I'm about as excited about the prospect of Pellegrini as I was in the summer which is not at all. If and when Hodgson goes I think it has to be Kenny to step in to allow the club to make a proper and exhaustive search for a new manager in the off-season. You're never going to poach a top manager mid-season which would leave you with the likes of Mon and Riikjard as your only options. It needs to be in the summer if we're to go out and get someone of true pedigree like a Van Gaal or a Guss Hiddink.

I think we need to realise we aren't going to get a top class manager - ones like Van Gaal or Hiddink aren't going to come to us - its the next level of managers we will be looking at - Pellegrini has a very good track record and has experience of building a team up .

Then you're sights for this club are too low mate. I understand why the big guns wouldn't want to touch us with the debt and the ownership issues but things have changed or did I miss something? Obviously we will have to be able to pay top dollar for a new man and no doubt give him some assurances so far as transfers funding goes. Do you really think we are a 2nd rate proposition? Even with the new ownership?

well first of all, Rijkaard without Ten Cate is like Rafa without Paco - horrible. as much as Rijkaard's CV is admirable, he achieved it with a club of superstars. MON on the other hand, has gradually turned Villa into top 4 contenders.

his player spotting ability is also pretty impressive considering the number of good English youngsters at Villa currently and also players such as Young and Agbonlahor were good spots.

furthermore, the Barry saga impressed me as many times over the years we have seen our players leave on the cheap. MON was incredibly stubborn and refused to accept a penny less which is good for any club.

last season, Villa beat all of the top 4 teams(including us) except Arsenal which is a great achievement considering the supposed limited resources he had. im just afraid with Rijkaard, we might here excuses such as "needing time to settle in" or something like that.
