Entering a manager search hoping for Ancelotti, Moyes or Benitez, it takes some time and sulking to digest that McLeish is the outcome.
And avoiding McClaren only to appoint Big Eck is a bit like dodging a bullet and later getting hit with a cannon ball.
I have been hoping that Villa would do an eleventh hour backtrack, but now it's done and dusted. So even if his recent dismal record doesn't inspire much hope, there's nothing much to do except to wish him luck and hope that he'll surprise us.
