The future of Houllier and McAllister?

[adrenachrome]

... i want a manager to say "there is no limit to what this club can achieve"

What's Tommy Docherty doing nowadays?

Who the fucking hell is he?

*nostalgic wink*

[Risso]

But whoever it is, here's a list of managers we shouldn't want to see at Villa Park, posted by, erm, some fool.

Bloody hell, I always wondered what happened to him and all the time there he was in front of me. I guess it's understandable as he never used to post the type of bollocks he posts now. (winky)

I was behind you. And you're quite wrong, as I've always posted bollocks on here.

Sure but before you were funny, now you're just a miserable old cnut. I'm torn between you and Risso with my vote on H&V's Drama Queen of the Season Award.

Nice of you to say so, do I get a crown if I win?

Afraid not, the only prize is for all of next next season, the Mods with change your name to 'Jimbo the Drama Queen'. Don't build your hopes up too much, the bookies have Risso down as clear favourite but there's still two games left so do your worst. You may have some serious competition on Sunday though.

Are you related to the Mark kelly who was one of Martin O'Neill's biggest critics?

In any case, I've mostly been avoiding the main forum as far from being a drama queen, I'm just not actually very arsed with all things Villa at the moment.

It's your Match thread posts that really make you stand out from the others. There's been some absolute belters on there.

As for MON, I tried desperately to keep an open mind right up until the final games of last season. Only then did I nail my colours to the mast, basically wanting him to get some help on the coaching side, as the football was so dull and I'd resigned myself to another season of him in charge. The only glimmer of hope was that he agreed that we needed to improve on the footballing side. After what he did last summer, I have no respect for him at all. None.

Yes, I do get excited on match threads, although I've been avoiding those too of late.  It's sad, but I really just can't be bothered at the moment.  I'm hoping for some exciting developments in the summer to reinvigorate my interest.  I was also thinking about investing in a season ticket to encourage myself to try to get over for some more games, and letting someone on here have use of it when I then invariably fail to make it over.

Gus Poyet?

[Mazrim]

No, he can buy his own.

[JackH]

I've been told that the young lads are working their arses off at the moment to ensure Houllier's last comments in his note book are positive ones. 'Some' of the seniors still can't be arsed even with a new manager coming in.

Let's hope they're gone sooner than later, eh?

[Mazrim]

Do you know of a new manager Jack?

[ozzjim]

Paul the Villain - Poyet would be a good gamble actually. Convinced my wife has a thing for him mainly as she shushes me and is glued to the TV when he starts speaking, then chuckles due to not understanding ha wor he hath to sthay....

[cheltenhamlion]

Mods - I don't wish to ruin the fun but should Jack not be taken undercover somewhat? Just to protect young Chris.

Blimey Ozz, Poyet looks like an extra from The Name of the Rose!

[eastie]

no offence meant here , but do people seriously think a young reserves cousin 1000s of miles away is seriously going to know who any new manager might be ?

even the top 1st team players would not know know until it happens!
my plumber who lives in the mailbox same block as reo coker and makoun was chatting to both this week and the players have no idea what is going to happen - they are all waiting as much as we are to find out.

as regards chris herd , i feel its a bit sad that things hes said in confidence are being bandied around on here and will reflect badly on him if the press start to get wind of things so id advise discretion jack.

My understanding is once the team is confirmed as mathematically safe from relegation the manager's position will be clarified.

Is this an ITK KV2, or just your feeling ?

[Greg N'Ash]

Does GH's health suddenly improve then if we're safe? :0)
