To do list if you were appointed as new manager
« on: September 13, 2010, 11:04:11 PM »
1. Find a new team captain to replace Petrov

2. Get Richard Dunne on fitness program to get him in shape.

3. Find out if we got a decent striker in the rank we can use apart from Heskey and Carew.

4. Sell (or give away) Heskey, Carew, Petrov, Beye, Davies and Sidwell.

5. Hire some scouts

6. Find a new Didger Drogba/Ruud Van Nistelrooy to lead our attack, and Michael Owen or new young hot property as back up cover for Agbonlahor and new striker.

7. Hire a former striker to coach our attack.

8. Find a new Powerful Left Back similar to Stuart Pearce or Andrea Brehmes or Roberto Carlos

9. Find a heavyweight midfield general with leadership and drive (no idea who (but a central midfielder version of Martin Laursen would do nicely with good knees :)

10. Bring in 3 or 4 promising young French players to give us option.

11. Set up exclusive alliance between Villa and French Football Academy (Former Employer)

12. Hire some good coach and assistant.

13. Make us play football like Arsenal or Barcelona or Spain :)

14. Get our defenders to defend for 100 minutes properly together.

15. Find a new Martin Laursen.

I agree.

I can't believe we haven't found a new Stuart Pearce, Brehme, Drogba or Van Horseyboy yet.

What an oversight.

Also, if we don't play like Barcelona or Spain on Saturday, I'm going to buy a season ticket just to send it back and hound the General on his thread.

1.  Reply to FFF's invitation to their Halloween Party, saying I'll be going as an apparition.

2. Inform McDonald he's in charge for that day.

We need to: Get Dunne fit. Get Warnock in some sort of form. Replace Stan. Ship the crap out. Let Friedel and Carew go on frees and replace with better players on smaller wages.

1. Walk out on the French FA.

2. Arrive at Bodymoor Heath.

3. Pull in Dunne, Warnock, Petrov, Ashley Young and Carew. Shout loudly at them for half an hour. Mostly along the lines of 'Get your F****** act together or I'll sell you to Middlesborough.

4. Call up some good scouts and send them out to look for players.

5. Watch training.

6. See whose performing and not. Make conclusions based on that along with my coaches.

7. Decide who has a long term future at the club.

11. Set up exclusive alliance between Villa and French Football Academy (Former Employer)

What's in it for them?

First thing I'd do is find out who our scouts are and - if they're still alive - I'd send them far and wide (imagine that scene in Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader sends the bounty hunters looking for Han and Leia) on a search for an absolute bastard for our midfield, someone in the mould of Keane or Vieira.  How many games did you see their teams throw away in the last ten minutes?  It doesn't even have to be a Roy Keane, a Kevin Richardson would do.  Someone with some fucking presence.

We're far too bloody nice.  We need someone on the pitch that the rest of the team respect and maybe even fear a little bit.

1) Play Cuellar at right back and L Young at left back

2) Play James Milner instead of NRC

3) Play our new defensive midfield general instead of Petrov

4) Play Ashley Young on one wing and Downing on the other

5) Play our new fast and powerful striker alongside Gabby.

Sorted.

All of the above except Petrov, I'd keep him he does a lot of good work and needs support my Lord.

Strap Dunne to a running machine until he loses his weight and learns to concentrate. v
