I don't see the appeal of Rodgers, I've always thought he was a bit of a twat but in the last 13-14 months he's taken an FA cup winning team from 5th to being worse than we are.

Seconded.

My hope is that two Hollywood A list actresses decide to pop round to mine for a threesome, and that’s about as likely.

More likely that it'll be on Snapchat.

Thing is a couple of lookers like that don't want to sit and chat about villa they want some action. Think he might have to call in the real men.

Next weeks Trust AGM is cancelled, maybe because Purslow pulled out. Hopefully not because he doesn’t want to answer awkward questions but because he will be busy flying to wherever to talk to Pochettino🤔

They won the FA Cup under him. And twice finished 5th. And are Leicester effing City. So that's something.

Not saying Rodgers is a messiah or anything, but it does seem like more is going wrong than just him there, and he does have a good record in the division.

I thought Rodgers a good choice, he has always been respectful about us.
Those Foxes have other issues, selling everyone they can and expecting same results, they had a couple of fantastic/freak seasons that they should be grateful for  but were never going to be a football Dynasty
Now I am not sure about him, could be a three year cycle that gets us on the shoulder of the top four ?
But unless we have an investment strategy in players that is more aggressive than the last two windows that is probably as good as it gets.

Yeah that's how I feel. He's a proper manager, not like the current bloke who was only appointed due to his playing career.

Still don't want him though. Pocho Pocho Man. It's got to be... a Pocho Man. If we all sing that tomorrow, after the Leander of the Gang song, it's bound to happen.

Well obviously we want any manager of AVFC to succeed. The question is, can they? In  Steeeviiee G's current situation...it's not looking great

Rodgers just feels wrong. 


Maybe right manager wrong time.

If he leaves struggling Leicester/ gets booted in the next few weeks he's on a massive downer and that can spill into the next gig.   Shades of McNeill. Though - in fairness - he has more in his locker tactically than Billy McBingo.

Potch as candidate numero uno - if everything aligns and he doesn't hold out for a gig with a top rank Euro club or one the next step down. 

The timing with Mancini might be more suitable for all concerned. That's the calibre of manager we should be approaching. Success at this level. Has managed big clubs across Europe but has taken less obvious gigs as well. It probably would mean a return to Villa Park for David Platt, mind.  Not sure how I feel about that.

Nuno was potted early doors at Tottingham, but he somehow got the Tatters into Europe. Playing decent football as they did it. Three at the back merchant though. Might not go down too well with some.

As a leftfield candidate, Didier Six was coaching the Guinea national team as recently as June last year. He might finally help to integrate the French lads if nowt else.  Bring him home.
