Whatever is happening, it's just more another PR disaster, especially as it's timed just after Hollis' letter. 

That second let is amazingly damming to Lerner. Sadly, I also think it means a sale isn't close and that Lerner refuses to budge.

That letter can be interpreted in many ways.

I'll be pissed off if the players are being arseholes and won't change.

I doubt it is the players, most won't be here next season.

Maybe not but for me I would really want someone who genuines cares for the club and is motivated by the fact it is Aston Villa and buying into the club,  not just someone after a paycheck.  I think the club has lost a lot of connection with the fan base and is distant and I would like that restored.  I think having that feeling for the club right now is important.

The obvious way to restore the connection between fans and club is success on the pitch and that is all that will ultimately be cared about (the appointment alone would begin this). I also see Moyes as a pretty genuine guy who certainly isn't afraid of a challenge. He may be motivated by his own interests (restoring his reputation/challenge) but so would 99% of other managers, that's the way it is. 

If the best man for the job wants it, we should make our best possible efforts to get him. 

The possibility of Moyes being our manager has given me my first sense of optimism for the club since this debacle of a season. For me, he is way ahead of any of the managers we have been linked with; Rowett unproven, Pearson erratic and Bruce uninspiring. 

If it is true and Moyes is interested, I'd be really annoyed if we don't pull out the stops to get him, as I always felt it would be the other way round and Moyes wouldn't want to come here. We need stability and Moyes is a manager I could see staying for more than 2 seasons. We need experience and Moyes has it at different levels, with big clubs whom have high expectations. We need discipline and he has always had that sense of authority (scary eyes). We need enthusiasm and I think the appointment would really shock fans if it happened, that we could attract someone of that level in our current state.   

The thought of a Bruce or Pearson is depressing, it screams no ambition that we have become accustomed too.

I would have put Bacuna on the left to help Amavi out as N'Zogbia was originally on the right and doing well. 

Garde out. 

Veretout looked far better in tighter areas than Westwood does (go on, post that Mick McCarthy gif). He also carries the ball far more, committing people and creating space. I don't hate Westwood but I do find him very frustration, he is too eager to take the easy option and his passing is quite poor under pressure. 

Massive props to the three in midfield today, hope it continues. 

Can you please remove Delph from your display picture please.

Cheers! Let's hope there will be a few he has a say on in January. 

Did he say anything interesting in the press conference today? The only quotes I've seen were about the players speaking French/English again but I wondered if he covered anything else?

I think eventually that Gil and Grealish could work well in the same team but at the moment, the latter needs dropping and being replaced by Gil. Just give him the free role, get him on the ball as much as possible and he will create more than anyone. 

It's good that you are so sure. Maybe don't go quite as far as your house but you could put some decent money on it and at least make a few quid. 

I certainly agree that he needs to be starting, relieved he is starting to come good. 

I still believe it won't take a miracle for us to start climbing up the table. We have lost every game bar two by a 1 goal margin and that is while playing unbelievably bad tactically. Most are in agreement that we haven't consistently played our best players, we really could be a very different team than the one playing in the last few games, both in terms of personnel and performance. 

Always been impressed by his work rate, glad he is showing some good ability too. Really happy both Gil and himself impressed with the new manager watching. It's hard to know where to play him as he did look very good on the left but I think we are so short up top that I'd opt for him there. 

I think he'll end up our top scorer this season (which probably won't be too challenging). 

The comments about his attitude are interesting but I've noticed he is always visibly annoyed with himself when he gives the ball away or does something wrong, that does at least show that he cares. 

It's funny how the majority of people wrote Ayew off after his first few games and now he is a 'must starter'. 

If we turn this season around I have no doubt getting the best out of Jack will have a big effect on that. 

He's better than this post. 

Some really harsh comments, Gil is clearly way ahead at the moment but the potential of Jack is clear to see. 

Hope he could get some confidence soon and raise his game. 

I can take heart from how we finished that game. 

I'm so pleased that Gil and Ayew had such a positive impression on the game that Garde could see. Gil is way ahead of Grealish at the moment. 

I really hope he will also put the end to the shambles that is Gabby. 

We are so lucky to only be 4 points from safety and we will improve. Good luck Garde.

Lambert and £100m. 

Actually, Ellis and Lambert for £200m. 

Wait, It gets better, Ellis, Lambert and N'Zogbia signs a new 4 year contract for all the millions. 

Electro states that French managers have a bad record in the Premier League so offers some non French alternatives. 

Trent sarcastically but correctly states that although Poyet is not French, he is abysmal and poos in dressing rooms. 

I really had hoped I edited that before anyone saw....

Even if we have enquired about Moyes, what makes you think he would come?

But he isn't available and said he wants to stay at Real Sociedad.
