Well i want Howe but he won't come mid-season, if at all. After that i'm undecided. Smith well i don't think he's the right choice but i'm not against him as such. Henry doesn't excite me. If we're going down that route i'd rather have Terry as at least he knows the club. After that i don't know, Rogers, Ranieri, both could be okay. Even a complete left-field choice would be okay as long as it showed the club had thought about it. Just as long as its not a predictable lazy choice, i.e. fat sam, moyes.....

No fucking way to moyes, allardcye or any other fu King recycled British tit. No to anyone that has been an abject failure like stomoccellinolu or whatever he is called. No to any manager that can't decipher the difference between was and were. No to any manager that thinks a ball should be lumped from the back, or leaves all the training to a few shitty mates that are not really very good coaches.

Yes to any manager that has a clear vision, wants to play attacking football and has an idea about organising a team

I think you nailed it for me. I want someone that excites me, for whatever reason be it lots of potential, a name, a left-field choice, not a 'well, I can see why they appointed him' appointment.

The key word for me is identity. We need to play with a clear mind to what we’re trying to achieve and how we’re going to do it.

Seriously, if it's one of those meat & potatoes dinosaurs I'd stop watching.  Take a year off, develop an interest in tennis, check results at the end of May only.

Henry, Terry or Smith for me. No more press loving British journeyman. This is crossroads for Villa.

Yep.  Identify and intent.

I’m interested in this Fu King. I hear they’ve done great things in the CSL.

Such a small market that it's probably John's tenner that's brought the odds down  ;D

Despite the fact we are in the championship, I would imagine we are a very easy sell to any potential manager.

We might be in the championship but you ‘Mr. Manager’ can get us up as quickly as possible and then with us being the richest owners in British football, you can have untold riches when we are in the premier league.

And that’s not tongue in cheek, we are a very attractive proposition to any ambitious, quality manager.
