How do I modify the poll to add other names like Wagner, who seems an interesting option given what he's done so far at Huddersfield? Or even Pearson who I didn't even consider.

I've added Wagner and the nutter.

Thanks Mr Shin

The only manager I'd trust to sort our lot out would be bighead Allardyce based on what he managed with Sunderland last season - they were terrible and he turned them round. We need turning round big style. I don't care about the style of football and we can get rid should we ever grace the Premiership again.

I agree.  He's got the kind of ego needed to manage a club like Villa and would come wanting to prove a point.  I keep hearing about style of football, but to actually have a style would be an improvement on the shapeless mess we have seen over the past few years.

Martinez?

He's manager of Belgium. He's hardly leaving that to come to us. And quite frankly him and RDM are cut from the same cloth/ Talk a great game, wear nice suits, deliver next to nothing.

Just a name that popped in my head really, but didn't know he was Belgium manager, and he was unlimately shite at Everton but did well at Wigan and possibly Swansea was it before?

Allardyce of all the choices would be the best suited to get us out of this situation and promoted this season. Unfortunately he's a money grabbing, morally corrupt prick where this isn't his only indiscretion of this type...allegedly.

The sun saying Lee Johnson is one candidate

He's star is certainly in the ascendancy, but I'd be surprised if he'd be willing to come here when things are going so well for him at Brizzle City. Stranger things have happened, mind.

Yes I'd be pretty confident Alladyce would improve us a lot. Can't see us taking him though with the recent shit storm. Bruce I think for me, but I'm far from certain it would work. Just a bit more hopeful than i would be with most of the others.

If we are very lucky there might be a credible manager available who wants to come with the confidence that he can turn it around, unlike RDM who appears to have enjoyed the bumper contract knowing he can blame his half arsed failure on the poisoned chalice that is AVFC.

If Billic is leaving Westham (as is rumoured today) I'd bite your arm off.

really? They look shit this season - not Villa levels of shit, granted, but shit. And he has absolutely no experience of the Championship.

Could that be put down to the problems in the new stadium though? It like they've played every game away from home.

Is experience of the Championship necessary?

He is still likely to get further punishment from his latest indiscretions so is not an option. That's without taking into account the fact that he's a fucking twat.
