So who do you want as the next Villa manager?

I agree with all of that, but the thing that really irritates me about baseball caps, irrespective of nationality or gender, is when they are worn back to front. I've simply never understood that.

If you wear them back to front you don't get the back of ya neck burnt do you Simples

I reckon it started because players will have done it when they were first introduced.  Think about it, if you're a catcher in the deep with the ball coming down towards you why would you want a peak of a cap obscuring your view.  I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure if you found old photos of early baseball games it will have been common.  After that the trend becomes established because people want to look the same as the players.  The more modern interpretation of it and the associations with 80s rappers is just an extension of that.

[mr underhill]

thanks for that. I now know why but it still looks naff.

[paul_e]

I agree completely.

Baseball cap possession should be made illegal.

Baseball cap possession should be made illegal.

This must be the first ever time that Pulis has been associated with 'possession'.

[Toronto Villa]

it's fine for golf. What I hate is wankers who wear white trainers with jeans, white socks at any time other than playing a sport and ball caps with a suit and tie.

Ronald Koeman would be of interest if lambert is going.

[ACVilla]

I've recently purchased a baseball cap, £5 from Next, i'ts for days when my hair is too long and I hate having my hair cut so i will wear it often. I think I look ok in it but I suppose our Tony does as well.

Anyway, Pulis as Villa manager, no thanks.

I had a drink with a mate from Brittany today. He reckons that people of his generation (b. 1977) who regularly wear/wore baseball caps are mostly bald.

On occasion, I do wear my AVFC Lions cap when working out in the hot sun (garden etc.).

I'm 48 and have all my hair. Just saying.

I don't think we'd be getting a superstar name just because we're getting new owners, however exciting and apprehensive it is right about now. Whoever comes in will want in the first instance to get some to stability into the playing side of things. That type of manager isn't the ones people have been mentioning. We're going to have to look closer to home. There are not many options open to us really and nobody is a stand out go and get manager that's within our reach. That's why, and I'll be shot down in flames here, I'd go for a Pulis. He's known for making hus defence very hard to play against and his teams are tight and organised. With the attacking options open to him, better than he's had anywhere I think he'd play a system based on the players and that we'd see a good attacking unit with a cohesive attacking front. at worst if it didn't come off we'd still be tight at the back and wouldn't be shipping 3, 4, or 5 goals all too regularly. For that reason, and given that he'd strengthen the back I'd get him in. And as has been said, he's never been relegated. Right now we need one of them.

It brings us back to the baseball cap problem though.

[Dante Lavelli]

Paul Clement with Southgate above him. Little/GT providing yoda style advice to them both.

Cut his head off.
