Dropping in to the relegation zone was the final nail in the coffin?

Tim Sherwood is the hot favourite for the job. Not sure about him.

Tim Sherwood is a **** and a **** manager.

Sherwood would be a definite upgrade on Lambert. Lee Hendrie reckons Simeone, or should I say 'Someone':



:D

Why on Earth would Simeone leave Madrid? Absolutely deluded :D.
 
If Simeone came to Villa I'd die of shock. Lets put that one to bed, never ever gonna happen.

If we get Warnock then I will seriously start supporting Southampton.

I just want us to get someone competent, motivational and up for the scrap. All qualities Lambert did not have.
 
I'm hearing it's down to Sherwood, Hoddle, Klinsmann and Clement.

Out of that bunch I'd go for either Klinsmann or Clement. Klinsmann is proven. Clement isn't but he has a good resume and could be one for the future.
 
Honestly as any up and coming manager I wouldn't remotely risk taking on QPR or Villa, even if you are a great or potentially great manager you could end up relegated. Doesn't matter how good you are if the previous 4-5 years of managers have been buying the wrong players, cultivating bad tactics, training, thinking. While there is every chance of say Paul Clement keeping them up, if his first job ends up with them being relegated it could harm his future chances of being offered a role he wanted.

Taking on Villa in the summer with a chance to bring some people in, clear some crud out and change probably a lot of everything with a season to improve and stay up is one thing. Taking over the current team in their current form with 2/3rd's of the season gone and in the bottom three is a very very different prospect. Little to no time to make major changes, huge changes to training, tactics, diet, anything, can take months to show a significant change in a team. Look at Spurs, people said they looked aimless and basically crap for the first 2-3 months before they started to look like Poch knew what he was doing. Spurs from say November are unrecognisable as the team playing now. Real change takes time to establish itself.

The only manager there who if I was in their situation I would take the job, would be Hoddle. He's old, he's just looking for a pay cheque, he's not very good and if he gets relegated it won't matter in the slightest. He'd still get punditry work regardless, the others frankly have very little to gain and too much to lose. Klinsmann probably has a good enough reputation as a manager for people to blame the situation rather than him, but I still wouldn't take the job in his position.
 
Think I'd want Klinsmann from that lot. He done pretty well with all of the teams he's managed and he's managed to keep the USA a competitive force after Bradley left. Though I'm not sure why he'd leave sunny California for the depths of hell we like to call Birmingham :p.

Big gamble taking Sherwood on imo. Had about 5 minutes managerial experience managing Spurs who lets be honest have a slightly better squad to work with than Villa!

Having said that they should be good enough to stay up especially if he can actually get Benteke back to goalscoring....or well anyone goalscoring :p
 
Sunderland's problems go way beyond managerial. They have a dire team and squad. Dick Advocaat has a job on his hands.

As a Mag, I'm a little sad that Agent Poyet has been compromised.
