Hi. Lifelong Villa fan from Leicester. Struggle to go to many games due to lack of funds and being busy playing rugby every Saturday. Last game I think I went to was Hereford at home in the league cup a couple of years ago. Best Villa game I can remember/have been to was the 6-4 against Blackburn in the League Cup Semi Final.
With the current managerial situation I want to join in on the discussion.
New manager

I don't think for a second he's in the running but I think Eusebio Di Francesco from Sassuolo would be a good appointment. He got Sassuolo promoted to Serie A and then got sacked and reinstated and kept them up last season. Now they're 12th in Serie A and by the looks of their results they are capable of scoring some goals and playing some attractive football (apart from a 7-0 Tw@ing at the hands of Inter in September).
Obviously he's not a big name (I had to search to see who is manager of Sassuolo), but he's a young, exciting, "continental" manager with a proven ability to keep teams up and push them on, and with a club much smaller than ours. One downside is he probably doesn't speak English (but that didn't hold pochettino back).
Maybe not the quick fix we're after right now but definitely a decent long term prospect IMO.
