Apparently David Moyes has been offered the post a VP.
His Brother is discussing details with VP officials.
Please let this come off.

Really hope so, now owner in place and Celtic job gone why not? Was always my first choice with Pearson close second!
22 May 2016 18:17:27
I agree. I said this nearly 3 hours ago. I'd be happy with either moyes or Pearson though tbh.
22 May 2016 18:51:55
Blimey, we could have a full house on this one. Great fit for us.
22 May 2016 18:57:09
I know football decisions twist and turn, but old moyesy blanked us a month or so ago, other options available; now celtic job gone; thought he had a chance with the valencia job, gone (nice to see phil neville's powers of persuasion as good as his defending).
he even looked at holland, italy and gave an interview saying how exciting china sounded, well played david, now nothing gone his way he condescends to agreeing to look at us again. what are we, the booby prize?
i can't stand him, but pearson has the better record for working with a mixed bag, sad day indeed to plumb for pearson, i'd love glen hoddle on board for the style of football we'd play, but no hope of that happening.
22 May 2016 19:28:28
The criteria should be is he the best man for the job on the pitch and someone who won't embarrass the club off the pitch
Moyes ticks both boxes
Now is not the time for childish, petty grievances to surface
Would you not consider your options in the same position?
22 May 2016 19:30:52
Enough said about Hoddle, good footballer but not a good person with his morals, leave well alone.
22 May 2016 20:00:46
I agree with classof82 and his views on Moyes, get the best man for the job, get Alladyce

I live in Wolverhampton (I consider it missionary work) and the fans here tell me how awful the football was under Hoddle. Slow, boring and predictable
Not my opinion, I'm quoting people who were watching it week after week
As for his off field stuff, I'm with Villadave.
22 May 2016 20:18:49
Allyp, Just a point I would like to make about the Moyes situation.
If you were offered £50,000 a week to manage Villa, and at the same time you were offered £75,000 a week to manage Walsall, which job would you take?
Hypothetically of course.
22 May 2016 20:30:09
A tough no nonsense scot is just what we need to drive the team back into the premier league. He will have a point to prove as his last two jobs have been poor.
22 May 2016 20:50:13
How can any villa fan turn there heads at moyes. He would be a great signing for us. We were shocking last year and need a good solid manager who can sort out the dross at villa.
I don't care who else he has thought about joining, take your villa glasses of and be honest after the past few years would you have joined us.
I'd love him to join and will back him and the new owner 100%. vtid.

Allyp1972, if Sunderland had been relegated instead of us and we had Allardyce as our manager, how hard would you laugh at Sunderland fans suggesting they should get our manager?
My guess is you'd damage some internal organs.
22 May 2016 20:59:51
I agree I think we need someone like moyes, Pearson would also be a good choice but maybe moyes would be a tad better at motivating the team.
22 May 2016 21:02:08
Moyes just feels like the right man at the right time and haven't felt that way about a villa manager appointment for a long time. Exciting times ahead i feel (and hope and pray)!
22 May 2016 21:31:00
I think we wouldn't of gone down under Alladyce, there was a crossover of about a week when he got the Sunderland job, then Sherwood got sacked and though he was on a hiding to nothing, Garde got the Villa job, we should have got Alladyce then, Alladyce became West Ham manager when they got relegated, got them back up, steadied the ship, that what we need because he's 'been there, done that', got a raw deal in being moved on, it's just my opinion that he's the best man for the job, I've got no problem with Moyes tbh, just think Alladyce ticks all the boxes

I think moyes and Pearson would both do a job . I'd favor Pearson if I had the choice as everything about moyes bores me. him on tv his football style the lot. but that being said I think he will get us back and to top 6 to 8 places.
22 May 2016 23:39:10
Gentlemen, gentlemen, where to begin, a learned fan speaks of motivating the players; on this point did pearson not motivate a rock bottom leicester to go on an eight out of ten winning streak, as for glen hoddle and drab football at wolves, at that time i think the owners were in a chop and change mode.
you have to work with what you've got, they went through quite a few managers while trying to sell the club on the q.t., i don't think if i was a player i'd be inspired by a revolving door of managers, as for davey moyes, at everton he managed there for 11 years i think (apologies if wrong), at the 'peoples club' to coin the phrase he used.
he was frugal and worked within set parameters, each season buying 1 or 2 players to improve the squad, which we know he did, but if you ask any evertonian about the moyes years and they'll say he steadied the ship and then moved forward, what they'll also say is that the unsung heroes behind the scenes were steve round and alan stubbs, and drunken duncan fergueson.
we don't have a decade to rebuild, ford xia wants us up and lively! so no, moyes type of managing is slow and laborious, even at the end the toffee fans wanted him out because they were bored of it all.
now we come to alladyce, i back Allyp1972, we should have gone for him, we wouldn't be in the hoofers league if we had, he knows what to do, the dark arts and has more bloody contacts than moyesy, that's a fact you can take to the bank, his signings in january were nothing short of genius, that's why wenger hates him.
wenger is a student of the game, tactics etc, sam is old school, build on an airtight defence, win your home games, target certain away games, anything else is a bonus, the owner of sunderland mr. short wants to sell the club, and in football 24 hours is a lifetime, so you never know, but if sam does become available do a cloughy, lock him in a room and don't let him out till he signs on the dotted line!
and a quick note for mendax, you have my deepest sympathy and admiration sir, there's missionary work, and then there's Missionary Work! remember deep breaths and count to 10 or i'm guessing 20 when dealing with the yokels!
23 May 2016 05:43:34
There's a bit of 'looking at who's available' for the job, managers out of work, if we've got the money, go get the best, the same can be said about players, generally they're going to be contracted to other clubs, I think the Villa job would appeal to Alladyce, have you ever been to Sunderland? It's like going back in time? and going back to what 82 has said before, my guess is that Moyes is waiting for the call from Everton. On a side note, they say women are like buses, in Wolverhampton, they actually are.

I told my mrs what you said Allyp1972 about the doris's from wolverhampton and she was flabbergasted, to be honest though its only in the last couple of years shes put on the extra 'bergasted', hopefully after the bread and water diet she'll be back down to only the flab!
23 May 2016 13:13:45
Carbs are the enemy mate, the best diet is no eating till Villa win an away match, it'll melt off her 👍🏻💁
