How would you feel if we appointed Steve McClaren?

[holtepaul]

Well as someone said on the managers thread - it seems the one thing everyone is unanimous on - so lets find out if that is the case.

FWIW - my vote goes to - I won't accept it.

I was all for giving up my ST going into May. The upturn in form, and the rumours of maybe better things have swayed me to probably renew at the moment. But if it is Mr McLaren - forget it, I will see it that the club has took the pee.

Very let down.

[caster troy]

I would be bitterly disappointed. I would also question the logic of getting rid of Houllier.

We've had an awful season, we look set to lose our best player for the third consecutive year, morale is low and then we go out and appoint the most unpopular and uninspiring manager possible? Surely it can't happen.

[Chris Smith]

Do you really need to start another thread?

However, I'm not the sort of drama queen that needs to make a song and dance about buying a ticket.

[Malandro]

Thick, ignorant, laughing stock and not a very good managerial record.

[CJ]

Wouldn't be at all happy but no way in the world would I not renew. I support the Villa through thick and - in the case of Wally's hairline - thin.

[holtepaul]

In answer to "do we really need another thread"

My answer is quite obviously yes.

Do you know why.

Because the notion of employing Steve McLaren was so ridiculous a week ago, he isn't even in the original "who do you want" poll !!!

And as I said, its to see how everyone would feel if this "one guy" got the job. Not who they think is best, but if this one guy gets it, no matter what / who is available.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

If news of his appointment was on Midlands Today, i'd put my foot through the TV and send the bill to Randy Lerner!

[eastie]

Deeply disappointed and devastated- with such options as Benitez and Hughes available it would send out a hugely negative message of lack of ambition.

[Olneythelonely]

Don't really see the point in this thread, at all. We can discuss him in the other threads.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

To say 'I wouldn't renew' if McLaren is appointed is a joke.

We support the club first and foremost.

I'd hope he could make us eat our words and do a good job.

[Summers]

I'm Villa til I die, not til it suits me.

I'd support him and give him a fair chance.

His managerial record isn't as bad as people keep saying, and although he'd be a completely uninspiring choice there is no way I'd turn my back on the club and him. He -could- do a good job here, but he'd need our support.

[Rigadon]

I'd question the logic of Lerner and start to have doubts about the direction we would be going under the current board, but I'd ultimately give him a chance.  It's not Mclaren's fault that we're all so underwhelmed by him.

[Diablo]

It would be interesting to hear what the Boro fans think of him. It could be the case that the press crucified him (just like they did a certain Graham Taylor) but that they still like him up there just as I still hold Graham Taylor in high regard.

That is only a thought mind. I don't like him myself

[brian green]

I would buy my season ticket and not use it.  Faithful unto death but not stupid.
