Who's next for the Villa job?

[FredPuli43]

Paul Lambert, of Norwich, is my guess. Has a reputation as a miracle worker after his stints at Colchester and there. Or do you think Villa will go for someone with greater experience at the top level? Who?

After this last season, why would Lambert choose Villa over Norwich?

sorry was typing my question when yours went on


Gordon Cowans for me.

[Philtaz]

Wild guess....Steve Bruce.

[FredPuli43]

Why choose Villa ? Much bigger club, long history, better money, Lambert must like a challenge, it would be step up for him, getting free of his contract won't cost Villa much.... Old Villa fans must be used to all this. There was a time, after all, when Villa was seen as the yo-yo club!

Mmmmm - Norwich mid-table team, financially sound....... Villa relegation scrap, Why would he go there?

well, he did say he wanted a break from football :-)

Mr Lerner appears financially sound and took over a club which wasn't achieving much. Norwich weren't exactly flying or loaded with money when Lambert took over. That's why I think he'd take it if offered; the owner might like him because he can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. And the team wasn't relegated, so he'll not have a mass exodus of his best players on that account.
