Time to change a crap manager for a Klopp one. This cannot go on.

You're nuts if you think Klopp's rolling in any time soon, but I'd sell my would for Allardyce right now. He's proven stability even if I'll hate it in 2 years time.

He doesn't appear to have any idea what to do with the players he bought, we have no identity, no tactics, when you see a Villa team you can't say '' I expect x,y and z from them'.

 We are lost on the pitch, don't press, don't counter attack, no movement, no shape. With the run of fixtures coming up, you can easily see of us having 4 points by mid Nov, he might as well go now as by mid Nov we could well and truly be fooked.

I've reset the poll.

For the record, this is how it looked when reset.

If it means bringing Allardyce in I'd rather keep him a bit longer, I cannot stand watching Allardyce's brand of football. We've got a decent squad with a fair amount of young foreign players, surely there is a coach outside the British Isles who could do a better job than the usual uninspiring suspects?

Lerner is a businessman. He should be able to see that gambling our share of a billion pound TV deal for the sake of a few quid to get someone decent in is not worth the risk.

Fox needs to man up and admit he has made a terrible mistake.

I would swap Sherwood for any manager in the Prem. We need to sack this clown tonight and get a replacement in over the international break.

The thing is if we can get a decent manager in now with the players we have there is plenty of time left for us to have a good season.

Let's hope Paddy O'Reilly was briefed to scout managers during the summer as well.

To be fair, Yes was miles ahead in the immediate aftermath of last week's game too. I suspect something similar (but not as much of a swing) will happen this time, too.

I've gone from undecided to Yes in a week...such tactical naivety, again. Sack him and the whole backroom team pronto.

I'm sorry but I'm finding it just a bit hard to swallow this line from a lot of people tbh about 'Allardyce's brand of football' - It's not as if we're renowned for our free flowing football over the years is it? So if it's a choice of watching crap football, and every so often taking three points I'll have that please, thank you.

I think we have the players, we just don't have the know-how in the dug out.  Hopefully Fox and Almstadt have a short-list of experienced, proven candidates who can tie all the good recruitment work of the summer together. We really need to get this spot on and - dare I say it - I would be prepared to go for Big Sam in for the short term.  Failing that, it might make sense to look to France/Spain/Germany for an experienced manager who is still young and hungry enough to get the club motoring again (someone in the mould of Flores at Watford).

The problem with Big Sam is that we don't necessarily have the players to play his style of football. He'd have to make big adjustments to play to our strengths. And you just know without any shadow of a doubt he'd play Gabby for every single minute he can.
