Frighteningly accurate.  Let's face it, who'd want the Villa job in these circumstances?

Anyone that wants to earn at least a million quid for starters.

Too simplistic, especially when management opportunities come and go with alarming frequency. There will be at least 4-5 so called big jobs requiring managers in the next 6-8 weeks, all paying very good money. If I were a gifted manager, I'd be paying close attention to a lot more things than my bank account.

The thing is, even a month ago I'd have agreed it's a shit job, but now, with the changes Hollis has made, there's genuine hope.

Plenty of managers will fancy it, if you can turn this ship round, it sets you up massively. Get it wrong and you can blame what you inherited.

I just don't see us making the same mistakes now.

We've got a lunatic in charge with a proven track record for consistently making dreadful decisions. Doesn't matter who is employed beneath him, the fish rots from the head.

It has just dawned on me, we are actually going down. I knew it was coming but somehow it didn't seem real before.

Oh fuck
