Oh I agree that Allardyce can't be appointed now. Bruce is the more serious suggestion of that manager type.
Yes but still a terrible choice.

Disagree.  If we  in the PL you maybe right but at this level and at this time he is just what we need.  The better options won't be availble I don't think.

That is true CTV but his sins are sins of omission.  Chester should be bollocking Elphick not holding back because Mr Dreamybollocks has the armband.  Give him a few liveners.

I would like to see Ryan Giggs given the job...he has learnt from the best and I think would get the best out of our exciting frontline  and would probably give our young lads a chance. The thought of Warnock or Bruce in the home dugout at Villa Park sends a shiver down by spine.

The only thing going for Giggs is the star factor. You would think our young bunch would idolize the guy and at least respect what he has to say. Other than that, I don't see him having any merit of taking such a job.

I know your point is more general Brian, but I think Gollini is pretty good. He's made a couple of errors and been severely punished. I think he's shown a lot of promise.

If we'd have been 3-0 up in those games the mistakes wouldn't have been viewed on so harshly. The one thing RDM can be excused on is his forwards and midfielders not sticking away the 100+ chances they've created this season.

So we should employ Giggs just because he "learnt from the best", but Bruce would be a terrible choice.

Gotcha.

Giggs needs to start at the bottom and learn his trade.

Glen Hoddle never seems to appear on these prospective lists - he would certainly be someone who would be a perfect candidate to me.   


It could work you know, he and Tone are both Scorpios.

and if he came out of retirement and put his boots back on even at his age he would still be head and shoulders better than anyone else in our squad

We're probably a centre half and a centre mid away from being a very good side. There is however more than enough in the squad for us to win a lot of games. It's imperative that we get a tactically astute manager who is also proactive. I just want to see Villa win some fucking games.

Agree with PW.
Think Gollini could turn out a very good keeper.
Yes, he's made a couple of costly errors, and yes, if we'd been 3-0 up maybe it would be viewed differently. For me, though, he's made up for these with outstanding saves in games that would have been lost without them.
