It's top-down with a fixed camera much like a strategy game but you only control one character. Medieval setting with loads of demons. It's basically all the items that keep players interested.

Sounds good but I don't really like playing games on the computer except for FM, plus I only have a rather slow Mac laptop. Looks like I'll never know its wonders.

It's a click spamming, loot whoring, top down dungeon crawler. Good it is, but some people are shitting themselves over it.

Same. I remember my friends playing Diablo 2 for days, I always hated the game, found it very boring. I can understand the appeal of it now but I'm just not excited for it.

Whilst Lambert or Martinez would no doubt be an improvement, I'd like to bring someone in from the continent. At least, has a continental (read: different to what we've had to endure this past year) approach to setting up a team.

There are plenty of sacked managers I would gladly welcome; Van Gaal. AVB. Ranieri. Benitez.

Why not at least ask them?

I agree. Unlikely they would take it (especially in Van Gaal's case) but there's no harm in trying. Thing is, with Lerner cutting costs drastically, reckon he'll renege on that to get a top manager?

I always assumed Villa were in a decent financial position; they produce a lot of their own players and have sold Young, Milner and Downing for big money. I don't how these clubs get themselves into so much trouble; one can only assume it's the wages?

Yep. He's seen the price you pay for having a "cheap" manager who is fine with cutting costs - you end up losing on the field and revenue via the fans.

We need someone who can motivate and improve our scouting network. It's a shame Houllier was ill.

If I were Benitez, I would not take the Villa job purely because I had already been rejected by them, in favour of Alex McLeish.

But what is it that makes you think he has the ability to improve your league position?

His signings have ultimately all proven to be flops (so you can't really expect him to make a decisive signing that is going to transform your team), he has proven to be tactically inept in this modern game, and there is only so much his status as a "club legend" can do to motivate the team.

Realistically, where do you expect to finish next season under Kenny?
I think we'll do better next season in the league. We have to, the players we have aren't great, but they're better than they've shown this season. Hopefully Lucas will be close to his previous form when he comes back, and he's one of our most imoportant players, and the player with the hugest gap between him and his replacement, as was painfully evident in the FA Cup final.

But while I think we'll be better next season, I still don;t think we'll be good enough, especially considering the fuck-up that this transfer window is likely to be, even more-so with Kenny at the helm. I think we'll be out of the race for 4th by February, and end up 6th or so, which would lead to an even worse summer and leave us even further from 4th by August 2013 as our decent players finally run out of patience.

I am so happy. Might be a good bloke but it wasnt a fit.

I REALLY want us to get an exciting attacking manager this time who understands possession style football.

Really worried if we get a plodder who is a "safe" pair of hands.

Haha, perhaps not Megson then.

Villa are in an interesting position. If they suddenly decide they want to start backing managers with the cash necessary to turn them back into a decent side then it'll be interesting to see who they appoint. If this seasons struggle and continued lack of investment is going to be the status quo then there are a ton of managers out there who would be a worse appointment than Megson.

"The FA has today [Monday 14 May] charged Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton in relation to two acts of alleged violent conduct during Sunday’s match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Following the player’s dismissal in the 54th minute of the fixture, there followed two incidents involving Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany. As Barton had already been dismissed, both of these incidents fell outside of the jurisdiction of the referee.

Barton has until 6pm on Tuesday 15 May to respond to the charges."

I think my dream scenario is Andre Villa-Boas. Even more than getting Pep. I'd also welcome interest from any of the guys you've listed. I don't think Martinez or Lambert would be bad choices though, but considering we just endured McLeish, just about anyone would be an upgrade. Can we get Clough?

I think Houllier would have come good if he didn't need to depart because of his health. I liked what he was doing even if the players were resisting. Getting a manager from the continent would probably help with improving our scouting network. Does Holman have the option to back out of the transfer now that McLeish is gone? I did think he would help our team.
