Who Should be Aston Villa Manager ? Now with new, revised poll

[PaulWinch again]

To be honest the way people have been ruled in and out on this saga, I won't believe who the manager is until they've signed on the dotted line.

martinez for me would be a huge letdown after some of the names we have been linked with.

Martinez for me would represent a massive kick in the nuts given that he's about the only one I havent backed...

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

If it is Martinez then my summing up of Randy Lerner would be this....great owner, shit at appointing managers. How the hell can Martinez be above Hughes, Benitez, or Jol?

[caster troy]

Martinez would just signal that we're happy with mid table mediocrity. I'd rather we'd just kept Houllier to be honest.

[andyh]

if it were to be Martinez, then I would really believe that we are now going to start operate on the cheap.
We would be a massive step up for him, and he would be so grateful he wouldn't want big money to work with.

[achilles]

Could be worse, at least he trys to play football how it should be played!

[john e]

suits me, but then i wanted him last time,

[pauliewalnuts]

Sorry. If Randy thinks Martinez is the answer then he hasn't got a clue.

[Arsey]

better than Curbs but very much meh

[olaftab]

Disgraceful that Whelan has given permission.
Randy please NO.

[goldenjimi]

I think he would be exciting, very risky but exciting.  Plays good football and is young & ambitious, could build something long term with us

[lovejoy]

Don't like Martinez? Don't worry give it an hour and he will be pushed to the bottom of the list again.

I think the same about Martinez as I do about Poyet. They may play nice football but a club like us needs a manager who's either lifted major silverware or is consistently able to challenge in the top third of a proven league. Let somebody else take the risk - if they turn out to be world class bosses then good luck to whichever club takes the gamble. But not us, ta.

As you said earlier it would appear a little strange to spend so much money moving out GH simply to bring in Martinez.

I'm not seeing this at all, far too much of a risk at this point.

Could be a contingency in case meltdown man doesnt work out
