Just got a couple. Not many left apparently.

Have they sold out already? I was hoping to get my hands on a couple.

I'm underwhelmed by it all but I what can I do. I'm sure RL and co have taken utmost care and diligence in finding the right candidate available. They want the club to succeed obviously and so do I so i'm more than happy with houillier. We have a good squad of players and we can still do well in the league. Will be interesting to see how we do with a new manager as a comparison to how well MON did.

10/1 cheers!

We have got a game on Monday lest we forget. Wonder what the complications are.

Can anyone send me a link on where is good to stream movies?

This is **** embarrassing. He's played 2 fecking games.

General, Whoever it is that you appoint as our manager, the majority of the fans will support that man and give him a fair chance. If it is Houillier, what attracted you to him?

Give whoever it is a **** chance will ya. The club needs it's fans during a difficult period. Grow some balls.

Whoever it is I will give that manager a chance...

Fair enough if they say Houillier is the favourite for the job but to explicitly say that he has got it surely they have some additional inside info?

Yeah the headline makes it sound like its a done deal but it just says head of the queue.

Jol > Hitzfeld > Moyes > Hughes > Bilic > Mclaren > Houllier Sven > Allardyce > KMac > Koeman > Zola > Mcnulty > Southgate > Stringer Bell > Brown

I want the club to be run successfully and attracting the best talent (as that is what normally leads to winning things ) that we can regardless of where that person is. It is a little bit like saying we should only buy players from a certain place and who are available isn't it? When we buy players who are under contract, we make a bid to the club who they are contracted to and one of two things happen. Either we are told no, or are granted permission to discuss a move with the player. If all goes well, the player signs for us. The same scenario exists with a manager who is contracted to another club. Let's use Moyes for an example. We approach Kenwright, make a bid for release of him from his contract and hopefully discuss the role directly with David Moyes. Or Kenwright says no, then we move on. Yes, I want the best players and best manager available but I do not want to circumvent the usual process and get a manager to walk out on his contract in order to come to us. If we're looking for a manager to stay with us for the long-term and attempt to build a dynasty, having a manager who is willing to walk out at the first sign of a better offer elsewhere is not a good way to start. Thats all well and good but the managers available to us who are not under contract are to say the least lacklustre. If we want to get a high class manager we may very well have to nick him from another club - do you think the club would be averse to do doing this?

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/197022/MacDonald-must-be-free-to-coach? ASTON Villa expect to have a new man in charge soon. What they must not do is appoint Kevin MacDonald as the manager. Villa are a club I have a lot of affection for, having worked there twice as a manager and also been on the board. This is their opportunity to remodel how the football side of the club is run and probably their best chance of breaking into the top four. When I was managing them, MacDonald was there. He has been there a long time and I have great respect for his knowledge and coaching ability. That is why Villa should appoint him as head coach, his responsibility beginning and ending with the first team and getting out on the training pitch with them. That is what he is best at. If they make MacDonald the manager in the old-fashioned way, they will not be getting the best out of him. It will be a waste. It’s how Martin O’Neill managed Villa – he was responsible for everything. It’s the way I used to manage, it’s the way Sir Alex Ferguson used to manage. But Alex now delegates more. If I was in management now, so would I. The job is too big for one man. It needs to be split. MacDonald would have to do the media duties as well because there is no way the man who runs the team can’t answer the questions. But all the rest of it, the contracts and the money side of the club, that needs to be taken off him and done by someone else. What has happened with O’Neill couldn’t have happened at a worse time. And he’s taken another four staff with him – the assistant manager, first-team coach, goal-keeping coach and chief scout. It’s been a big hole to fill for MacDonald, promoted from looking after the reserves at which he was excellent. With Tony McAndrew also promoted alongside him, MacDonald has done well to get Villa through these past two weeks. SEARCH FOOTBALL for: The chairman, Randy Lerner, did not over-react to the team beating a poor West Ham side in the first game under MacDonald, nor did he over-react to the 6-0 defeat at Newcastle. He has let MacDonald run the team and is taking an overview of the five games he has had. MacDonald has taken his time to be sure, but perhaps not done himself any favours by talking openly of his doubts about doing the job now he has said he wants to be considered. This is a big chance for Lerner to put Villa on a better footing, to be able to compete in the big four with a head coach who appoints, or agrees to the appointments, of those who will work with him. There will be a lot of applicants for the job, but I don’t see a lot out there. Sven-Goran Eriksson would bring a calm to the job, but is he the same manager now who did pretty well with Manchester City? I don’t know. Martin Jol? Would he want to come to Villa now he seems to have got what he wants with Ajax? Other top European names with no experience of our Premier League have been ruled out by Villa. The appointment of MacDonald as the new head coach is more and more attractive, with that brief to change the whole model. When I was on the board at Villa I asked the then manager, John Gregory, what he wanted, and how I could help. He said that Villa needed a better worldwide scouting system and I set about putting that in place for him. However, when I left it was not carried on. It’s the big area that is letting down Villa. I know Ian Storey-Moore, who was chief scout under O’Neill, and how the club operated. Villa did not take many players from abroad, it was mainly an English-based squad. That has to change. MacDonald and the board must never again be wide open to five senior members of the football staff leaving when the manager goes. It has wiped them out. Here is the opportunity to put a framework for coaching and scouting in place that stays in place no matter who the manager might be and who he brings with him. If Lerner is not going to provide substantial amounts of money in the future, then the club finding their own players would fit in with that edict and would make Villa stronger. I would like that.

Anyone seen Treme yet? Any good?

Why not we have a better team!

What odds can you get on Houllier?

General, Do we still need to sell to buy in January?

Steve Marlet was pretty bad.

How have the interviews gone so far General?

A shocking window. But what can u do. Let's get behind the lads and hopefully we can have a good run till January.
