The unique relationship we as Villa fans have/had with Smith will not be replicated in the next manager appointment. So whoever the next manager is will get my support .........

Hence my point let's get there first!

I want us to get back to the premier league as soon as possible and if Bruce, given his credentials, is the most likely to manage it then so be it. Once we're there, then we can look at who is best for the club long term, whether it's Bruce or someone else.

Just go get HUGHES............

agreed. If it happens then I'm prepared to give a chance. And he can bring Foster with him!

I would add Sheila Maybury to those mentioned above. Always extremely helpful regarding ticket issues for disabled supporters.

I don't. We are not in the sort of mess that requires Big Sam. No thank you. If we aren't careful we could be! And that's my greatest fear. Sam could stabilise (sp?) us with the existing squad, then take us forward.

I thinks we should be doing we can to get Sam Allardyce from Blackburn, pay them compensation and lets's get him. I don't think he was given much chance at Newcastle and given that he can work with minimal resources (though i do feel Lerner will give the next manager full financial backing) I feel he's the man to take us forward.

Agreed!

Fully agree with this. I feel both parties are to blame here. I really like MON but do have to question certain aspects of his man management skills given how he appears to have fallen out with a number of players in the last couple of season.

Assuming Dunne arrives I would play the following team away from home (4-5-1): Friedal L. Young Cuellar Dunne Warnock Milner Reo-Coker Petrov Sidwell A. Young Carew or Agbonlahor (can't decide between them) At home I would play 4-4-2: Same as above except drop Petrov and add either Carew or Agbonlahor

Really wanted him to stay but not anymore! Yes i know his head hs been turned but he hasn't helped himself either with his 'dummy out the pram' tantrums. Sad to say but I really do hope Liverpool can still come up with the £18M.
