I really don't see how a combination of Sir Brian and Ian Taylor could do any worse for the remainder of the season.At least we might see some effort and, possibly, even something remotely resembling football.

I'd try for Leonardo Jardim. Did a great job at Monaco first time round and has a reputaion for improving players.
Shame his name is not Jardin. What a bilingual punfest we could cultivate.

We do, and it's got to stop.We never seem to want to do the hard work of courting the right man and convincing them that Villa is the right choice, I don't think we've done it since O'Neill really - we've always gone for the easy choice, the one at a smaller club whom we knew would jump at the chance of managing us, or else whoever was out of work and available at the time. You could even make an argument that MON fit the latter criteria.
Smith is going nowhere.
