If John Carver has applied it's only so he can relegate us again. The bitter fuckring.

He took Longford Town from near extinction to become a team that gained promotion to the FAI Premier League. He oversaw the building of a new stadium and achieved European football for Longford, a dream come true for the locals.He moved on to other things and, has been successful wherever he has gone. Whilst not a serious candidate for the Villa job, it would be a foolish man that underestimated his ability.I met Stephen Kenny by chance in a pub in Donegal a good four years ago. I ended up chatting to him at the bar and what struck me about him - apart from his being an absolute gentleman - was that he knew everything about Villa. I think we were in the thick of the McLeish season and I was venting my woes whilst he nodded sagely, hot whiskey in hand. After I'd finished, he started reeling off the whole Villa squad, those whom he rated, those whom he didn't rate, formations he'd use etc., etc. I was just astounded by his knowledge and grasp of the situation Villa were in.I would file this under "April Fool" but that is not to demean Kenny, his track record suggests he is a very talented manager.

Hutton, Clark and Westwood is about not having Premier League quality, not bad attitudes. Thing the attitudes need to go first, then look to remove those three later.If we have a turnaround of 15 players out/up (assuming we lose the likes of Ayew, Veretout, Gana, Adama and someone like Gil, Sanchez or Amavi) we won't go up. Fulham did that a couple of years ago and it just doesn't work.Key is getting rid of the toxic (Agree with top 5/6 of that list) and then working to improve the quality. The three of those could be okay squad players in that league. Even if they would need replacing were we to come up.
