Kevin Keegan Ancelotti would be great for this club.

Is this some kind of formula? McClaren > Houllier > Benitez =

Ancelotti has to give us answer before monday. Lerner wants to find manager ASAP. That is good.

I think no one really knows who will come. But why are we always thinking of british manager or someone who has already manage english team? If we are really in big league, trying to get Ancelotti. Yes, why not Louis Van Gaal. Van Gaal would be good for Villa. Ottmar Hitzfeld. Highly qualified. Has manage to be Bayern Munchen manager. (n.b. Beckenbauer and Höness are part of the club.) Egil Olsen. Ok not one of the big names, but would be interesting. Has shown good result. Tactical manager. Lothar Matthaus. As player great, has shown he is a leader. Maybe not experience enough as manager. Otto Rehhagel. He is old, but what a name. He has all the skills we need. I would become a season ticket fan.

This is a great news. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/194304/Make-your-mind-up-Carlo-Ancelotti/ The only question is, does he want to come. If yes, it seems to me the deal is done. If not. Well, who wants to have manager who is not really willing to come. Ancelotti is high qualified, and he can say no. He don't need to say yes to prove to the world how good he is. That is good for us. If he join us, we know he is interested.

This is selling speech. He will go to Chelsea (and Manch. United in three years). So the agent talk about Spain and Italy to impress Chelsea. John Terry has spoken: Hiddink and Hughes are welcome.

1. We are not one of the top teams in this league. We are a long way off fourth. and now that liverplop are back on form, 6th is probably the best we hope for. 2. So it would be easy except for the fact that we need to sign a goalkeeper, a few defenders and a few midfielders? Half a team then?! Liverpool back on form? We finished the season higher up the form table than them. You'd do well not to listen to the nonsense and spin of the media. They don't big up Villa, they don't big up the City of Birmingham and they don't big up the Midlands. We spent the first century of our existence with more trophies than any other club in England. Tradition and history dictates we are one of THE great clubs. (I'd argue we are THE original giants and greatest club of the game.) Do yourself a favour and don't allow pundits in the media deflate your expectations and hopes for AVFC. Just because an ex-Liverpool player or know-nothing Cockney pundit says 'Pool are back does not make it so. They are rubbish and will crash and burn under the weight of nonsensical hype next season. It's interesting: when Liverpool finish sixth, they are on the way back, yet when Villa finish sixth we are also-rans...it's all about the spin of Scouse supporting pundits and journalists. Aston Villa, with all cyliders firing, is capable of destroying anything Merseyside can throw at them . The sooner some of our supporters actually show some belief in our club the better for all. Sorry but true. Liverpool is back, thanks to Chelsea. (F. Torres).

So it would be easy except for the fact that we need to sign a goalkeeper, a few defenders and a few midfielders? Half a team then?! We need one or two strikers. We need to score 2 goals in average. We just scored 48 last season or 1,26 goals. We need 70pts to be in fourth place. If we don't score, we cannot win the game. If we cannot win, we will never get 70pts. We make it too easy for the other team, if we cannot attack and score.

Hughes and Hiddink are in run to go to Chelsea. Is Jol bad choice? McClaren please no. Jol is not a bad choice, but I prefer bigger name.

Of the main contenders only Ancelotti would. Moyes would raise eyebrows but wouldnt raise as much expectation! Ancelotti would draw crowds that dwarf MON's imo. I think a lot of people want him, but don't actually think we could get him. If we do, well, it'll be street party time. .... It is high time to visit mekka, if Ancelotti comes. But, sorry I think this is true "but don't actually think we could get him"

Now it is Ancelotti? http://www.online-betting-guide.co.uk/news/18224803/Carlo+Ancelotti+Next+Aston+Villa+Manager+Odds+Gambled+On+As+Hughes+Interest+Cools.html

I just hope the three that voted for Mclown were not Lerner, Krulak and Faulkner

You are right and i am wrong, Houllier was not sacked. The fans have definately ambitions. I see it like this. It is not acceptable to be below 6th. I will see the club in top four.

Without any doubt. Ancelotti is great manager. But do you really think he will arrive to Villa Park? He costs, and do we have the money to get him and to buy outstanding players? Do the club have ambitions to be in top four? Why did we got Houllier? To create future team. But he is sacked after nine months. Is it possible that our goal is to create another future team? We had MON, we needed money to buy some players. MON didn't get the money. I think Ancelotti is too big for Villa. Sorry. (of course I will be happy if he comes. It would be statement -Villa wants to be in Champ. League-)

lol I posted wrong news, old news. But Hughes is better then Houllier.

Guardian - Mark Hughes. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/may/31/aston-villa-mark-hughes-gerard-houllier Aston Villa target Mark Hughes to replace Gérard Houllier as manager

Already,

Here are the odds http://www.thesackrace.com/teams/aston-villa/

er...what? :? I think he's affected by the volcano, he's been sniffing the ash cloud Maybe its the ash. I never said he is the best choice, just it is my dream. Maybe my dream is your nightmare

I woted for moyes, but is poyet not interesting choice. Ancelotti has best record, is he really interesting to come? Deschamps, Benitez or Mclaren omg, NO. Personally, it would be my dream to see Keegan at Villa Park. But what about Christoph Daum? He has c.a. 60% winning record. That is around 70pts. I believe C.D. could find great player, for good price, from germany. Christoph Daum need a second chance to become great again.

Well last season we had one of the best defence. Well if I want to watch comedy I can choose Benny Hill Monty Python Aston Villa Well next joke is probably Houllier out, Benitez in!

If we play 10-0-0, Everton cannot score. Villa - Everton 0-0

No I was talking about the idea of euorpean league. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool etc would play in this league not in premier league. R.Madrid, Barca etc will play in this legue too but not in Primera Divison.

I would be happy if the best teams will play in special european league.
