I agree. I hope this Dr Xia Villa owner tries to be clever and appoints someone right out of left-field.

.. who will leave within a year or two having pocketed immense sums and contributed nothing positive to the club.
No disrespect to either, players will flock to a club throwing money around but for the fans it's a mess. And it's not getting better. Look at Fulham, I would say they're pretty much the same club at this point - Premier League contracts, throwing money at Championship players, buying McCormack, and then not going anywhere and giving up trying.

I hope I'm wrong but I can't see that happening.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Big Sam back in management to help him forget the traumas of England. He took West Ham up from the Championship.
I can't see Steve Bruce going to Aston Villa after his Birmingham City connections; its such a highly-charged rivalry although his track record is good.

I see you're excluding "caretaker" appointments which doesn't suit a measure of managerial stability - should be included, no? If you do there have been a few more than that.

Yes you would add Wassall and Chris Powell - Trying to make the point though that we've not been that extreme, probably very similar to, erm, Brighton?

It has been suggested that Sam will be charged with bringing the game in to disrepute and banned from all football here but not sure how that would work if he takes a job in the USA. If he was banned by one member country of FIFA would it still be the same with another?
It appears Villa are going after the Huddersfield manager David Wagner. The question is, would he be willing to leave Huddersfield after such a good start?

The Villa job is far different to the one at Huddersfield. There is no quick fix there.

He's too smart to jump ship for that car crash. If he keeps Huddersfield in the top 6 this season, his stock will be a lot higher come May. The close bond with Klopp would probably land him a seat at the top table*.

If they didn't want Bluenose Bruce, Mick McCarthy wouldn't be a bad call - he certainly wouldn't take any nonsense from the chancers and layabouts that currently make up a good part of his squad.
