Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Dave]

On balance, not fucking Kevin MacDonald.

Tonight is meaningless

So why did:

Wow, that is one shit line up.

That matter then?

Could do with the lads rolling their sleeves up and putting in a shift tonight. As pointed out earlier, a cup run is never bad for morale and could help us out of this hole we are in

So was tonight meaningless or could it help us out of this hole?

[Clampy]

Managed to watch the second half. Amavi should have done better in the lead up to their first goal, he seemed to bottle out of the challenge and after that you knew a second goal was coming. If he'd have been a bit braver with his starting line up, then who knows.

[wince]

so. just to sum up.  We are bottom of the league, no Manager, a squad containing 13 new players which all take time to gel, we have no Manager and we are yet again trying to appoint someone untried and untested at this level.

*sigh*

They're not looking to give the job to Chris Evans or Claudia Winkleman or George from Rainbow.

They're looking to hire an actual football manager, who is tried and tested in the field of 'being a football manager' so that's already a plus on where they went last time.

George would never take the job without assurances that he would also get a quality right hand man.

George has a right hand man in zippy and Bungle already running the club. If that goes tits up then Rod Jane and Freddy will take over assisted by sooty and sweep or maybe the withered corpse of Rod Hull and emu. Anyway you look at us we are a fucking laughing stock at the moment!

In our overall predicament and the grand scheme of things tonight wasn't important massively . We need to stabilise matters ASAP and concentrate efforts on the league. It's not difficult to see that.
The team selection is quite reflective of the squad quality, which is now sub-prime.
The squad quality has been eroded and eroded for years, net spend has been woeful. We are now at end of days period. Hold onto your seats.

Yes, Remi is so tried and so tested eh? 3 years in a lesser league. For once Dave, I hope Villa are right with this potential appointment. Doubt it though.

[Nastylee]

It's looking all the more ludicrous that we decided to wait until after the international break to start our managerial search.

I don't get this either. From the silence of the past few weeks, it was was obvious the sacking was on the cards so it would've made more sense to get a manager in and ready for a morale boosting Swansea game where new manager lift and big crowd could have made a difference. Now from what I hear Tom Fox is not looking to make an appointment until the Everton game thus throwing away another two matches.

[Chris Jameson]

On balance, not fucking Kevin MacDonald.

Tonight is meaningless

Then why bring up the fact we kept a clean sheet in the firs....just realised who posted this. Gives up.

[FrankyH]

Kevin MacDonald in charge for the next three games.

[mr underhill]

and Silhillvilla will you please stop using the expression sub prime. It really is getting on my tits.

[passport1]

Amused to see that 116 people think Garde is the ideal choice. I wonder how many had even heard of him before the weekend.

I'm off to find some Eskimos to sell ice cream to.

Yeah, there's no point bothering with anybody who hasn't managed in the Premier League before.

It's not like in 22 of the 23 years the league winning manager did it with the first club that they'd ever managed in the Premier League. Those clubs should probably have just hired Steve Bruce or Nigel Pearson to be on the safe side.

[VillaAlways]

Kevin MacDonald in charge for the next three games.

I can't see us scoring, let alone getting anything from those fixtures. The team look absolutely devoid of any belief

[RussellC]

Kevin MacDonald in charge for the next three games.

I fucking hope not!!

People had heard of Remi Garde. Not many thought we'd be "adventurous" enough to go outside of the box for someone like him. That's why initial poll only accounted for the obvious and previously mentioned targets. I think it's great the club are after someone like him.

[Smirker]

Kevin MacDonald in charge for the next three games.
