Pretty much second this.

Outrageous. I remember a week or so back PL was doing an after match interview on MOTD and one question fired at him was something along the lines of "How long will it be before success arrives or something" and he rightly answered that he has just got in the door! No one seems to have patience anymore.. If you don't win your first 5 games, score shitloads of goals in these games and conceed no goals then the pressure is on, the players are scape goated and all need sold and a new manager in the door to make it miraculously all better on a shoe string budget. PL has enough success under his belt as a player and so far as a manager he is doing not too bad either. Personally I have not put any expectation on his head in his first season here except for adding to the squad slightly, assess the players he has inherited and the whole setup of the place while steadying the ship, stopping any rot that has set in and progressing from there. He is a bigger improvement on the last 2 ass clowns we have had as managers who the fans where against from the minute they where even muted as being manager. I would allow him 2 full seasons before expecting any real chance of success and top 6 finishes. Anything achieved above the minor expectation in these first 2 seasons will be a definate improvement and a miracle worked.

Exactly. 2 shit appointments on the bounce have not helped matters.

Imo I think Benty will be moved on in Jan if not then deffo the summer. Can't really blame him as he is playing in a team with no creativity that appears to be dropping quicker than a rock in water. To add that with a manager with no motivation or tactical nouse, no decent players at his disposal and shoe string budgets to work on it is inevitable really. How long before Gabby has no choice and decides to follow him out too!

Absolute spot on that man!

Ha, yeah and then the board would just cash in on them the minute someone comes in for them. Are we still under ownership of Ellis as this is just mirror images of his reign.

I guess that Man City done the same when they managed to offload Ireland to us and get Milner cheaper! Another great move by the board.

Clearly does not want to be at this club and does not appear to give a toss. Out in Jan back to Wigan imo.

The last time I saw Manchester United fans get **** this bad, Ian Huntley was sent to prison for it.

I am watching Sky Sports Soccer thingy... anyone else notice the Mr Bean lookalike presenter always starts the introduction before going to the update at Villa with "Villa being held".. "Aston Villa in danger of going out"... Tosser!

I still feel the same and nothing has changed to make me feel otherwise.. just getting worse is all that is happening.. Get behind the manager? Get him to **** more like! HOULLIER OUT!!!!

To be honest I am not suprised he has dropped out of talks! It is going to be a real shame to lose Ash either if he is sold or walks for free. We all know he wants to stay and would stay!.. but ask yourself this.. With the shite that has gone on over the last 6 months and that arsehole we have in charge would you want to stay? Na. Me neither. The situation worsens. Welcome back to the Dark ages that we faced under Doug Ellis! Aston Villa is starting to become the Biggest **** joke of english football.

I find it quite funny too that the 'Yes' % seems to be rising.. we obviously have people visiting this site who are not villa fans and thinking it be funny to vote yes to try and keep him here and keep us a laughing stock a little bit more. Genuine villa fans after last night want what is right for our club and not make it suffer further! HOULLIER OUT!

NO!!! HOULLIER OUT!

I was arrested yesterday - by complete misunderstanding though.. All it was really was a woman doing one of these stupid survey things came across to me in the street and started asking a few relationship questions.. It got to the last one where she asked me "what do you like to see most in a woman?" ... So I showed her! :notsure:

What's the difference between Lily Allen and a MILF? ...About 3 months!

The XX - Intro Brilliant piece of music!

Why would there be one today if we do not have a game tomorrow? Am i missing something? or this this #AVFC blog thing just a pile of shite? The Tweet was from over a week ago. Yes i definately missed the plane on that one then.

In the last 3 weeks we have been solidly linked with - Bob Bradley then it soon changed to Sven, and this week it was Curbishley and now Houllier is the latest. and FWIW I cannot see how we need a director of football in any way either. I still think the best manager to get would definately be Alex McLeish for various reasons as pointed out yesterday. Also to mention he is on a rolling contract and would not required a massive amount of payout... Unless he decided to walk himself. He is a manager with a sound knowledge and gets the results and respect of the dressing room too. I believe he was the man that also signed Cuellar for Rangers but i could be wrong.

GO AND GET McLEISH! No i am not joking. Yes it would piss them gypsys right off and good, it would certainly step at the atmosphere up even more come derby day! but he has proven that if he can turn a circus like that around which is good enough PL experiance for me then give him the bigger better team in the city to work with! With the foundations he has already got to work with here i think he will do really well. He is also a realistic target now too it seems..

I don't know about Houllier.. but the trip to France could be to get this chap.. 8)

Point taken but not many Eveton players would! I agree For every saha theres a heskey and for every cahill theres a Ash young etc. keeping on topic, i just don't see what Moyes could offer and to warrant why it has taken so long and left to late to appoint him if it was to be him! It is an improvment on some of the names like Mcleish, Curbs, Allerdyce, Bradley that are being mentioned, but i think we need to look a wee bit higher like we have been and look to targetp people like Jol etc.

That kind of 'shite' would walk into our side. Fellani or NRC/Petrov ? No brainer! Saha or Heskey (and maybe even Carew) ??? Come on lad. Get real I wouldn't say it is about 'getting real' as you put it, and i do not want to start going into player comparisions or would will start going round in circles! But to answer your suggestions mentioned yes i would rather have Stan over Felani. As for Heskey or Saha that cannot come into comparison, one spends more time in the physio room and the other just as much on the floor! Saha or Carew. Yes thats a no brainer right there! Carew all day long. You can't get any more real than that!

Valid point and a good one. I agree it is all eyes on Mr Lerner to pull a rabbit out of a hat so late on and appoint a good enough manager. I feel if we don't and we land up with someone like curbishley which could have been done ages ago and giving time to sign players then i feel there might be a slight backlash from fans and expose the fact it was a plan to do this so we didn't have to spend. Only a high profile manager being appointed might just appease the fans from coming to this reaction. In Randy and Villa we trust!
