That John Sitton bloke might put the cat amongst the pigeons. I'd sooner him than Cotterill anyway.

I'll never tire of watching that.  It's truly beautiful.

The worrying thing is the a new manager is always the one who is fancied and the 'bigged up' by a particular individual.
Like the individual who thought it was a good idea to appoint McLeish and the convinced the owner it was a good idea.

Lets hope the new man is selected based on a consensus throughout the whole board and not on a single persons whim !

Do we actually know who, why and how McLeish was appointed? Has that story actually come out?

The next Aston Villa manager should have a fairly-thick skin and an eye for a bargain. He needs to develop a solid formation as is essential that we don't leap from the frying pan into the fire. That said, he will need to be able to mash it up against teams when the chips are down. In addition, he will display the attitude of a champ and will not coddle our pampered squad. Indeed he will give them a roasting when necessary. Solid communication skills are also required: waffle has no place in the dressing room or at press conferences.

I thought it was a recommendation from Ferguson, and Rander kept the letter in his safe as it was so precious. Leastways that's what was reported at the time.

Paul, you flatter me, mate. Though I'll take it as a compliment. Fancy being my assistant?

i think the  thing  is with  Bruce is this  would be his  biggest  job. He has a good  record  of promotion  on limited  resources . I think that affects  the style  of play. If he had been able  to go and buy more  quality , perhaps the playing style  would be different . If he does come, this  would  probably  be the first time  he has an  expensive  squad

General Krulak had a similar outlook when we brought in TSM. "Imagine what this trophy winning manager can do with our resources!" And to be fair, he took them down on 39 points and kept us up with 38.

I distinctly remember that too, "imagine what he would be like with Randy's backing".

Some sick just came to the back of my mouth.

If Bruce it will be by Friday you would think.  If Wagner it could take a while.
