To do list if you were appointed as new manager

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

A lot of people seem to be keen to return Sidwell to the team.

Sidwell, REALLY? Mr Invisible.

I was one of the fast diminishing number of people who thought there was a player in there somewhere but it would not be a theory I'd hurry to try out as manager.

I'm not hugely keen on him, not even sure if there is a player in there.

But as someone pointed out yesterday (can't remember who) he often makes runs that aren't picked up by his teammates as we have a tendency to shift the ball out wide at any available opportunity.

Maybe a manager with a degree of organisation can utilise him better, but he's in (cliché alert)  Last Chance Saloon either way. At least as far as his Villa career is concerned.

I have noticed this and wondered whether they just ignore him on purpose. A bit like the crap player in the school team or kick-around. There's always one player you never pass it to because you know they'll mess it up.

How about giving it a rest, just for tonight?

Drop Stan and Ashley - put in Ireland and Sidwell
Make Dunne do a forest gump and just go running
Let our strikers and midfielders know that there career isnt going to end if they have one long shot
Stop hoofing the ball in the air, play some football!!
Drop the fucking french and get to our football club!

Drop Ashley? 

I like it.  Dropping our best player will really confuse the opposition.  A bit outside the box but it just might work.

Sorry boss, im so frustrated at the moment. I don't mind having a moan up me.

Get them to play until the Ref blows his whistle.

Target an expensive goalscorer for January.

Look out for a new Goalkeeper for next season.

Ship Heskey out ( self explanatory)

[west sussex villan]

For me Ashley Young is one of the best wingers in the country but he needs to play on the wing not in the centre.

[PaulTheVillan]

1. Find a new captain.
2. Replace Davies, Heskey, Sidwell and Beye.
3. Get Gabby and Dunne to shed a couple of pounds.
4. Get the players to be that extra few % fitter.
5. Spend more time working on who we are playing next.
6. Teach the players how to pass the ball forward instead of just sideways, trying to find a winger who is free.
7. Teach Gabby how to run across defenders into space, not just slow down and hover round the back post.
8. Work on players awareness and sharpness, we never seem to be first to a second ball.
