Welcome Roberto Di Matteo and Steve Clarke

[LeeB]

Gavin Peacock, he's now a batshit crazy preacher in America. If you have Twitter take a look @Gpeacock8.

Is he still persevering with his 'Ming the Merciless' look?

[lovejoy]

Not to wowed by our biannual managerial appointment but let's see who we get in another 6 months.

Not sure, he certainly isn't a fan of homosexuals.

There's another Chelsea player who went on to be a preacher/minister as well. I think it was Babayaro but I'm not sure.

Could we make a team out of footballers who have gone on to preach?

David Ike
Brian Tyler
Peter Knowles
Gavin Peacock
Babayaro...

So who do you believe we could have got that would have been a better appointment in your opinion ? Unless I have missed something, there's not exactly a lot of top managers available or willing to manage in The Championship.

Maybe he's a Pearson or a Rodgers man.

I think RDM, Clarke and maybe Bond show a measured approach from Xia (and Hollis) with a view to the future. It would be nice not to have to change management personnel so often and this line up could carry us back to European football, the potential is there. I'm much happier with this than a quick-fix, let's get promoted manager, who hits his ceiling immediately after promotion. Let's leave the yo-yoing to lesser clubs.

Well I'd say given his reference to the 6 monthly manager change then whoever it was he would have spun it into being a negative.

European football? I'm as happy as the next man that we've got a new manager but this kind of talk should be left to delusional Toon fans. I'll take finishing 6th and making the playoffs. In a decent kit

Do you seriously think Xia's plan only consists of gaining promotion...it's not delusional, it's business planning and it's an essential component of all successful companies.

Next Aston Villa manager: Steve Clarke, Kevin Bond and Massimiliano Marchesi set to join staff

Steve Clarke and Kevin Bond would be terrific additions.

Wow - Bond as well - don't know much about Marchesi but he seems to be a hard taskmaster so that'll do for me. Now a decent keeper coach and we're in a decent position. I would LOVE to see Gabby on the first day back.

Do you think we'll be one of the top 3 clubs in the world then? cos that's what the Dr ordered? and I'm not sure what Xia knows about successful companies. Just adding a bit of realism to the debate here.   

[Gregorys Boy]

Yes Bond is another good addition.  Think we need to get the coaching staff and structure right atb the club first, then work on transfers etc..
