Its going to take a hell of a lot more than just tinkering with this shower to turn it into a team.I just can't see who of any quality would want it. We're an established Championship team paying premier league wages.The last sentence is very true.In this league,there are a lot of sides with the same sort of potential ;Derby,Stoke,WBA,Boro,the Sheffield clubs,Forest and even Blues,who with good management could look to emulate what Bournemouth and Watford are achieving.Then you look at how massive Leeds and Villa could be.And Villa have some of the richest owners in football.If FFP had realised some of its worst horrors and we had been forced to sell Chester,Grealish and some other experienced players,would our current league position been any worse under a decent manager who had to play some of the youngsters.A mess of Bruce's making.But we have got rid of a dinosaur.Time to go forward.

Have heard Moyes has removed his name from the vacancy.Say what you want about David Moyes but this is an indication of just how difficult the Villa job really is.
The new manager is surely going to one to the conclusion that we will attack better with one or two of our £46m worth of wingers on the pitch and one or two of our strikers, like at the same time.Revo-fucking-lutionary

I think the FFP penalty is overplayed, is it likely to be more than 12-14 points? With a proper manager that’s easily recoverable if we’re still in the division next year. Bruce has been costing us 1-2 points in most games this year.

"David Moyes pulls out of running for Aston Villa job".On closer examination, it transpired that it was dated 2016.I wonder if whoever you heard from has spotted the same outdated article?
That was the ridiculous thing today. I know MacDonald is fatally discredited as a first team manager but to set us up like that in a definition-of-insanity, Bruce esque manner was pathetic.
