Next Villa manager

I hope Bruce is like the Roman representation of Charon in the arena on the 30th.

Comes on with a hammer to smash the skull to make sure they're dead.

Wouldn't happen like that if the Noses were in the arena mind, as they'd be the Noxii,who'd be first up to be attacked by the wild beasts, rather than Gladiators in combat.

It doesn't take much to move the market but Sean Dyche is being backed and is a sea of blue on oddschecker

Noticed that too. Wouldn't be a bad choice but I think I'd still prefer Bruce.

[Monty]

I think I might prefer Bruce to Dyche as well, based on what I've seen. I can't discern much difference except that Bruce is more experienced.

Dyche constantly sounds as if he needs to cough to clear his throat. That's about the only thing he and Andre Villas Boas have in common

we are only 10 points off a playoff place and 13 off the automatic places. With 35 games to go, I would say that they are not beyond reach as long as whoever the new manager is, is able to turn around our form

based on recent history, and the fact we haven't strung 2 or 3 wins together for what 2 or 3 years? its going to take a turnaround of biblical proportions to get anywhere near promotion this season.

By my reckoning the last time we won 3 league games in a row was April 2010. Portsmouth, Hull and sha.

Yes and we've won two in a row only 9 times in 6 and 1/4 seasons,

2 times under Sherwood
3 times under Houllier/Mcallister
4 times under Lambert

I watched 2 of those 3 games in the Big Bamboo in Shanghai. The only pub in my life where I have never seen Villa lose.

i thought we should have gone for dyche after lambert.

has worked wonders at burnley and is a far better long-term solution than bruce.

Gimme Gimme Dyche

Or as the Evening Mail are reporting it

"All the latest as BIG money comes in for second favourite"

I'm willing to contribute a pound to the fund to send you back there :-)

difference being this time that most people will agree that we are under achieving with this squad in this league and the standard of the opposition is generally poor

[not3bad]

Sean Dyche sounds like the better option for me.
