Whoever we get as manager - I hope they give you much greater scope to exploit your writing skills! I think we have seen enough of you trying to put a fresh viewpoint on the dross we have suffered in recent times.

As a fellow villain I must say we do on the whole provide good support to a team that sometimes doesn't seem to appreciate it.

We've had 8 years of tripe, quite frankly, I'm surprised we've stuck at it, especially when we are supposed to be so fickle!!

Albion fans booed the team off at HT, no one ever seems to call them fickle.

Villa need a manager to hit the ground running and inspire the supporters. Whether it’s the latest favourite Rui Faria, the recurrent Thierry Henry, the more experienced Brendan Rodgers (my own choice) or whoever, he needs to mould this bunch of individuals into a team and bring some hope into the lives of a fanbase that see the prospect of another season of rebuilding and consolidation after a summer that should have seen seen the final touches added to a table-topping team.

Nail. On. Head.

Very good article Dave, just a shame there wasn't better news to write about.

You are right about the fans, especially those that travel away to every game, if the managers and players had half their passion we wouldn't be in this mess. They don't deserve such loyalty, but no doubt the fans will be out in force again for the next game.
