soory about last night lads

this thing is getting to me...i think we have made a big mistake( iknow MON walked out on us, but you have to ask why he did?)


KMCD seems a good bloke, but nowhere near good enough

Bradley, Sven now today i see on here Quieroz(sp) and Koeman


not good enough

no matter who we get will be like after the lord mayors show - and will be seen by an awful lot as a yes man


still stand by 1 thing i said last night

Randy will appoint a new manager on Tuesday at the earliest

[Chico Hamilton III]

The E & S reckon Dave Jones is one of the names being considered. Not exactly one to set the pulses racing.

I'd rather have Mickey Dolenz

I reckon Randy would quite like to have the Scouse Git.

Haha, very good, you little Monkey you!

Why couldn't I have thought of that line?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Who, realistically, is going to be on the short list next week then? And how many?

If we're going down that line, I'd prefer we look abroard. What's Josef Fritzl doing now days?

Why not?
He's suffered some shite times thanks to shite owners, and done a decent job without much of a song and dance.
As I've said before I like the guy, but not sure he's my choice for the job, but like others easily dismissed by many, he's not as bad a choice as KM who i believe you wanted in the job.

Following on from Montague's post above.  Koeman has been unlucky to have to follow in the footsteps of two or three of the greater managers in the game with the clubs he's taken over.  Hiddink, Trapattoni are tough men to follow in to any job.  I guess a little like MON, right now at Villa.  That's what makes this decision and even tougher one.  Koeman is pretty much as big a name as has been mentioned for the Villa job, a serious contender, unlike Maradoughnut IMO, and might just be about ready for a crack in the English game.  It might take him a season to assess the standard and the club but could be quite good in the longer term. He certainly has a good view of European football and appears really keen to get the job. He has a bit of passion for it, rather than wanting another pay day, a la Sven.

If nothing he will bring experience and a completely different attitude and approach to that spend on nothing, pay high wages turncoat.

As plenty have said whoever is chosen some won't be happy especially those who only want Mon in charge.

I would still go for Simon Grayson.  Young MO'N in my opinion...learned his trade in lower leagues and has added advantage of being at a big club already.

Why do you believe that?

He doesn't have a reputation for running off does he ?

Funny when the situation arose he was the first name I thought of. He does lack PL experience though but is just a Villa man

The problem with promoting managers with no PL experience is that you might get Turner rather than Taylor.

The 3 best pound for pound managers in the PL came from Aberdeen, Grampus 8 and Preston.

I saw similar elsewhere, and it said something about "small clubs...done nothing" That would be the Aberdeen who'd come from nowhere to become one of the best teams in Europe. We've been saying Villa should gamble on various subjects for a long time. Maybe this is the time for gambling on the next Moyes.
