I've never understood the rationale behind the belief that good players will somehow transform into brilliant managers. How often has this ever happened?I feel the same about the usual clamour for ex Villa players to come and manage us.

We need a manager with a lingering bitterness about his playing career, like Clough or Ferguson had.On that basis, anyone who has played for Villa in the last decade should be fine.

Hasn't Melberg taken a shit team in Scandinavia from the 3rd division to the top flight in two seasons?

Sounds like a perfect candidate.
What's Ivor Linton up to these days?
