I've got more concern about other stuff at the Villa at the moment to consider if I would boo the potential return of MON.

Yeah, really.

To think people were worried about vuvuzelas at VP after the World Cup.

I think he will be sat in the stand at some point - as England manager.

At least if MON returned we'd have somewhere to stick the vuvuzelas!

I dearly hope this comes to pass. Both as someone who is a member of the tartan army (winning is not everything!) and as someone who wants to see his bloated undeserved reputation to be punctured fatally once and for all.

Wouldn't it be better if the Holte chanted 'Martin, Give us a wave, Martin, Martin give us a wave.' and as he did, everyone just shouted 'Now Fuck Off'?

I'm with Taxdodger on this.
You're going soft, Chico. I really thought I'd have you giving it the away goalie treatment. Must be all the Pimms you drink down there.

I'd be very surprised if he'd return with a Premier club, only the likes of Wigan or West Brom would employ him.
He'll see himself as bigger than that.

Total silence would be better than booing.

Depends whether it turned out for the best for the club.

If we get a really good Manager in and the effect is so very positive, just ignore the bloke as he's done us a favour - not that he meant to mind you.

I always concentrate on Villa and all things Villa than the opposition and its Manager myself.

Fuck off O'Neill  >:(

Makes you wonder what kind of reception Ron Saunders would get in this day and age if he did what he did now?
Imagine the bulging veins then!

two wembley trips last year, consistent top six position in a very very competitive league.  Leaves my club, surely the pinnicle of football jobs days before the league starts.  Fills my club with players like Dunne, A Young, Cuellar, Downing, Warnock, Friedel but also signs some clowns on high wages.  Swings and roundabouts therefore for me.  So I will unleash the "disinterested poker face" on him, see how he likes that.  That'll learn him

I think it would depend on the timing.

If he rocked up, say this season with Newcastle, giving it the Billy Big Bollocks and made out that he was hard done by, that we'd never had it so good et.c, he'd deserve a Hodge-esque welcome.

If it was two/three years down the track as manager of some plucky underdog in the cup -and if he's expressed remorse in the build up-  I think he'd get a decent reception.

Everyone can drop a bollock. Maybe it was one game of upmanship with the board too many, they called his bluff and before he knew it there was no going back. He might be sitting at home right now regretting it.

Wouldn't boo or cheer him. I appreciate the good things he did for the club but he has destroyed those memories and the respect I had for him in which the way he left.
