How would you feel if we appointed Steve McClaren?

[Dave]

Would you be happy with McClaren?

Thinking that McClaren would be a disappointing choice of manager for us and that Facebook hate groups are an extremely childish thing aren't mutually exclusive ideas.

I would be disappointed. But at the end of the day we support Aston Villa, and if anything, I'll be rooting for him to prove every one of us wrong.

I maintain that would be my stance. Still don't want him, though.

This really but I could be worse if we actually appointed him!

[Legion]

I would also have preferred Ancelotti. Next best for me would be Benitez. Hughes gets a big 'Meh!' and McClaren (for me) is a big no-no. It's just a personal opinion, Dave. The FB group merely reflects that. It has no influence in the greater scheme of things, but it sure makes me feel better!

[Michel Sibble]

Can't we just get the players to figure out the tactics themselves?

It's a 'hate group'? Seriously?

Legion, you are in fact the devil himself.
Shame on you

I will support my Club of course. Every game. But don't think I will be excited, looking to the future, if we employ an easy choice. Forget Brolly. Moyes, Hughes OK I guess. But IMHO if we can afford it please give us a chance to move on.

We have a great youth set up and a super reserve team. Special youngsters but all appear to want to move on when made.

I want good youth players to want to join us for their future not just ours. Pro's that they are. I want our established players to stay and create a team of promise and winners. Not sell them.

Give us a big name Manager Randy. We are in a good position to move on. Convince them. Convince us. Convince our International players, and future stars that we are worth it.

Give us a Manager of STATUS

[Villa'Zawg]

None of us really know the conditions that our new manager will be asked to work under or the criteria that is being used to select the best candidate, only the board know that.

I thought Randy and Paul would be trusted to make the best choice of manager.

Well I would imagine they will because I don't think they'll be swayed by what is posted on here....but just in case....No to Schteeve.

So it's just people pissing in the wind and making themselves a hostage to fortune?

[hawkeye]

Thia apppointment would signal the end of the RL bright future era.
The bloke is a first class prat, he loves himself to the extent that he vainly attempts to cover his baldness. He spent loads at Boro and achieved next to fuck all, he screwed up the England job with as good a squad as we have produced for a generation. Wins a second rate feeder club league and his ego takes him to germany where he falls flat on his face again. There is absoloutely no reason why we should become the laughing stock by hireing this idiot. We will loose our best players and struggle to bring any quality in. It would be a disaster.

Hmmm. I will roar on McCLaren's villa if it comes to that. I'd just rather roar on Ancelotti's villa (and Jol's villa, and Coyle's villa, and Benitez's villa. You get the drift). I don't happen to like Stephen Ireland, does that make me a second rate villa fan?

[enigma]

He probably wouldn't be disastrous if given a proper chance by everybody but that's never going to happen. With that in mind it would be disastrous from a PR point of view. Things would start badly with no chance of it improving.

I wouldn't be averse to him being assistant manager / head coach or whatever as he's proven to be very good at that but no way should he get the top job, especially when there's better candidates out there.

[Toronto Villa]

It would be bad initially, and then if results were good the mood would improve. The problem would be should we encounter a sticky patch, that it wouldn't take much at all for all of the good will that's been generated to be crushed very quickly. He wouldn't be given a chance.
