Sir Graham of Taylor should be nowhere near that list.Remove.

Sir GT has 8 votes. Beggars belief.

Cant believe 5 people have voted for MON, cant believe he's even on the list.
Just goes to show how blinded some people really are by their hatred for the man.


He walked out on our club at the worst possible time, I can fully understand anyone's hatred of him.

For a generation of fans, he'll be remembered for two disgraceful derby games, and nothing else.

DOL, leaning against the dug out, arms folded, with that miserable, slightly evil stare. I can remember saying so many times 'why doesn't he change it?' He is my least favourite Villa Manager by some way.

Can the 6 who voted for MON explain how, by any definition, his reign was worse than DOL or the current shambles.

He walked out on us, ergo he's a cunt.

True, but not nearly as bad as the pig-nosed numpty, though.

Sorry, no chance. He doesn't earn the right not to be criticised for his second stint just because of his first. As brilliant as it was.
As far as i'm concerned, the credit in the bank that Graham Taylor has in the Villa bank means he shouldn't even be on that list.

GT should never have come back but i respect him greatly for having another crack at it. A fantastic manager and a Villa Legend.

Without logic you may as well choose at random thereby invalidating the vote.

O'Dreary for me, I had a season ticket and it put me off the Villa for a while, well until MoN came in... it was like having my teeth pulled in some games.

It's not a shambles at the moment, last night was a poor decision I'll admit. However since players have come back, we have been much improved and played some nice stuff. We are far from a shambles.

It's difficult to overstate the club's debt to Graham Taylor. Took over at one of the lowest points in our history, restored pride and our standing in the game in a (too) short period, and left us a legacy of, amongst other things, Platt, Yorke and McGrath. I believe all that, and I'm eternally grateful.

Voted for him though, as he was absolutely clueless with a very good set of players when he came back.

Sorry Sir Graham, you're still my hero.

......

I voted for O'Neil. It wasn't based on hatred or ****** factor. O'Leary edges him out on both.

None of those managers were/are going to win us anything. It's all about the legacy they leave behind them for the next guy. At least O'Leary's crap was easily disposed of, and he did actually leave a few good players, better than we now have.

O'Neil was like a kid in a sweetshop with all the money he had. He left us with an enormous wage bill and a small squad. Quite an achievement. We'll be living with the consequences for a while yet.

After seeing Small Heath win the League Cup and Tottenham strump Milan, I could not help but think that it should have been us - and would have been but for crass mismanagement.
