Andy

Why don't you have a go ? You obviously love the club, you're passionate , OK no managerial experience but whatever.

Apart from when he was BFR's no2.

Tony Cascarino in The Times would like to see Chris Wilder of Northampton Town offered the job.

I thought he was doing so well in that article right up until then.

Ghost writer must have just phoned him for a suggestion.

Just watched Andy Gray's interview. It's a shame that anyone would even have a doubt that we're a big club.

I love Andy Gray and he's still the greatest, the Holte end says........

But, when he endorses shit like Monk, I start to worry.

Andy Gray speaks:
http://www.beinsports.com/en/premier-league/video/who-andy-gray-wants-next-at-villa-park/228010

A 10 man managerial dream-team then?
Speaks well about the club in general though.

I thought it was really quite impressive, and stirring.

It made me want to go and get a Villa tattoo, or punch Jasper Carrott.

For safety reasons I'd go for the latter.

Reading the possible candidates etc, it just seems such an obvious move to go and get Moyes and let him make it his home for the next 5-6 years, get it stable and build himself another Everton. If you look at them since he left too, Martinez had a great first season, but has really struggled for any consistency this, and that tight back 4 Moyes had working so well has eroded away. I don't think he ever had the luxury of spending 30 million on a striker like Lukaku either. Had he, Everton might well have made top 4 a couple more times.

What we need is for Moyes to discover his magic touch of when he was buying the likes of Arteta and Cahill for £2m each.

Yep. I don't know why, but Monk reminds me of Sherwood for some reason.

Or if you do go for the first option make sure it's only on the ankle,
That's where true AVFC fans have it put

Moyes is the stand out candidate for me and it is just whether we can persuade him.  At Everton, he brought through youth players, bought well from the lower leagues and bought some good talent from abroad.  That is exactly the kind of mix we need.

Isn't one of the criticisms of him his overall record in bringing young players through?

Memory might not be great TV, but didn't he bring quite a few through?
