Culverhouse and Karsa suspended (Now both sacked: Reply #876)

[TheEgo]

If lambert os sticking around (which I strongly doubt) he could do worse than get mike Phelan and Steve Clarke on board. Both grata coaches/assistant managers

I would love either in as a coach, however I doubt he will as it would be the equivalent of hiring your replacement, especially with Clarke.

Yeah I agree, was just romanticising about what could be a good thing in a bad situation

Clarke would not go back to being a number 2 I don't think. I said to my dad the other week we should go and get Mike Phelan as number 2. I thought about Rene Muelensteen but it would be the same as Clarke. I also thought maybe Saunders, who has been a number 2 before and might be tempted if it was Villa coming calling.

I agree. I asked platt on twitter today and he said, not interested. Wanker. Never understood his dislike of the villa given the opportunity he had with us. It made him

[TheEgo]

Anyway I expect lambert will be off (quite how he's still here if stuff was going on under his watch, is another matter)

But IF were not sold before the season need some quality coaches. I'd be happy with Phelan, Gary and Phil Neville, oh and Brian little :-)

[mr underhill]

but who is going to come knowing it could - and I stress could - be a two month gig? And why does Platt hate Villa so much?

Platt is, was and always will be an arrogant tosser. The fact that he used to wear a villa shirt doesn't change that. We were just a stepping stone in his career.

[Dante Lavelli]

Steve Mclaren took a role under Redknapp at QPR so it's not impossible that some of these new managers / previously coaches chaps might consider temporary roles.

The ones which are looking to learn and enjoy their job (i.e the ones you'd want to employ) probably see it as another chance to learn from a new situation. Furthermore there'd probably be a pay off it we were taken over too.

My suggestions would be steve Clarke, mclaren (highly unlikely but strange things might happen now they didn't get promoted) and my first choice, Paul Clement from Real Madrid (ex PE teacher).

On top of that he is a burger faced twat and I would not want him near our club

[Ron Manager]

Saunders was completely out of his depth at Wolves. Kenny Jackett has shown that. I wouldn't mind Gary Neville as manager with Steve Clarke as assistant. But who knows what is going to happen? Nobody on a forum, for sure, and nobody at the club I suspect.

I was in the Villa shop when he skipped over the counter and grinning put his had near a female assistant's nether regions as he stood behind her. I believe he was engaged at the time. He laughed. I didn't.

[Steve67]

I would like someone in who recognises the lack of physical attributes within the team and does something about it! For instance, we have one of the best forwards in the business so get the ball in the box by playing wingers and not this stupid fecking diamond formation. Someone who tells Lambert that it doesn't work with the players we have.

Platt would not be the choice for me. Villa is perceived as a poison chalice under the present set-up. Unless a big spender comes in we will continue to be so and therefore unable to attract serious talent both managerially and on the pitch.
I await  news, and forward looking proposals, that will give us hope after so many years of well... nothing.  Being the anniversary of our last big Cup, tomorrow would be a good time to issue a statement.

[Nastylee]

Not being interested doesn't necessarily make him a wanker. Perhaps he has ambitions of being a manger himself or just doesn't fancy working as an assistant for Lambert. Let's be honest, it's very strange for a manager to employ a complete stranger as his number 2.

No, but the fact he never has a good word for the club that arguably catapulted him into the big time does.

[The Left Side]

I reckon the only way Platt would come back to Villa is if we were to be taken over by an owner with money to burn, then he would remember that he loves us.

[Toronto Villa]

One of my favourite all time Villa players. His application and work ethic is to be admired in how he has managed, since leaving, to distance himself from the club that plucked him from obscurity and helped make him famous. He can go fuck himself now.

[claret and blue blood]

Great player failed manager hates us for some reason not really worth mentioning as a coach for us - next.
