If O'Neill left in May or stayed on we would be in a far better position than we are as we would of got a new good manager or we would still have O Neill in charge,
If O'Neill left in May we could of got Mark Hughes and everything would of been alright. I think O Neill left at that time to unsettle the club.
All of problems stem from O'Neill leaving, he left with no decent managers available and only 5 days before the season started. You cant blame Lerner as he needs to make sure he is making the right choice and it cant be easy for the players not knowing who will be in charge.
Reminds me of the lineup MON used to play when he only had Ash as a senior winger- I like it if Mac plays it like that, like it a little less if he's playing Nige as a right winger.
Thats why i did that formation with a 3 in the centre mid and Ash in the free role
You cant call a manager who has won 18 major titles including 7 German League Titles and two Champions League boring. I dont care what football we play as long as it works.
The thing with hiring a A list manager undoing the previous 4 years progress. Is to do with the new manager selling all the players and buy a whole new squad, which we dont need. I would hate a new man coming in and selling all or better youngsters.
I was expecting this, Dunne is suspended a ban which he picked up 2 years ago in the Europe League, Gabby, Collins, Delph and Cuellar as injured.
It is only Stiliyan Petrov, Ashley Young, Luke Young, John Carew and Steven Sidwell that have been left behind from our first team.
Kevin MacDonald, Bob Bradley and Sven Goran Eriksson all 9/4 joint favourites to be next Villa manager with SkyBet.

And in all honesty I do not have any major problem with any of them and if anyone of them becomes manager they will get my full support.
If a manger is named before September 1st they will have money to spend as why do it when you can wait till September.
I think if you win a shootout you get 2 points and draw you get 1 point. If a team is level on points at the end of the cup then it goes to the shootout points. Then proberbly GD and Goals Scored.
Penalties are part of the Guadiana Cup after each match in case of no clear winner at the end of the tournament.
I think if Benfica won their shootout yesterday and beacsue we drew ours 4-4 then a draw tommorow will see Benfica win. Obviously a winner tommorow will win the whole thing.
