Agree about Benitez but what have you got against Martinez? Of all the names mentioned he is the one I would like at VP.
He's on the up, not been around the block 100 times, shown a knowledge of good cheaper foreign players.
He's a risk I agree and us as Villa fans need to accept a season of transition (I know we've just had one but thats not his fault) where we might only finish 8-12. MON only got 11th in his first season remember. But with the risk comes the potential that he could transform the club (look at Swansea now - he is a big part of their success). We know what we'll get with Benitez, Hughes etc. and frankly it don't seem that exciting. Martinez is a bit of a punt but might just come off in a Brian Little/John Gregory kind of way (hopefully not a Jozef Venglos way).
If for one would rather the risk than the same old names.
