Ancellotti has bottled it simple as, knew it would be a challenge as he doesn't just walk into a squad which he did at other clubs.

I have a feeling on Ancellotti he doesn't want a challenge, he knows he has to build the side which i'm afraid he ain't got the bottle to do.

Just on Hughes, I have been informed it will not be him 100%.

Do you remember when Brian Little resigned? All the rumour and hear say that was going round about a seriously big name appointment.

What did we do? Go down to Division two and poach John Gregory from Wycombe.

Moral of the story: Never be surprised by AVFC

Who then went on to do very very well for a while, in the face of an initial shit storm of criticism for not being a big name.

Very true. Won 7 of his first 9 games. Only lost twice, both times at home to Bolton and Barnsley.

All started to go a bit wrong when he started believing his own hype though

Going totally off topic, but I thought that Barnsley game was a 0 0 draw? Just remember shot after shot some how not going in.

Barnsley won 1-0, remember it vividly as my year head at the time supported them and ripped the piss for a good while only for them to get relegated!!!

We won't appoint Rijkaard.

Options are running out lol! I might aswell apply.

Kendrick has confirmed we tried for Ancellotti but he said NO!

I really just can't see it being McCLaren!! If it is the Villa board have gone crazy.

Jol will go to Fulham. I honestly think we're after Moyes.

The thing that really annoys me about the wally is his pen and paper, he tries to act all continental which does my bloody nut in. Seriously if he's appointed, i will pick and choose my games next year. We employ a middle of the road manager! Faulkner will only employ him so he can increase the ginger ninja's.

I honestly think it will be suicide for the board if McLaren is appointed as manager. Fans are already frustrated with this season, and ST sales are down on previous years so I think they need to signal a statement of intent as if this wally is appointed the current ST's they do have will also be sent back.

Carlos Alberto Pareira is here!!!

Whats Joleon Lescott got to do with it? Could easily argue Kompany but won't waste my time. I can see where thetrees is coming from, Villa needs a lot of rebuilding, With the players we have Hughes would be better suited. But I'd say him quitting Fulham has finished his chances at VP!

Trent meant Ashley as Redman was on about him before that he was more likely to go to Liverpool as their Tony Barrett Times never gets it wrong.

Just like Young was!

Was by Rafa himself to try and get attention to the Villa board.

I'll believe it when I see it in regards to Ancellotti!

Unfairly getting slagged off in my opinion, oh yeah how many goals did wonderboy get in the WORLD Cup, sweet FA.

How did he implement the style Barcelona play? That's the philosophy if their football from Cruyff's day as manager.

As echoed above!!!

I don't get this he got rid of the academy? It was actually Houllier who did that and now Liverpool have some great Youth coming through!

Give us a hint YIM is he a waiter?

Anyone remember his Italian striker signing, Mendietta. You could say he had a part to play in crippling that club!

He is a poor manager and actually thinks he's better than he is.

Out of that list it has to be Jol or Rafa who I am sort of coming around too!
