Genuinely would go for Mick McCarthy. People will say old school and should retire, but only 63 (don't be ageist), promotion at Sunderland and Wolves, play off with Ipswich, did ok with Cardiff. Somehow made ROI competitive and always come across as honest and engaging. I think young and hungry always sounds great on paper, but IMHO he'd command respect and discipline.
Ipswich fans we spoke to on Saturday said Mccarthy's football was dire to watch and gates dropped off.
Gates dropped off, impressive.
Gates? He must have been nearly 70 when Mccarthy was at Ipswich. A miracle if he was still in the team.
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
Which is why they will never let him go . Ludicrous to suggest that he will come anywhere near us .

You do realise Villa don’t have him chained up. He’s not a slave and if he want to leave there’s not too much they can do about it.

But he will be under contract so they can still refuse any approach, especially if they want a compensation value beyond what we're happy to pay
If he's desperate to take the role, they could piss him off, but he'll still have to get on with his current job until he can leave at the end of whatever his current deal is.

We all know that’s not how it works though don’t we. If someone wants out there’s little point in standing in their way. Villa would be mad to try and hold onto someone who doesn’t want to be there. I’m sure they wouldn’t.

How many times will Gallen go to clubs looking to sign a player, yet get told: "No thanks he's not for sale" - We wont hear about those will we

You wouldn't expect many clubs to stand in the way of a coach getting an opportunity as manager.

Players possibly but I doubt any club would stand in the way of the ambitions of coaching staff.

Can you imagine if our star striker just upped and left despite having a contract, I mean he isn't a slave you know. I am sure we would just wish him well and let him dance off on his merry way......

players and coaches are different though aren’t they ? If Jason got the gig as manager at eg Wimbledon, who of Charlton supporters would call him a Judas. None that’s who.

Why are they? Managers are treated the same as players.
I think it's different if your just a coach. Gerrard and Beale are a bit of a double act aren't they?
If he is as highly rated by Villa, $tevie G MBE and the fans as some suggest it would be strange if they just let him walk off.
I remember thinking, 'Lennie Lawrence?' What are they thinking of! Something ditto with Gritt and Curbs. As Beale once played with us as a junior player he obviously knows we are a basket case club. Whoever we get needs to be well organised, very lucky and hope the buying team get their act together. Sir Chris did fantastically well, so it can be done.

You might be right but I can’t see Villa, the fans or Stevie G MBE standing in his way if he gets the chance and wants to manage.
Mate at QPR (season ticket holder) said that it’s the best football they’ve played for years under Warbs but priorities are on attack rather than defence. Attributes a lot of their down form to having all their keepers out and having to play their second choice youth keeper
The more I hear and read about Warburton the more I think he’s the best choice. It also makes me think he’ll sadly have bigger offers than ours.
Regardless of what people say, and the mental gymnastics they use to get there, hand on heart almost everyone would have taken Warburton when Bowyer and Adkins left regardless of who the other candidates were.
Just look at the thread about the rumours he was leaving QPR.
I think he is in the top 2 or 3 realistic candidates but he needs the tools to do his job and replicate his success. Obviously that means good players but HIS players and HIS staff. His two immediate predecessors didn't get that.
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."
Les Reid was a very good coach - that didn't make him a good manager.

The best quote from Gerrard about him is:
"It would take me 15 to 20 years to become as good as Michael Beale as an on-pitch coach, delivering sessions on a daily basis, so I let Mick be Mick because he's the expert."

If we came 7th or 8th, but showed real signs of progression, with a team of young players really bonding together and playing nice football, then no
