If the wally with the brolly is appointed i will feel my club have no ambition at all.

I think this has all snowballed since Sir Graham Taylor gave an interview to Sky earlier this week where he was simply sticking up for a fellow manager who had been chewed up and spat out by the England management system.  I think there is a less than zero chance of Villa appointing McClaren.

Not so sure the chances are less than zero at this stage.  I would say not very high but he is still a possibility especially if other targets are getting jittery due to players leaving us

If players are leaving us it means more money for the new manager to spend and a wider scope to bring in his own players.

...with them quoting 'unrest from the fans' were we to do so.

MM mentioned Bent style meltdown. Initially, I took it to mean something positive. Then being a miserable Brummie got the better of me and now that McClaren's seemingly being rules, I'm thinking it's one of Bryan Robson, Peter Reid, Joe Royle or Gary Megson.

All of whom are preferable to Mclaren!

I wonder whether The Sun and all that drama about Brollies has much to do with how we view McClaren over here - he has a decent reputation on the continent.

What I'm saying is he is a proven manager, whereas I would say Martinez had not reached the same levels. And being a proven manager is clearly important to The Board, as well as those on here (Laursen is unproven, etc.)
