Football commentary equivalent of Fred Trueman (knows exactly what should have been done - after it has gone wrong)

A fascinating thread, illustrating that whoever gets the job will be greeted with a collective groan of disapproval by about 80% of the fanbase

I don't think so. The fact that we had to choose one was tricky - I'm sure most people could have picked several candidates they'd be happy(ish) with

Of course, but there are some definite "camps"... experienced "sort em out" candidates, younger but with potential candidates, completely left field candidates and Eddie devotees like me.

I don't realistically expect to get my wish but I do look down the list at some of them and think "please no"...

can't disagree, I'm neither particularly for or against any of the potential candidates so will give it a bit of a meh when it's announced

[gut feel, someone like Pearson who can put rockets up back-sides. No chance Terry will leave Villa when they're doing so well]

Any of these - Rafa, AVB, Sarri, EH, Pearson, Jardim, Lampard, Vieira, Terry, Klinsmann, Wagner.

Sarri and Rafa!......seriously what's the point of mentioning them?

 

[Steady Eddie 1]

Pearson will knock this rabble into shape

Because they're available lol, Sarri turned down Marseille today

Serious suggestion this time: Darren Moore.

Did well as caretaker at West Brom and was unlucky he didn't manage to save them from relegation. Then had them 4th in the table the next season when they sacked him.

Took over at Doncaster and now has them third in the L1 table but with games in hand that could take them clear.

He's young for a manager and likes to play attacking and expressive football (from a little reading around, I haven't seen them play).

Plus, stealing Doncaster's manager would feel like some very, very cold served revenge.

Yes like this. Not many names have perked my interest, but this one would have me intrigued.

Just imagine how Adam Smith could improve under his tutelage.

I came across this in visiting the Oatcake - a sin I know but I was bored - so if he were available it has to be Sean Dyche.

Is klinsmann also good at defending when last man at far post ?

Oh dear 5 years in the prem have really made some of our fans rather deluded re our pulling power for some of the names mentioned.
