There are some people who believe if you question Villa/ the manager/ the board then you don't support the club as much as those who follow blindly do.

Today has thrown up some disappointing or worrying issues - no contract, possibility of him having to stay in France for three months (unlikely but shouldn't even be a possibility), Assistants turning us down left, right and centre (for whatever reason) and he's seemingly still hung up on Liverpool and seems to underestimate our recent history.

All very concerning. People will try to put a positive spin on as it means they love Aston Villa more but they are all facts which need answering, some will take time but others (such as contract) should be answered now.

I can't think of any other club at any level (EVER!) having a press conference to introduce a new manager who hasn't signed any contract, can't attend for at least two weeks and potentially three months with no clue as to who the assistants will be. Farcical in the extreme and if it was happening to any other club then we would ALL be saying how ridiculous it is.

Top post Jack.

I agree with every word. We're in serious danger of becoming a laughing stock, if we're not there already ....

I actually really feel for Big Mac in this situation. What an awful position he has been placed in.

Top Post - bang on...

Thank **** PT wants nothing to do with us..... At last some good news!

So the fact that we've finally got a manager in who also happens to be half decent isn't good news?

Not really no. He maybe half decent, but not sure about the other half! PT as his number 2 would have been too much to take. All things considered, if GH is the best of a rather bad bunch who were available or interested, then we'll just have to see what happens - but I can't say I'm excited about the appointment.

Words can't describe how much i hate that prick

I couldn't agree more...

Defensive minded GH who helped oversee France's National side, and 'know it all' scouse prick PT...

Who are these experts that the Villa heirachy have been talking to to in order to get the best possible team to move us forward??

Its laughable!

I don't want Phil Thompson anywhere near Aston Villa Football Club, if this happens it is such a backwards step.

He is a complete prick, and probably cannot believe his luck that this unfolding infront of him...

12-14th with current squad - with injuries we could be flirting with the bottom 3 come March unless MON gets a move on in transfer market. We do not have a prem defense!!!
