Cleverly was mostly very ordinary

Cleverly came good at the right time and weighed in with some very important goals, Everton and West Ham where we got 6 points to take us to safety. I was disappointed that he chose Everton in the end.

Cleverley was better than Veretout.

He'd look like Messi in this side.

It became obvious to me in one of those 4am Villa nightmares that Brian Little has been brought back as insurance to babysit the first team when Remi walks - he just like the rest of us has given up and must be close to saying fuck it im off. Fully expect it to happen this week and gives us a chance to get the right man in before the summer.

No he hasn't. He's been convinced to join in exactly the capacity being described. Take some warm milk before bed and you'll stop thinking those things.

Grealish will be a good player if his heads on right but he had three of four good games then the opposition started paying him more attention and he became jaded, and that was under TS,he also had Benteke leading the line.

The answer is to appoint a suitable candidate at the time and that would mean doing due diligence on the man given the job, but prior to this week we had no one within the club who was capable of that, list of 1 Fox for Sherwood.

But the reality for a manager is, results based criteria, you need to be able to improve the team as you are collecting points, establish a style of play that suits the assets at your disposal, yes (wink wink) we will get you some bodies in, in January.

Getting rid of one manager maybe costs the club 2 or 3 million, how much to write of the contracts of the following
Gabby, Hutton, Westwood, Richards, Guzan,Gestede, Sinclair, Clark, Cisoko, a dam sight more than 3 million, and that was a 27 million loss announced last week, not a 50 million profit.

May be wrong but that is 21st Century Premier League football.

If Randy wants to get back to the big money his only chance will be to emit a deep sigh and pay David Moyes whatever he wants to come and sort us out and put together a winning squad.  That is assuming he doesn't sell up and I'm beginning to question whether he really wants to.

You have to speculate to accumulate  Randy!

In fairness, he's put an awful lot of money in. It's just been spent unwisely.

I think that comparisons with TS and the "new manager bounce" are unfair to RG. Since that bounce we have sold our only decent players and replaced them with absolute rubbish or/and embarrassments to the Club. IMO nobody will get a bounce from this squad and unless a complete change of direction at the top happens, that will continue.

He has been successful in three different divisions on a low budget.

I'd be happy with Moyes at this moment - he's been around the English game for a long time now - and my problem with all the appointments since MON/Houlier has been that we need someone who isn't gaining his experience in the big time at Villa's expense.

Now that Moyes has managed Man U does he really want to go back to mucking it in the Championship? He sees himself as a PL manager. That's where he will manage again.
