I suggested two more games out of a misguided sense of fairness. Others are right - he could oversee victory in both then get hammered the next time we play and so the dance cycle  of mediocrity goes on. Two years is enough. He's got to go now.

I think he could won the next 3 (and I hope he does) and I still think he will be sacked during the international break.

Adkins being sacked is an example.of a manager doing a reasonable job and being binned. I don't think the style of play and our over reliance on moments of individual genius is enough to go up automatically.

I think they're taking their time.  I think they want a Sporting Director with connections, ideas and template for the future.

We've consistently got this part wrong.

Why the fuck is he at Anfield tonight. What on earth is going on there that has the slightest relevance to Villa right now?

Scouting. Probably rubbing one out thinking how good Mané would look at CH for us.

Maybe. But hasn’t he got more pressing issues than scouting a centre half that can’t be signed for 3 months?

The pies and cakes in the Anfield corporate areas are second to none.

Yes you could be correct. He needs to make sure Cahill is good enough to oust Jedinak from his spot.

Doesn't he live close by in Cheshire somewhere now? Not hard to understand why he may be there, he's more use there than in Birmingham anyway.

Personally I don't mind him being there. Its the coming back bit I don't like.

He's aspiring to become a decent manager. I don't blame him for seeking out appropriate inspiration.

He's reminding himself what the third round of the League Cup looks like.
