The Ultimate Choice

[Chipsticks]

Or Sheffield Wednesday.

Don't even start.

Even though they aren't as big as us, did anyone really expect Cov, Southampton, Derby, Ipswich, Charlton etc to be out the top flight so long when they got relegated?

Between the two options, I'd take the Championship. I would genuinely be interested to see our youngsters dominate in the second tier and hopefully mature them into Premier League players. It would also be a good chance to get rid of all the ageing deadwood and replace them with younger players from lower in the leagues like Rhodes.

It's Lerners fault were in this position so he can take the hit in his "billionaire" pockets when we go down.

Losing a loved parent is a devastating event Kingy.   It makes you look at life in a very different way.   With respect I do not think your sadness has diminished your assessment of  what football and Villa mean to you, it has clarified it.   I want option 2 for very personal reasons and that is I do not have many more seasons left in me and if I am going to see us become a club to be reckoned with again the sooner we start the rebuilding process the better.   Lerner is not going to allow any manager the amounts of money needed to put out a ready made good team so it has to be built brick by brick and the Premiership is merciless in its punishment of  the cheap and cheerful teams our owner appears to want us to emulate.

Strange thing is that I hate what the top division has become. The greed, the cheating, the feigning injury and Sky Sports obsession with the Top 4 or Top 5 or what ever team is now delivering 'mouth watering' football on 'Sky Super Sunday'
Why do I feel sick at the thought of loosing it ?

Think of how many goals Bent would score in the championship providing we keep hold of him. On the downside there is not many internet streams of championship games which is how i watch villa.

Prem with the Clown for me, both are depressing though!

[Ger Regan]

Why anyone would think that getting rid of McLeish at any cost will mean a brighter future for Villa is beyond me. The board have proved that they're hopeless at appointing managers. I'd also say that there's as much chance of him staying / leaving whatever happens at the end of the season.

[WarleyWonder]

Mcleish must have very thick skin to not realise that we don't want him and have never wanted him his track record says it all. He is officially the biggest waste of space we have ever had. Bring back Venglos !!!!!

[mikeb1982]

Sophie's choice! Stay in Prem with Eck, only because I don't think we'll come back anytime soon if we go down

My feelings exactly. 

Like an addiction - you know it's bad for you but you keep on wanting it.

Strangly I think we have more of a chance of keeping McLeish if we go down
