Has the rest of the coaches been fired too?

Just Shakespeare so far

So who is our actual manager at the moment?

Probably Kevin McDonald somehow

Ha ha!

Genuine question. Is Potter a villa fan?

I’m surprised Dwight Yorke hasn’t put himself forward yet.

Haha. Cue internet meltdown in 3,2,1…

Shakespeare’s gone?  I’m hoping the reason Nanny MacPhee and the other one hasn’t yet is because Purslow didn’t realise they actually worked there.

Seriously if Shakespeare’s gone they must have someone lined up before the next game

Oh he will and then claim some sort of prejudice when he doesn’t get an interview

Don’t want
Dyche
Gerrard
Lampard
Nuno.

Very good list of Noes, Tony. All for different reasons, but I don't think any of them are what we look like we need.
Do we add Potter to the list?

As long as the new guy can make decisions in the first half if things are obviously not working and subs before the 65th minute (if needed)?

I think Potter's got something, and it would be interesting to see how he does as a step-up. Gamble, but then we're not appointing a dead-cert any time soon.

Or buy a DCM and pick the right formation to start with.

If it’s  a gamble I recommend the Cov manager.

4231 is the formation, but we need a £40m defensive midfielder… going to be a long wait until january.
