Are there any managers who are always brilliant in the first half of a season? I was thinking we could appoint one, then sack him at Christmas. Replace with Moyes/Martinez and we'd win the league!

Wigan don't play good football. They attempt to pass it about and get cut to ribbons; they're the new Coventry City, constantly dicing with relegation. Martinez could only get them playing for the last month of the season. As crazy as I am, I expect more from a Villa side.

If you look at the league table for the second half of the season, Wigan would be 7th, Villa 19th.


i'm lovin seeing you argue the case for Martinez even if its only in a luke warm way after our 'debates' over him last season.

its amazing how much can change by having an absolute rubbish manager for a season.

He wouldn't be my first choice, but I think he's done a good job this season.

Lambert for my vote but anyone is better than the previous manager.

Of course I shall now be praying to my Louis Van Gaal shrine in the vein belief that he'll see us a challenge where he could build a lasting legacy.
I foolishly had some money on him last year and look what we ended up with! This would be my dream appointment but I'd be suprised uf they got someone from abroad. There's only a very select few who I would have a problem with if they were to get the job. McLeish / Lerner have certainly done a good job lowering my expectations.

Expectations suitably lowered over the last 12 months but I hope we don't go for a risky decision.  Hoddle, Hughton, Clarke, Holloway, Curbishley are a definite no for me.  Lambert, Rafa, AVB would be a yes.

Just an ambitious and thoughtful appointment would be good, with a semblance of a plan of where we are going.

They just said on R5 that Lambert is now 11/10 favourite with Martinez slipping!

Certainly seems more smoke there. I would be happy with him and he would galvanise the support.
