Yes, Mr President

[oldtimernow]

Brian Little
David Platt

Southgate would have been good if he hadn't taken the U21 role

With your second suggestion I think you are not taking this seriously enough or you tongue is firmly planted in a cheek (and I am not sure which one!)

[oldtimernow]

Prince George of Cambridge

Obviously in for the long haul because his first job's going to take some time coming

[Jarpie]

What about Dion Dublin or Collymore? Both are well known and both (especially Collymore) likes the club, although SVC might come with too much baggage.

[oldtimernow]

How bout Nige K ?

[Concrete John]

Dion Dublin is a good shout.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Brian Little or David Unsworth.

Genesis fans often refer to Tony Banks as the "keeper of the flame" as far as the heart and soul of the band is concerned, the member closest to the ideal of the music Genesis.

A Villa President should be in this mould, not working for any other club or media organisation associated with Football, a good public speaker, balanced and intelligent. Unfortunatley that rules out most of the suggestions in this thread.

Merv fits the bill as does SGT and as far as former players are concerned, Brian Little stands out but I'd plump for Merv.

John Gregory.

After listening to Peter Withe on WM lately, he comes across as articulate and knowledgable. Villa through and through and scoring the winning goal in a European Cup final will always command respect.

[Damo70]

Before I vote Merv, can I clarify we are talking King and not Day.

[supertom]

Dave Woodhall.

(Fiver in the post I hope).

If Daves wage demands are too high then perhaps Laursen. I wouldn't be adverse to Sir Brian either. Dublins a good shout too.

Vote for Brian Little

[Virgil Caine]

Julie Bayley - plenty of contacts, active in Social media, good friend of Paul Lambert, well known in Europe- the job has got her name all over it.

[Des Little]

Brian Little, all day long.

Had he still been alive I'd have said Acker.

[PeterWithesShin]

If he was healthy Petrov would be my top choice. Seems respected by everyone in the game.
