If I was Randy Lerner they'd be:

What are your ambitions for this club, where should we be in four years time?
Will you take the cup competitions seriously? We need some silver here you know
Here's £40m, how are you going to spend my money?
If I were Randy Lerner, those would not be questions, it would be more like:

These are my ambitions for the club, this is where we expect to be in four years time.  Can you achieve that and how?
You will take the cup competitions seriously, ok?
When you identify a player that you want to buy, come to me with a sensible case and I will support you. Any issues with that?

100% agree, Randy sets out what HE wants and the new manager must provide a case for why he is the right man to achive it.

Personally I think Randy should set out what the FANS want to achieve for the club and the candidate must provide a case for why he is the right man to achieve it.

Do you agree tips are an unneccessary additional expense

How would you react if I told you there was a fly in my soup

1/ Do you think you could knock out Ian Holloway in one punch ?

2/ When the fans randomly sing "shit on the City" can you sing it with them ?

3/ If you play a shit team in a cup and lose. Will you accept a major kicking from the
    Holte End ?

More talking up of Steve Maclaren in the Graun this morning. Cannot be a good sign.

Fair enough, there are not too many candidates (that seem to be interested, i.e., not just gone off on a sabbatical at the thought of the Villa job). But given the two biggish names that are definitely available (Hughes and Maclaren), why are we prefering the latter to the former?

Is it really because Paul Faulkner doesn't want to annoy his bezzie Alistair Macintosh? (Find it quite hard to imagine that Randy has summoned the time and energy to be "really unimpressed by the manner of Hughes' departure" as is recorded in the media.)

Is this the same Paul Faulkner who brought things to a head with MON last July? With no plan B.

Who is Paul Faulkner? What is he doing at our club? What are his credentials, his pedigree?

Q1 - can you sort out some under performing senior players ?

Q2 - could you work with young players like Bannan/Gardner/Delph/Albrighton/Clark/Hogg/Herd/Lichaj ?

Q3 - can you put the smile back on the faces of Villa fans ? 

please start today

How would you manage to convince people that, having fielded a weak side in a cup match, it was your decision and that 'they' did not have any say in it?

What are your ambitions with Villa?
Approach to the game, defensive or attacking minded?
Youth squad, will you help develop young players?
