I bet they still wouldn't want him.

Villa fans deserve all this, for scoffing and mocking at the idea of Benitez getting the manager's job.

They didnt want Rafa and now they're finding out how stupid that was.

They'd be safely in the top half now if he was manager, probably competing for a Europa League spot.

With that said, they'd probably not be happy with that either.

Did they mock Rafa? I thought they wanted him?

[Kenneth]

Either way, they obviously all felt the same way.

But none of them wanted McLeish.

Shaggy and I were reading a Villa forum where, aside from 2 or 3 posters, the rest were all vehemently against the idea of Rafa getting the job, they were scoffing at how **** he is and turning their noses up at the idea of him getting the job of managing the 'mighty' Villa

[Shaggy]

Yep, literally a couple of them in a very long thread. The rest belittled him and laughed at the idea. Same in my experience on Twitter, they were all like "if we give that cunt a job I'm ripping up my season ticket".

And yet they plumped for McLeish a proven winner

I seriously hope he takes them down!

maybe rafa wouldnt go there having to operate on a tight budget, or the owner wouldnt take him with all the spending plans rafa would have been insisting on. reckon the owner went for mcleish hoping he could just keep them ticking over mid-table, but without too much expenditure [after o'neill went shopping].

Yea so do I now. They can look forward to the 'Second City Derby' in the championship.

They had a poll there on whom they prefer as the next manager, Rafa had like 3 votes. Hughes, Coyle, all had greater than 50

[Shaggy]

It's absolutely mind-boggling
