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

[Brian Taylor]

The dice are cast. It is one of three and could be end up with Snake eyes.

Progress, or back to the 70's? Local swops and low price transfers of players whose kids go to school in the area, happy to get £40k a week.. not back for local lads.

I'm fucking sick of this saga.  The media have portrayed us as a Geordie Nation circus over the past fortnight.

If it is true that Randy overlooked Hughes after he walked out on Fulham, then why would he view the McLeish resignation any differently?

[Clark W Griswold]

the difference with big ron though is he always had an ambition to manage villa and started here as a kid, moyes has no such ties to villa.

Agree completely.

The crux of the comparison however was the denial and then the total turnaround, not the two guys histories. You could argue that you don't think he'll come because he has no ties, but i would not read too much into the denial as history has shown that can mean nothing.

I think at this stage he's as likely as most of the others linked, for varied reasons.

Eh? Johann Cruyff and Pele would have been happy with £40k a week in the seventies.

If mcleish signs I ent getting a season ticket. Villa til I die my arse. Keep calm, carry on and give the bloke a chance. His record isn't the worst. Looked like breaking the old firm stranglehold with hibs, won trophies with rangers when they looked done for, got scotland promising again, won a trophey with blose for the 1st time in their miserable existance, highest finish in 50 off years. He wouldn't be the worst choice

Sums what up?

I am sorry if this has already been covered.

I have just listened to Pat Murphy on R5L.   I have become resigned to his constant anti Villa posture but tonight he was like a kid in a sweet shop.   He cut short the stooge who preceded him with a set up that it had been a big news day for midlands football by launching into a long ramble of Villa criticism the only factual part of which was his trawlings from sites such as this.   The rest was just the same stuff being peddled by the rest of the media concluding that Hughes knocked us back as did Ancelotti, as did Benitez, as did Martinez, McLaren did not pass the fans' approval test so Villa will sign their fifth choice.

Pat Murphy has had a rod in pickle for Randy Lerner for years because the billionaire american will not give him cosy exclusive chats which Murphy could use to puff up his already puffed up opinion of himself.

Sorry, but is this the same Pat Murphy who came on the radio over the past 2 weeks and consistently stated that Villa had no interest in Hughes following him walking out on Fulham.

The bloke is so inconsistent it's unreal! He's even contridicting his own Sources and scoops in one interview.

Watch Rijkaards odds drop like KB's tits over the next 24 hours.

Why ? Guess or itk

It's all guess work.

[Brian Taylor]

True..I'd be happy with either if they were happy with £40k these days..rest of Villa team were on £40 pw back then

6+6+6=18?

I really hope that when all this is sorted the club put all these wankers straight and politely show them up for the clowns they undoubtedly are.

I still stand by 'No-one knows anything' with regards to supposed 'ITK'. Who does know? I'd say Paul Faulkner and Randy Lerner. That's about it, really. Possibly the General aswell.

who is kb? karren brady ? if so i know where i would like them to drop!

[Damo70]

If anyone other than McLeish is unveiled as the next Villa manager in the next few days they may well experience an unprecedented amount of goodwill. In the circumstances right now Simon Grayson would probably get a better reception than the second coming of King Kenny to Anfield.

Mind you, wouldn't be surprised if McLeish ends up at Everton....

Why would Everton want him???
