When will the bullet come?

this has probably been discussed but for the purposes of continuity couldnt we have saved some £ and put Houller upstairs and got in a young coach to work with him like Zola just a thought

Was saying that exact same thing to someone at work today. GH could have been made director of football and a younger coach could have taken over the day to day running of the team with GH's experience to call on when needed. GH could have also handled transfers dealings (apparently we where leading the race to Cabaye when GH was here).

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and it probley would not have worked but I wished we would have give it ago, anything would have been better than what we have been served up this season.

Just get this season out of the way first, it's been bloody awful - sack the fuckwit as soon as the final whistle sounds vs Norwich.

I remember thinking what a poor choice Martinez was and was glad when he turned us down, although in fairness i had no idea who they had lined up next.

[Mazrim]

Sack him now and put Kev Mac and Sid in charge.
They know the players better than McLeish as most of them are academy graduates now.

burying my head in the earth with my big pink nose most of the time this season  i am afraid

I think the worst thing about this season has been the sinking realisation that we are exactly the kind of side the rest of the league is glad to see get relegated.

That's exactly what he turned Bliues into, as well.

That might be ok for a piss pot club like Small Heath, but it's nowhere near acceptable for Aston Villa.

If I didn't support us, I would want us to go down.

The day Houllier left, I was convinced 'right, here we go. They are back to their best now. Wait until we see the ambition Lerner will show with the next appointment. We will get rid of lots of deadwood and bring in hungry young players.'

I even posted on my facebook: 'Randy, go get Ancelotti'.

I felt so stupid the day McLeish signed. It was just an unambitious and idiotic appointment. The worst thing is, anybody could see that it would be a disaster.

Looking back now, with the benefit of hindsight, the fact we even thought they might be thinking of someone like Ancelotti is incredible.

I still can't even begin to work out what made them think, "hey, that guy over the other side of the city, the one who just got his side relegated again, playing football so poor it makes you weep, maybe we could persuade him to come"?

also nobody in the media is really that  interested in us in we just make up the numbers and I imagine other fans sigh when they see us as one of the tv games so dull that we are

"And whatever Birmingham are asking in compensation will be money well spent.  This guy is the new David Moyes!"

Does anyone believe Randy considered 'some two dozen managers'?

We only just make up the numbers when we allow ourselves to be fodder like that, and appointing this joker guarantees that's what we'll be seen as.

I can remember us debating who would be best for us, Ancelotti or Benitez and being mortified at the thought of Mark Hughes.
