The serious contemplation of a comeback for Warnock is honestly the most depressing thing I've read on here tonight.
Any better idea?

Sign a good midfielder to play in midfield instead of him and play Stevens at left back instead of the lamentable Bennett. Stevens hasn't looked that bad. Certainly not as bad as Bennett has and Warnock did last season.

I think the fact we are openly contemplating it highlights just how lacking in quality we are. Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that.

Just get someone in, christ. Do something to pick the fans up. You're just going to let us drown in this misery? Give out shirts, have a lottery, give out some pies, sign a player for the love of god. If we can't get a win at least try to create a positive.

Come on Villa, you're slipping.

9 days in and we haven't even been strongly linked with anyone despite us having one of the worst teams in living memory. This is Randy Lerner's Aston Villa. An absolute clusterfuck of a mess.

Are there any decent players in the Championship that can come in and help sort this mess out defensively?

That's all we need. More lower league players!

If they have a bit of experience and know how to defend properly, I could not give a feck if they came for the angolan 6th division. Probably better than our current shower.

Splash the cash and get someone like Christopher Samba from Russia and Lescott from Man City. There are others! Show some ambition, show us that we actually want to stay in the PL, because anymore signings from the lower leagues and all hope will be lost.

Samba would be a good signing, but as Dave pointed out he is on mega money in Russia.

Lescott has made it clear he is not going anywhere. Hangelaand might be an option for a good fee. In fac, Hangelaand and Riise together would be nice.

Yes I'd take that. Experience is what we need.  Not naive kids who are not, and never will be good enough for the PL.

And rightly so. Another cheap lower league nobody dressed up as another "young and hungry" prospect.
