Danks and MacPhee

[SoccerHQ]

We need somebody in charge on Sunday, to be fair.

At least we haven't got to watch MacDonald bungle his way through another caretaker stint

I still think we'd have given him the job full time if Newcastle 6-0 hadn't happened. That first caretaker spell wasn't too bad in terms of points.

Second time he did it he was miles out of touch and then the youth system alleged abuse reared up.

It's a shame Boateng and Delaney have both left the club in last 6 months as even putting those two in charge for a couple of games and people would get behind it.

The Delaney departure still rankles with me, almost done for the sake of it to get the managers man in rather than in the interest of the club.

Or Eric (free-hit) Black play some of the worst ever football I've seen in 40 year of attending Villa Park.

Danks and McPhee sounds like a crap detective series.

Danks and McPhee sounds like a crap detective series.

One is quiet and diligent, the other is a loose cannon with a heart of gold

I can't help feeling Nanny MacPhee would be a better option!

[Footy-Vill]

Wasn't Danks one of the appointments that started to undermine Smith after Terry and OKelly left?

John Percy has suggested Aaron Danks, was sidelined by Gerrard.

Ashley Preece said on Aaron Danks
 "I got a call late last night wanting me to return back to the training ground to inform me to step forward & lead the team across the next couple of days. I'm a local lad. I'll have friends and family in all 4 corners of the stadium. #avfc fans will be huge for us"

I'm hoping to see Cutler more involved on the sideline now. I used to really enjoy watching his enthusiasm during Deano's reign.

Like all TV detectives, they each have a personality quirk.

Danks has a 50 year old Citroen 2cv which he calls 'Dolly' and sleeps in, as his wife kicked him out last year but he's kept it under his hat.

MacPhee is actually entirely a figment of Danks' imagination.

Like Chuffy in Armstrong and Miller. But nobody will remember that.

I was going to down the Kidergarten Cop route for MacPhee. In line with being a Nanny,

How Nanny McPhee keeps surviving is a mystery.  He must have some seriously incriminating stuff on Purslow!

I don't think that is was he is suggesting, no.

[algy]

Don't really get why we fired Neil Critchley.

Not like he was some Gerrard lieutenant and he managed Blackpool to mid table in championship last season which was a really good season for them.

Surely would've made more sense to keep him for 1-2 games rather than give these pair of jokers a chance.

Exactly what I thought would be happening!

Yeah, I'd expected Critchley to hang around a bit longer too.

[eamonn]

However, the tactics seemingly accepted by Smith were nowhere to be seen under the new manager save for the odd Matty Cash long throw.

What about the Luiz corners?

Yes, if we are to bid adieu to McPhee now that Kasabian are touring again, I'll forever be thankful to Nanny for those wondrous corners. Not seen the like since the days of Stan Staunton.

Danks was good in his presser
