That point of view is miles away from it pointing to villa "doing it on the cheap", Stu. Imaginative or not, I think Lerner will be picking who he feels is best for the position, not who is the cheapest.
What harm? He's inexperienced at this level and as such will be still learning the ropes while at the same time trying to get us to progress. It could set us back 3-4 years.

If he does get the job, then for me it'll just show that Villa are doing things on the cheap again.While you're at it, you may as well add Martin Jol to that list. He'd be cheaper than O'Neill too.Probably would be. The point I'm making is that it's not the most imaginative appointment is it? Based as it would be on KM having coached the youth set up for 11 years and one good performance in his first game.I'm sorry, I just don't think KM is the man for the job. I think it'd be a thoroughly uninspiring appointment.

I think it'd be a thoroughly uninspiring appointment.I remember people had similar thoughts when we appointed Ron Saunders.I still think he'd be happier and of better service to us coaching with the first team squad. The man has a talent, it seems mad to try and force it to be something it's not, at least not yet. Leave him in charge until we find the right man, whoever and whenever that may be.
I'm not sure I know what an imaginitive managerial appointment would consist of. Three legs, four arms and two heads is very imaginitive. Physical theatre impresario Stephen Berkoff taking slow motion, deconstructed training with an invisible concept ball is imaginitive. Or does it mean imaginitive like Juande Ramos, Felipe Scolari, Jacques Santini etc...

Unimaginative AND cheap KM getting the job would just remind me of Gregory getting appointed, or Sir Graham's second time in charge. Wrong men at the wrong time. And they came cheap.
