This is starting to feel like a transfer window under the previous manager. Soon we will just be grateful with whoever is given the job. Today, the speculation surrounds Gérard Houllier and this peaked my interest.
It peaked, because normally I would dismiss a 'Director of Football' role because you normally associate it, okay I normally associate it with, two people coming together that really shouldn't come together, but we have a potential different scenario at Aston Villa.

There is a rumour doing the rounds that former Charlton and West Ham manager Alan Curbishley is 'in the frame' to become the next Aston Villa manager. Don't worry, it won't happen.
We know who will be the next manager of Aston Villa for the reasons we told you. So there is no need to get all flustered - the club are not going to appoint a manager with a Premier League win record worse than the previous incumbent.

It would be easy to be a little angry at what has happened the past few weeks and if some of you come on here cursing Lerner, that is your right. I mean, if you were to think that if you take away the free scarves, the mountain of debt and the coach travel, that there really isn't much of a difference, I wouldn't blame you. I mean, he isn't even a football man.
But, what can we do about it? We can start another petition and we can call for roots and branch change and we can gather forces and walk on Villa Park - but none of that is going to attract a buyer, it is merely going to attract an opportunist. What we need to do, is hope that Randy Lerner sees the light and remembers why he got involved in Aston Villa in the first place.

You'd have to be very naive to publicly put your name forward for a job, that you have been doing for a while, not knowing you were going to get the job, which is why I think we have to accept and embrace that Kevin MacDonald is the new manager of Aston Villa.
And you know what, not having done any research, I can't think of a better man for the job either. I'm happy because he ticks most of the boxes I would have want ticked.

Under the current climate, it really doesn't matter how Aston Villa win as long as we win and get as many points as possible.
So, I'm quite happy with beating Everton 1-0. In fact, I'm extremely happy and Kevin MacDonald has done himself proud since taking over. He should pat himself on the back, expect quite a large bonus at Christmas and be ready the next time he is needed, because unless we are bringing in Jose Mourinho from Real Madrid or Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger or Carlo Ancelotti is going to walk out on their current club, I suspect he might be needed again quite soon.

We have to wait until next month for our next football match so I guess the talk will be about the win against Everton or the PR statement released by the club yesterday, which when I must admit, did make me chuckle.
Now, I know what I am about to write will annoy some so take this as your warning, if you are easily offended or annoyed, then leave this page now. I will say however that it will mostly annoy those that don't want to believe there is anything wrong or those that are basically still playing catch up. I might also be wrong, but after what the club have said about appointing a manager with Premier League experience, I shake my head and wonder.

Well, I have a lot to say about today, but I think I'll save it for later as I've had just enough to drink that means I want more, but it does feel good doesn't it?
We are three games into the season and we are currently in fourth place, above the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Spurs - what do we have to complain about?

In a few hours we welcome Everton to Villa Park and you know what, we need three points today and if we get three points today, hopefully all will be good.
If we don't and you'll get good odds on us not getting three points today - I fear there could be a backlash.

Someone left a comment the other day saying that the club had imploded. Not that the club was imploding or that it might happen, but that it actually had happened. At the time I laughed and even if I think about it now, I still chuckle to myself.
It is the perfect example of what happens when we lose a game; panic. Mad hysteria because we do not have a manager and because we might not finish sixth. Quick run around and get me a brown bag, I think I'm hyperventilating. Maybe it's a heart attack. We've imploded. My life is over.

I've had three beers watching the football and I am a little annoyed at some of the comments I have seen here on this site, as well as others and on Twitter and I'm going to tell you why.
Martin O'Neill quit the club five days before the season started, which most have to accept, was a bit of a shock. Kevin MacDonald was asked to stand in and he did. He hasn't asked for the job and in his defence, he has acted professionally at all times and has never said that he actually wants the job full time either.
