Graham Taylor is obviously out of touch with us fans. If McClaren is appointed there will be a riot &n i for one will want a refund on my season ticket. I can see ihim noe being intervied putting on a fake Brummie accent.

NO! if this idiot even becomes a cleaner at Villa Park i will not wear a Villa jersey. Thanks to Houllier so much damage has been done and don’t need McClaren to make things worse. Villa have so much good history but lately we’ve had too many bad times. Hope Mr. Learner start’s listening to the fan’s for once.

If mcClaren gets the job I will no longer support them! I’ve been a season ticket holder for 5 years, and we should be going for David moyes or ancolotti!! They may cost some money but you have to spend big money to win things I’m afraid. McClaren is a good coach but not a good manager! If mr learner goes with him then I can see mist villa fans asking for him to leave. Quite strong comment but we need someone that has proven in the premier league.

Up the villa

I bet it will be McClaren, uuuugh Randy Lerner really doesn’t know what hes doing, appointing Houiller before last season was the wrong option, and now if he gets McClaren i to will lose faith in Villa, Lerner needs to check out that poll i saw that had 0% support for McClaren, why aren’t we going after Mark Hughes?!?!

Don’t give him the chance. Someone with a GOOD record please.

Ancelotti, Rijkaard, Benitez, Klinsmann. All free agents, all keen to manage in the premier league.

Failing that, Coyle, Martinez both good young managers already in the premier league, both play good football.

God, as a Villa fan of 50 years I still don’t understand the other fans. McLaren is a bloody good manager who even managed to win a cup with poxy Boro. He brought youngsters through, got them to punch above their weight in Europe and did a good job in the England setup until he made the mistake of taking on the most thankless task in football under the FA. Then he took Twente to their first championship ever! He was trained by Fergie who didn’t want to lose him as an assistant and given some time would probably do a great job for Villa.
Like Houllier, McLaren would be a long-term choice who could bring youngsters through and get us punching above our weight, Randy isn’t a Russian or Arab oilman you know! Of course our fickle fans wouldn’t give him the chance. How long did it take Ron Saunders? You lot deserve some thick skinned numpty like Hughes who’d leave as soon as Spurs or the Sky Four come calling.

Randy’s credability is on the line with this one,he’s already made one crap appointment,he’d better get this one right !
On a lighter note McLaren must have the silliest haircut since Bobby Charlton !

I think Schteve Mclarrrren Would be a great asset to the Premier league … Well at least for all the other clubs he would. Villa need him, AVFC is run by a Yank who ain’t got aclue. They only look after corporate a Villa Park .. not the real fans… Come on randy sign him up soon. Lets all have a laugh

he would be great

Charlie, it doesn’t seem that long since Middlesbrough fans were throwing their season tickets at McClaren.
Yes he won the League Cup, but he spent a fortune, and they were relegated not long after he left.
I was against his appointment as England manager, but then, when he got the job, I did think he showed some courage in dropping Beckham. But then, as soon as he was under pressure, he backed down and brought Beckham back. A sign of a truly weak manager.
If I was to name the three people I would like to manage Villa, McClaren and Roberto Martinez would be in there.
The third member? Avram Grant.
No, no and no.
Why don’t we go for an up-and-coming manager? Somebody like Owen Coyle, for example?
