Kevin MacDonald the next Manager???

[Dave Clark Five]

Keep Kevin in charge. If it doesn't work out, for whatever reason, I hope he can go back to his reserves job but so far things are looking very good and I am not surprised either.

[Irreverent ad]

I must admit, I am not to sure he wants the job. The interviews from tonight BBC & Sky gave me the impression he really enjoys coaching the reserves and youth and he does not want to risk that.

I like him he is very modest and unassuming, although I am not sure if thaose are great attributed for a top PL manager though.

Anyway, great job Mac!

[Sister of Top Cat]

I'd say yes keep him as head coach and bring someone in to deal with the actual management side.

The interviews from tonight BBC & Sky gave me the impression he really enjoys coaching. I wouldn't restrict it to the Reserves.

I agree.

But i'm not sure he has the appetite to be manager because of handling Matchdays, Media, Transfers etc

[UK Redsox]

Why not. There's no real outstanding candidate at the moment.

See if Kev wants the job until December and then look at things again. You never know what other managers will be available in a couple of months

It was nice to see villa play with freedom and was very enjoyable to watch,on the other hand Westham where very poor but you still have to take ur chances and win was it down to mac D ? ? well he has 2 or 3 games maybe more to prove him self, a years contract ? whiles randy gets the right man or was that man in the dug out today ? 

[TheTimVilla]

He knows the players, their strengths & weaknesses. He's been with the Villa 15 years so he knows the Club from top to bottom. Irrespective of today's excellent result, the season has started and KMac has those crucial attributes that no other potential candidate posseses.

[usav]

Not sure he is the right man moving forward.  However, fair play to him and you could tell he was very proud to be manager of our great club, resplendent in his suit.

[The Situation]

Just seen this on Juan Pablo Angel's twitter...

"Kevin McDonald should be given an opportunity to be the Manager this season! He has done a tremendous job at Villa for many,many years!"

You can't argue with Juan Pablo... after today's great win you can't see why you'd want to change things after they went so smooth and perfect today. Winning today was great... but HOW we won with our performance makes it even better.

[davevillan]

Watching today was a joy, the players seemed to play with joy, and freedom.
I got the impression they were playing for him, and maybe, they may have a say in his decision?
One thing today has proved, all the doom and gloom merchants were wrong, we will still be up there challenging the top 6 again come May!

[Toronto Villa]

Coaching and managing is not the same. He's a very good coach at reserve level but has never managed. Coaching young players that are trying to make the grade and managing multi-million egos is very different. I'm not saying he couldn't do it, but you could ruin a very good coach by making him manager. He's got to really want it, and it would be a real shame when results don't go our way (because it will happen) that some fans will turn on him. Honeymoon periods never last. There aren't many first time managers that start at the top and survive. A lot of those with successful lower league careers get burnt at the top end of the game.

He's been very good for the club for 15 years, so to appoint him manager on the back of one game would be very foolish in my opinion.

[garyfouroaks]

There are no obvious choices, as such, he deserves to be considered.

[Greg N'Ash]

may be too much of a nice guy to get the job. Certainly put down a claim today though. Keep winning like that and it will be up to him...

[Dave Cooper please]

Maybe he could do it, don't know, it's just one game.
I think today's win was just a collective "Let's fucking show 'em" from all involved rather than a tactical masterstroke from the (assistant) manager.
