I`ve changed my mind on who I`d favour to take the job now... my preference is Frank Lampard, hear me out whilst I tell you why.
Young upcoming and modern manager
Fresh out of the changing room himself
Would command respect from players and gives us a chnace of keeping our best players
He could attract better players than we could with Kovac or Pereira or whoever, similar to Gerrard at Aston Vanilla
Premier League experience, finished 4th with Chelsea whilst under a transfer embargo
Talks well and conducts himself well away from the pitch
Gives youth a chance
Wouldnt accept where we are now and ambitious
IMO wouldnt be hankering for another job i.e. Chelsea unlike what Villa have with Slippy
Emotionally detached from the club so emotions don`t cloud his professional judgment as with Rooney or Ferguson
All this makes sense to me, give him the job, even if he wanted 18 months then add an option to a further 12.
Then we can add a DoF and build towards the future, Lampard seems a lot like the
Moyes appointment and has a lot of the same attributes.
