In Topic: Alex Mcleish Has Been Sacked By Aston Villa

This needed to happen. Really amazing he ever got appointed - so much for the "glowing endorsement" from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Who are we going to appoint in his place?

Brendan Rodgers or Roberto Martinez are my preferred choices.

Paul Lambert is too close to Martin O'Neill for my liking. Considers him something of an inspiration. I think Villa need to get away from the O'Neill era. Also unlike Brendan Rodgers, Lambert hasn't made any amazing signings.

Rodgers bought Michel Vorm for £1.5m, Danny Graham for £3.5m (he scored 12 goals this season), and got the loan signing of Glyffi Siggurdson. That's some scouting!

Brendan Rodgers is a great coach (once headhunted for Chelsea by Mourinho), a scholar of the game, is only 39, and if we get him now he could use Villa as a launchpad to manage Barcelona later. More I think of it he is actually my first choice.

Thanks for the replies John and WS! I'll look through the links when I get some time and the weather changes.

Thanks for the link and the explanation. I'm not sure if I'm going to get my head around dry adiabatic lapse rates and such without actually working through examples, but it's fun, and a start, to learn how to read the temperature - and apply it. Sort of, bearing in mind these are forecasts and not highly accurate.

Monday 400-500mb - short / dissipating contrails

Don't know what to make of that yet... need some more observations. Eventually the errors may even out and a pattern may emerge.
