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #40 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:00:48 PM »

We could also bare in mind that Roy Hodgson is still Albion head coach at this moment in time so threads like this are perhaps premature. I don't really know who I'd fancy to be honest either which is what worries me the most.

That Guardiola fella is available isn't he?

wbako · « **Reply #42 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:07:34 PM »

I'd go all out to persuade Paul Lambert we are a more progressive club than Norwich.

AlbionBest · « **Reply #43 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:16:47 PM »

Very difficult to follow Hodgson as he's proved how much we needed the know-how of a current Prem level manager.
Part of me would like Hughton but he still so untried at the top level and we cannot afford to gamble and fall back to the bad old yo-yo days. Then again, some of the so-called experianced managers that we could get don't fill me with much hope (eg Bruce).

Still, Roy might still be here yet !

I like him. Done very well at Scunny and Southampton. Can't see him leaving Southampton now they have been promoted.

OldburyWBA · « **Reply #47 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:20:10 PM »

Solskjaer, Michael Laudrup or maybe Chris Hughton

BB74 · « **Reply #48 on:** April 29, 2012, 08:22:25 PM »

Worrying thing for me is we are due a bogey. All our appointments have been so successful under Peace (question marks over Robson). I would like to see Ollie Gunnar in.

Jeremy is probably interviewing has we speak . You don't think he will let the grass grow under his feet ,specially with season tickets about to go on sale
