Leaving when he did limited our options.I'd say the apparent reluctance to "poach" somebody else's manager has been more of a limiting factor. I have to say that without actually knowing who the boss will be yet, I'm very disappointed with the list of names so far. I'm trying to talk myself into being excited by a Houllier/MacDonald partnership, but in truth it's really not what I expected to see 5 years in now that O'Neill has left. All the jobless managers linked so far are out of work for a reason, and it just smacks of there not being any money left for either a decent manager or new players.Where has this bit about not wanting to poach other managers come from? I know the General talked about it from his OWN perspective as a fan, but has the CLUB said anything about this? Who would you like to see from another club? Moyes is out as are some of the other currently employed favorites being bandied about. They have been asked and have no interest in leaving their clubs in a similar situation to how we have been left by MON. So who else? Someone like Holloway? That might be the type who might consider leaving their clubs to come to Villa. Is that the caliber you have in mind? Not having a go; just asking the question...If we have tried for the likes of Moyes/Jol/Hughes and cannot attract them due to them having morals about not leaving their current roles so soon into the new season then so be it. We will just have to put it down to bad timing which is of course why MON probably chose when he did to leave as he knew it would have maximum effect.How much longer do you think it will be before we hear an announcement on who the new Manager will be if you don;t mind me asking?

Some say......Well he is out of workBut he'll have had no chance to do any scouting or indeed get his coaching badges, as being close to Jeremy Clarksons ego for that kind of prolonged period, will have burned out his eyes and three quarters of his brain (hence the helmet).
