The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[Macho Man Randy Savage]

I'm sorry General but that is probably the worst performance I have seen since doncaster. I am not expecting villa to win every match they play. The worst aspect of the game was we were out fought and the opposition had more desire and more hunger. I am not saying this is MacDonald's fault but a decision needs to be made.

We either need a new manager and coaching team ASAP or MacDonald needs to be given the tools to do the job. I blame this on the fact the coaching team is too thinly spread. If this goes on for the medium term, will we be bringing in extra coaches on a temporary basis?

I am sorry for the frustration but a 4-0 loss against a newly promoted team (who the wife supports) is not good enough.

It actually finished 6-0 in the end!

So painful (gloating Geordie wife!). This is not the performance of a team with Champions League ambitions. Further investment is needed in the team and now the Management structure. It seems that we are ready to write off the season and blame it on the manager leaving. We are one of the top 15-20 teams in the world (on reputation and last seasons performance), lets get a manager to reflect that and invest. We cannot afford to slip back along the sides like Fulham, Birmingham and Sunderland.

BTW I don't blame you personally general. We could have done with you fight in the team.

General

If there was any doubt before today, we need to appoint a very good manager and   be active in the transfer market (in and out) as soon as possible.

[Monty]

General,

Hope that game wasn't too bad for your health!

[Toronto Villa]

General, I'm stating the obvious by saying that was murder. You'll be feeling it as much as we are. We need to get a top manager in a soon as possible.

[BannedUserIAT]

General,

Will the players be donating this weeks salary to ACORNS? They sure as hell don't deserve to the extortionate money they get*

General,

Please please please get Martin Jol asap. Even if you have to kidnap him to get him here.

Thank you

Is it not already too late to do that though ?

Whilst it was a dismal result, General, it shows that RL is right to take his time to decide who to take over as manager.
On last weeks results KM was many's immediate choice, now I doubt he's anyone's.
The decision has to be right as there is no sensible time left to bring in players, even if there is the money, before the deadline, so we need a man capable of managing what we have well and possibly, if today was an indicator, whilst under immediate pressure.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

General - New manager needed before Thursday please who is prepared to ship some of that shit out and get some proper players in. I'm not blaming Kevin Mac the players should hang their heads in shame after that 'performance'

I can (just about) accept a walloping from the likes of Chelsea last season, but not a against a very average team, who will not finish above the bottom 6.

[taylorsworkrate]

General,

Can the fans who went to the game today be refunded?

[Jimbo]

This will test Randy's mettle. The time to act is now.

[eastie]

general how can kmac just say on radio he will decide after everton whether or not he wants the job - the transfer window closes a day later!

this is not good enough , we need a manager in now , you have had 2 weeks to sort this , and a new man needs at least a week to deal in the market!

I think a decision needs to be made now. Maybe any new manager would be expensive (coaches and possible compensation). They would also want to bring in players. By waiting until after the Everton game this would avoid the need for excessive investment.

Yep. I don't see what good or difference it'll make if Randy goes for Bob Bradley... like Macdonald, Bradley has never managed a team in Europe with no experience managing at this level. It wouldn't make much sense gving Macdonald a go then laying him off and hiring Bradley for the job. I really want Jol or Hiddink...
