Banned for making me go in a football thread. (And the abusive behaviour and being a obvious returner and all...)

We call that a straight red 'round these parts.

While you're here, who do you think should be Villa manager?

Would genuinely love to see Richard Madeley manage a football team.

Engaging with Chest about reality tv in the football thread. This is the end of the UKFF.

It's like Stew Allen from the grave.

You can all stop wondering now.

The major alarm bell over appointing Steven Gerrard for me is that he'd drop your club at any sign of a phone call from Anfield.

It's Aston Villa. So would anyone!

To be honest, he's going to have to prove himself in the Premier League before he has any chance of that phone call, so he may be what Villa need for a few years.

Showing my age now, but I've always considered Villa to be the powerhouse of the midands tbh. I may be misguided but forever think of them as a huge club.

They are a big club. I'm not belittling them at all. But we have several mega-clubs these days, Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and Wrexham and no-one is turning them down.

There's a plod in the black country clenching his fists at the disrespect you're both showing to the 3rd biggest club in the world.

Fair play to Steven Gerrard. Could’ve stayed at Rangers, challenged for trophies and managed in Europe but chose the tougher option of trying to keep Villa in the Premier League. Liverpool will also get a better idea of whether he’s capable of managing in the English Premier League.

[tiger_rick]

The whole Liverpool thing is over-played. If he was just waiting around for that job, he'd have stayed at Rangers. This is a massive gamble because it will make or break his reputation. He wouldn't take that gamble if he was just Liverpool manager in waiting.
