Ancelotti should come to the Villa.!

Fuck sake people, get a grip.

Yes, what the fuck do you think you're playing at having different opinions.

We talking real football or Fantasy Football ?.

Why should a world class manager come to Aston Villa who are a mediocre club, bar the occasional good season or two ??

I see most of the bookies have Hughes as odds on favourite, although that is probably putting two and two together regarding his get-out clause. The only others they all seem to agree on are Benitez (available and says he wants to stay in England), McLaren (available for panto if you ask me), and Moyes (not sure why, he seems to be making it clear he's staying at Everton). Bob Bradley seems to have faded out of the picture completely these days.

Well I have said many times my wish

Ancellotti and Wilkins
Moyes
Jol
Benitez (or similar european manager like Rikyeard etc.)
Hughes , Coyle or Martinez
Any others (and with this I mean the McLarens , Curbishleys of this world
 
1/2/3 - ecstatic
4 - happy
5 - underwhelmed but I'll give a chance as I can see the logic and it may work
6 - I'll be bloody furious and it would certainly be no ST for me !

Because he hasn't got a job and he wants to stay in England?

I mentioned Didier Deschamps yesterday. He's done well wherever he's been so far, but like Ancelotti, he'd be off if he was a success, it would'nt be long term. Shame really, he's going to be a hell of a manager.

Why are some of our fans so quick to talk down our club?
We are just below the top tier of probably the best league in the World, we are a World famous club and there are plenty of managers with egos big enough that they would love to be the one to restore glory to Aston Villa.
Think big!

There were rumours that Blanc wanted out from France after the race quotas debacle.  He strikes me as an excellent coach and would know all the right people.

I don't think there is any manger that would not leave if they were successful.

We could have a dream combo of a director of football who has worked in different countries, an experienced premier league manager and a coach who has coached at the highest level ie world cup. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Steve Mclaren, Alan Curbishley and Bob Bradley!
