A visiting Liverpool fan and I often drop in on other forums to see what's happening - you see, I'm one of those football fans that is dedicated to my club, but also has a wider interest in the game.
Hence my poking my nose into the staggering shambles and grief that is currently Aston Villa.

I can't believe a man with so much business sense (Randy Lerner) can make such a monumental cock-up of appointing a new manager. I deride the idea of Alex McCleish joining you (despite Alan Brazil bigging him up - as he does with every mate!) as he is not top class. Yeh, he won the title with Rangers, but in a two horse race each year, what are the odds on anyone failing? Even that serial loser with the appalling dentures (and friend of Brazil) George Burley could have won the SPL title!

Now, here's the bit where some of you Villa fans will have a go at me, but I need to make my point. AVFC is a very big club; a very big club, but these days not in the same category as MUFC, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal or MCFC. We never like to hear that about our club, but it is true. You are on a par with say Spurs, but they are similar to you in not really winning anything big for years. The one thing you do have over the London clubs is that you were once European Champions and that's to be respected.

The trouble you have in 2011 is that outside of the Midlands, AVFC is seen as a mid-table club. I think I would accept that Martin O'Neill was right to be let go, but then you lost the plot in replacing him. NOW . . you have panicked and made what many fans will consider a real disaster selection in McCleish.

Your biggest mistake was in rebelling against the idea of Stev McClaren as manager. The tabloids did a good (sic) hatchet job on the man, but he remains a skilled manager and admirable coach. He worked wonders in the Eredivisie with FC Twente and would have made Wolfsburg a strong side if he had been allowed more time. He was a flop at England, but the weight of expectation was too much for a younger manager. Despite that, he has skills and contacts that would have made him an ideal choice for Aston Villa. I think you will come to regret that. The Sun's "Wally in a brolly" was just a cheap headline and name calling and personal slurs should be avoided when considering a man's pedigree in the coaching and managerial arena.

Many Liverpool fans will have soft spot for AVFC as a member of that exclusive club, a team winning the European Cup. What they will also be saying is that the Villa fans have been at times rude and arrogant about others and about the heights the club can reach. You don't have the money to compete with the big 5 and you will not have a manager with a reputation like Wenger's or Dalglish to attract the really big stars. You are a middle table team and under the new Scotsman, you might be lucky to cling onto that position! That for me will be a real shame.

Glad i am a forest fan. McClaren will turn Mcgugan from a good player into an outstanding one.

Agree0 Disagree0

Being realistic i know Villa are a top 10 team and compete for european football and domestic silverware. but Liverpool also need to realise the reason your wasting all this money on inflated transfers is cause your owners want you to get back into the top 4 which prob won't happen and if were being realistic theres the top 3 fighting for the title manu chelsea and city then arsenal and liverpool fighting for 4th then spurs everton and villa fighting for uefa places.

In all fairness i don't care if Mcleish gets the job he's won silverware with hibs which got him the rangers job and won silverware with brum who should of never beat arsenal but did if he can do the same at villa i'll be happy

Lets see what happens when Mcleish has a owner behind him who will happly give him 40m plus for transfers which is what randy has been doing

Agree0 Disagree0

Typical reaction: the tenet of the discussion was NOT about Liverpool, but you felt it necessary to have a little dig at LFC. Well if it takes your mind of the embarrassment of ebing an AVFC becuase of this laughable event, then I can live with that. It was a LFC fan trying to be supportive, but I suppose when you've been deluded for ages into believing you are the biggest club (in the Midlands) it is only natural you will want to lash out at anyone.

Agree0 Disagree0

A lfc fan trying to be supportive have you read all of your message i suppose you can't take the truth back then hey Villa fans know were the biggest club in the midlands and were not deluded thinking were a top 4 team which were obviously not i bet as a lfc fan your deluded enough to think you have a chance of winning the league next cause of "king Kenny" give me a break.
And whoever does become Villa's new manager will have my support been supporting them 30 years seen some good managers and some rubbish ones but still a villa fan till i die

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey mate the original poster was talking sense. Villa till you die? I guess it'll be a blessing to die rather than be a Villa fan these days! You aint a big club, except in the Midlands. To even think you were anywhere near LFC is laughable. You couldn't find anyone decent who wnated to be your manager and now you're gonna be stuck with a rival's manager, a bloke who took them down and this is all you think yu nee? KK wouldn't even use him to coach our U17s! Deluded fans, sh*it club and less trophies than Katie Price has got for horse jumping!

ok , lets look at this logically, firstly i follow villa the last 44 yrs, mc leish is being touted in some quarters as being a good manager who managed on limited funds, and got bcfc into europe via c cup.also his record as rangers boss brought success, REALITY CHECK. . . . . . . . . . . . . if rangers , celtic and anyother spl team were in the premier league theyd be relegated in their first season, the man has got bcfc relegated twice. . . . , and is not wanted at our club by the villa fans who shell out their hard earned cash week in week out in these tough economic times, im lookin beyond the villa bcfc rivalry here, if and rightly so lerner and co did a u turn on mc clarens appointment through the opinion of us villa fans.then why does he seek to appoint this man, i think at this stage he doesn't give a damn about the club or football in fact.randy do the decent thing and listen to the people that make our club great OUR SUPPORTERS. . , YOUVE HAD A LUCKY ESCAPE ON THE MC CLAREN U TURN, BUT APPOINT MC LEISH AND SEE HOW MUCH THE FANS WILL TURN AGAINST U
