Wish we could shoehorn Hoddle in to coach the "passing game" then fuck Lambert off and appoint him head coach
Well, it's not quite working out that way for QPR. Glenn's not made much of a difference. They're still shite to watch. Still, they score more than we do.
Apparently he's also one of the favourites to take over at Newcastle.

Not inspiring but then not likely with Villa in its' current predicament.

I'd like to see a proper coach - Steve Clarke if he could be persuaded.

He's Reading manager now

Mike Phelan would be great but he's stepped up as caretaker at Naarwich (caretaker manager, not caretaker like the bloke from Tony Hart).

Respect for Gary Mac. Don't forget he scored a vital goal in Leicester's win against Middlesboro in the last match of the 87-88 promotion season. That ensured Villa went up and Boro' didn't. I don't mind him coming in as a No. 2.

Not many players were better set piece takers than him.

He'd be worth hiring if he could pass even some of that on.

Sorry Dave, that's a bus, probably Moanrinho's. :-)

This is a coach.

(Probably knows more about setting up a football team than Karsa & Culverhouse.)

See, I was thinking that that would be what we would be parking next time we play Chavski.

Would not be averse to him coming back at all. Did well as caretaker and was part of the style Houllier was better at implementing than Lambert.

I think if we had handelled Houllier's enforced departure better the following years might have been so much easier. For instance, not rushing to get rid of McAllister and therefore when Martinez turned us down, giving McAllister a chance rather than panicking and appointing McLeish. We were playing good football under McAllister and the results were very good.

We should have promoted Glenn Roeder. I said so at the time and I stand by it.
