I actually think Rowett could be a decent shout. Lives local, Villa fan, doing a good job with the unwashed. He would drag his balls over broken glass to come here from them, they're doing well this season and can just about scrape 16,000 at home. Tinpot outfit.

This appointment is the most vital since the last most vital appointment

I'm starting to find myself care just that little bit less with every passing season.

I was thinking about this last night, two organisations which are important to me - Villa and the labour party, and they are both sinking basket cases of rapidly diminishing relevance.

Meh.

Or both currently reshaping, reinventing and becoming relevant again ;-)

just woke up to the news

well done Tone for not messing about and Steve Clarke you are lucky you havent gone too , you are to blame as well.

No idea who i want to be honest , wagner looks interesting but hasnt managed for long , I like Lee Johnson but i think Villa are too soon just like Dean Smith .

whos left ? Coleman , Bruce  Rowett and the umbrella man or ryan bloody Giggs and Gary Neville ...

who ever he is

If you want to last in this job , please stop playing Westwood , he will lose you your job.

I've got a horrible feeling we are going to be the trial team for the Ryan Giggs experience !!!!!

You are lucky Paulie only to have Villa and the Labour Party to despair about.  I have the full set because I also care about Christianity becoming increasingly irrelevant, especially the Church of England.

If we take the likely case scenario that promotion based on previous years statistics after 11 games then I would accept an appointment that at least gets some momentum going.  It isn't the time to start being experimental.  Surely Bruce couldn't make us any worse.

Bruce, Hodgeson or Rowett. Wouldn't mind any of them.

Glad Dr X has made the call though. It just couldn't be allowed to go on anymore.

The margins are so fine. We hold on in three of those five games and we are bobbing around in mid-table with no-one questioning the manager.

Other than that I'm not sure what to think anymore. Bruce could do a job, maybe. The last manager I was genuinely excited about was O'Neil and that's now ten years ago...
