Lampard/Terry dream team, with Jody Morris as coach, and Vinny Jones and Denis Wise in as consultants.

Could we not find a role for Ken Bates?

Could have him stuffed and put on a plinth next to the McGregor statue. Something like that would be easy to make seem tacky, but if we did it right, I think it would be a lovely, touching tribute. We would probably have to wait for him to die first. Or not, whichever was easier.

I don’t get the Fonseca attraction.  My knowledge is limited to wiki but it is an average CV at best.
Getting Roma to 5th doesn’t strike me as success and winning the Ukrainian league must be like managing in Scotland.

Looks likely that they're getting him. Which pisses off Man Utd more than us of course, we weren't ever in the running for him, but fuck me does it emphasise the level that's required to climb up this division.

For me
Favre, Gaultier and Potter

My fear of what it would be
Lampard, Gerrard, Howe

I'm with Drummond really. The big names names wouldn't come, and people like Terry, gerrard and Lampard are a massive gamble.  Frank - this year's Wilder. Potter not convinced. Always liked Howe just because he upset the odds for years but again villa are a bit different proposition.

Yeah, I'm not quite sure what the fuss is. He seems to have had a decent career. But certainly not enough to warrant the fawning he gets.

History repeating itself from 97/98? Villa man in charge, new striker signing destabilises system and unsettles leading goalscorer, coaching team weakened by departures. Hopes were high for the season but now facing a relegation battle. I guess if we continue that thread, it means John Terry coming in. Would he do a John Gregory and turn it around? I'm not so sure.

I'd go all put to bring Nuno to the Club Immediately.  Done a fantastic job for Wolves and has European experience . The Tottenham job was always going to end like that with Kane sulking.  Fantastic opportunity for us

Ta mate. Now rule out Gerrard and Lampard, please, and I can relax a bit.

Would rather him than the Twatty Trio of Gerrard, Lampard or Terry, but isn't he a bit dull? Also, does anyone know if he plays five at the back? If so, I'm out.
