Moyes would be an amazing acquisition and should have been with us pre Lambert.
Pearson would be a no nonsense manager, not afraid to give some home truths.
Are we sure that Sherwood is on his way?
Should never have been signed; panic choice to appease the fans, us.
The board must ensure that the next manager is the real deal or they should all go away.
AVFC is a laughing stock to other fans and this must stop if only to save Lerners face and hasten a new owner.

Totally agree regarding Moyes, think we should have nabbed him before he headed to Spain, don't think we'd have gotten him any time before that, couldn't see him leaving Everton for anyone except Man U.
Think Pearson would have short term effect, but wouldn't last long at Villa you have to keep your mouth shut about all the shi* that goes on at board level and I don't think he could do that.

Pretty much sums up my feelings too, I would only add that I don't have too much faith in this happening. Almost every staff appointment made at AVFC since Doug Ellis left has been a disaster or they've been Mr Invisible, just another name drawing a wage.

I would also add that if a sufficient(not someone as a short term gap) replacement cannot be found, then there is no point in sacking Sherwood for sackings sake, only to replace him with another waste of time we have to sack again in 12 months time. The appointment must be the right one, or none at all.
The serious truth is the only really position at Aston Villa that needs changing with any real PANIC is the ownership.
With no interest, no ambition, no direction and zero leadership shown from the the board, what is the point in even having a manager or even a team?
If you are still unsure what I am talking about, re watch the FA CUP final (if you can) and you'll see the problem a few times, laughing and joking completely disinterested while his "beloved" team are torn to shreds.
