How would you feel if we appointed Steve McClaren?

like killing a cat

But the problem is his image, which will be dredged up to suit every angle the press want to create. It'd be like shooting fish in a barrel. Far, far too much baggage.

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.

How dare you mention them names and the great name of Aston Villa. Shame on you TV. God help us.

I think I'm going into meltdown myself Ian.

Speaking of which, I have got a football match at 7pm here. It's 42 Celsius outside right now, and expected to be around 40 at kick off. I might never find out who the new gaffer is.

The way this is going I wouldn't be surprised to see John Blackwell's name mentioned in the Sky Sports Ticker Bar.
Enjoy the game tonight TV and the heat and you just never know, something may happen....or not?

Sick, suicidal and drop a bottle of scotch to soothe the pain.

Okay, given the way things are now going, can we re-title this "How would you feel if we appointed Steve McClaren or someone *worse* ?" and re-run the poll ?

Looks like he is now in talks with Vitesse Arnhem in Netherlands about taking over there.

Thanks God for that.

His agent was on SSN about half an hour ago saying he had 3 offers, two in northern Europe and one in the South of the continent,  but he would prefer a gig in back in the Prem.

I will never forget the 4-0 hammering we gave them and the season ticket thrower.Comedy Gold!

I always remember Kevin Phillips pissing himself laughing at Cattermole who had been reduced to tears.

Forgetting the Villa stuff now, as it is 100% clear he isnt coming here, McLaren has to accept he will never manage in top flight England again. Look at Taylor, he never ever got over it, he went to Wolves and it was a none starter from the start.

The saving grace for SGT was that there were two clubs that thought (think) he was a hero - and the only two jobs he got after this was back at those clubs.

McLaren hasnt got a club that hold him in that regard - he is finished in England, and the sooner he realises it, the better it will be for him.

I bet he ends up in Thailand - taking Robsons job.
