Fuck Moyes. If we want to appoint a manager on the basis they were good six years ago, we may as well just get Lambert back.
Moyes has failed horrifically at every job since Everton (and he wasn't hugely popular there with many of their fans towards the end).
Amen to that.
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.Fucking top set of requirements. Send a copy to Wyness please.a spud-based job spec.
Quite brilliant and a tad subtle BE!
Have a house point!
Whoever does the job needs to have something at stake. Too many being linked with the appointment wouldn't be that arsed if they failed. If they made a go of it they'd look brilliant; if they failed they'd just shrug and walk away and say 'hey, it was an impossible job, what could I have done?'
But only somebody who is utterly desperate to succeed, somebody with their back to the wall, somebody with nowhere else to go, can make a success of Villa from here. That's the top and bottom of it.
Rowett for me. It would be shit or bust.

Admit I wanted Moyes in the summer. I don't this time because 1. He's pissed us around twice, and 2. He's proved at Sunderland he's a busted flush.

Echo' s my thoughts from the summer and now. He will be sacked by Sunderland in due course and then become a pundit.
Moyes, Bruce, Mclaren...... Please make it stop.

I agree about shit or bust for whomever being a good thing, but please can we have someone who's actually the first fucking clue about what they're trying to achieve over and above "just win the bloody game"
Houllier was the last one who seemed to have a clear idea of what he wanted that didn't involve 10 men in the penalty area for 85 minutes of a game.
Random ramblings from walking the dog, but I ended up likening it to a lot of music in some way being hung of the basic tennet of 12 bar blues. Once you've got that down you can go to (proper) R&B, rock'n'roll, metal and any other number of genres, as long as you've got the basic foundation off the bass and drums to hang it off.

Yes, this coming from someone who was shouting from the rooftops for Neil Warnock yesterday. And we were pleading with you to make it stop. But you didn't.
