I said it a couple of weeks ago and I'll say it now. We've been relegated. Some of our supporters reckon we'll be lucky to stay in the Championship. And yet, for some unfathomable reason, David Moyes isn't good enough for us. I really, really, can't work it out.

I can't either.  I think some can't quite grasp the reality of the situation we're in.

Well I guess that depends if you believe those that think we'll be lucky to stay in the Championship.

I know it's absolutely bonkers. I just can't get my head around the idea that Moyes isn't good enough for us.

And yet Nigel Pearson with one promotion to the top division to his name and sacked after one year in the Premier League is some kind of managerial genius.

If the pool consisted of Moyes, and then the likes of Eddie Howe, Aitor Karanka and even someone slightly leftfield (but possibly inspired) like Carlos Queiroz then it might be a dilemma.

When it's Moyes and then Bruce, Blockhead Pearson, Mad Mick and co, then it is really no dilemma at all.

Getting Moyes would be a real coup for us and way above my current expectations.

Which is why I'm not expecting it.

Which I don't, but neither do I think that there's a manager out there who would turn us round better than he would. If you have a better candidate, I'd love to hear it.

Whoever it is will have to have the respect of a pretty shit dressing room smartish, and then be able to instil a very disciplined style of football into the team as a very basic block to build on next season. I trust Moyes to do that and make it sustainable over a period of time. We need a stable, calm influence that is willing to put the foundation work in and build a side. Not a boy racer that looks exciting but will have burned out the tyres in his Nova by the end of the road.

I'm not expecting it either.  If I were him, I'd be waiting to see which Premier League jobs became available because he is bound to be amongst the front runners if any of the mid to lower table ones do.  It would be a major coup if we could persuade him to take on the job at Villa Park.

This. Totally and utterly this. Fucking Nigel Pearson, above David Moyes? I really just don't get it. Moyes failed at Man United, yes, but the good job he did at Everton gave him that shot at the bigger club. I'll take Moyes every day of the week over Pearson. If not Moyes, Rodgers.

It's a bit like waiting for Christmas.
You know there'll be something.
You're just hoping it's the thing you really, really want.
Or something more fantastic.

No pressure, Mr. H.

The above poll tells us Moyes is the manager most Villa fans want though.

I reckon Moyes is waiting for Ronny Deila to shuffle of the perch at Celtic Park.

With all dud respect, there's a reason why Ronny Delia got do job up there in the first place.
