Yes please! (apologies I must of misread). But the question still demeans the monumental achievement of galvanizing a club to win its first Div. 1 title in about 70 years and going on to win the highest club honour available. It's arguable that the only reason anyone (especially us) call ourselves a big club at all is down to Ron Saunders. It's certainly not all the titles we won in the 1800's, or the foresight of the brilliant William McGregor. To answer the question, if Unai Emery managed to bag us a title and put everything in place for us to go on and win the European cup (in the same circumstances as before) for the second time, yes, I would consider naming a stand after him.

A fair point, but McGregor already has honourable recognition by way of a statue, and there's more romance involved with Saunders, and it's a little cold and neglectful to say he 'only' produced a league title. All the players and even Barton attributed our finest achievement to Ron Saunders. Quite rightly. His legacy would be complete with the renaming and it would be an overwhelmingly popular choice.

Is Ugo really a Villa legend? Didn't he also go the Middlesborough way? Who next; the Gareth Southgate section??

Love this. Would love it to happen.

Agreed with every word of this and and was hovering over the like button until I came to the final two words. I often wonder why the very clear and definite 'in future' / 'in the future' was seen as so hopelessly ambiguous that it needed an upgrade...

Same as Conor Coady. Made absolutely no sense to let these players go.

Really looking forward to watching Cash and Poland, more so than watching England (are Villa fans unique in this feeling? - might take this Q to the world cup thread) .

The beginning of the end. So needless and stupid.

Worth mentioning that SJM never once complained about being played out of position on such a regular basis.

Jesus this blokes quickly becoming the new God (Paul McGrath) in my book.

Martinez to win WC, comes back to take up captain's armband... who would argue with that.. what a way to start the new era.

Well, now I really REALLY want Argentina to do it!

A world cup winning Villa player! Has this happened before?

Up to the dizzy heights of 12th!

Just going to keep putting this in here: absolutely love it.

You can't??

I love it!

Young injured.

Imagine coming up with a formation that actually suited the players at your disposal!? Can't decide whether it takes experience, talent, or lack of ego to be able to see so clearly, or maybe all 3.

That's Talk Sport for you.

Completely agree. Got no animosity toward Ellis, but it feels time to honour what is probably our most important manager.

Sounds frustrated to me. Actually warmed to him more reading that.

Um, yes. I believe that we know. No matter our various age on here. We definitely know.

Can we all stop dissing the star! It matters, so it stays.

Excellent (and obvious) choice as captain! Similar to Kasper Schmiechel at Leicester in importance and obvious clout in the team.
