Out of the frying pan ? Fat waiter to replace Le Gaffeur !

[Clark W Griswold]

Better than what we have, but not sure he would be a success for us somehow. Would be worth a punt though if we were unable to get Moyes or Coyle. As good as anyone else apart from the ones we have zero chance of getting.

[JJ-AV]

You can't argue with his record. But I'd rather us get someone who sees Villa as a chance to better themselves and get their name amongst those who are at the top table, as opposed to someone who is looking for a decent job until a top table place becomes available.

I definitely wouldn't rule him out though, and if Houllier goes and Rafa is up for it then he's certainly worth an interview.

Hate the thought we've been linked with FSW..., just when you think things can't get any worse....

I'd prefer someone who wants to get Villa sitting at the top table.  We'll never be satisfied until we get a manager who wants (and manages) to achieve major success with us. 

[Big Dick Edwards]

That headline story is totally devoid of any information to back up it's claim.

Well obviously, but those two things would probably come hand in hand.

I'm sure there's nothing in this story, but in theory I'd be more than happy to have Benitez as our manager.

Without question he would be a significant  step up from the current custodian.

the funny thing about this link is, hes probably out of our league, he's use to competing and winning trophies at the very top level of world football

our biggest achievments in recent years is managing to qualify for the wafer cup and then go out in the early stages

but yeah, we don't want Benitez, hes rubbish!

[The Situation]

Hmmmm.

Right now I just want us to survive relegation and we see what happens in the summer regarding managers.

[Bad English]

I am expecting us to be linked with Comical Ali any day now.

[The Man With A Stick]

Well if it's in The Cahrrahnt Bahn it must be true.

We're more likely to appoint Sgt Wilko as caretaker until the end of the season.

[TheSandman]

Would not be my first choice but don't doubt he might actually do a good job.

If we stay up I expect that Le Gaffeur will remain our manager and that Rafa won't want to manage in the Championship.

[brontebilly]

Had a really poor last season at Liverpool. They were excellent the season before that but the decline was huge after the sale of Alonso with which he can only blame himself. Should have seen that Carragher was on his last legs too.

To be honest I dont think we are big enough for him. We dont want another manager fawning over Liverpool.

[Greg N'Ash]

not going to happen is it? and with a section of our support demanding the manager has unbridled love for our club, replacing a manager who fondly remembers his time with his ex, with another who's still getting drunk and throwing stones up at her window while she entertains new boyfriend Ken is not a good idea

[nadz3488]

No.
