When the new manager arrives? January when he can buy his own players? This time next year so he'll have had a full pre-season?This entire season will be impacted purely by the fact he fucked off when he did.Long term his squad will also impact on how the team progress too. I can't see how if the likes of DOL and JG's buys were still impacting on Villa and used even now to show how MOn had to clear out so many that the same won't be said about Mon.After all he did leave behind some highly over paid, very peripheral players. My hope is that the new guy has more nous and can do something useful with them. more useful than paying a huge wage to sit in the stands or occasionally sit on the bench. At least the likes of Davis, McCann, Hughes, Sorensen even Baros, Angel served a purpose even if it was limited, Heskey, Sidwell and others, well His use of them is one argument, but the players you mentioned would have been starters in the DOL side he inherited. There's a big difference in what you have to work with from a squad that finished 16th from a squad that finished 6th.

Well Lerner is in the stands tonight, so clearly doing something Villa related. Off Topic but Lerner can't afford to lose to much more weight, he is starting to luck like Tom Hanks in Philidephia.

I have a suspicion that a new manager will be announced before the Everton match.
If we defend like that on Sun, it's going to be another horror show.
