Petrov: SuperMac deserves the Villa job

ASTON VILLA captain Stiliyan Petrov has urged the club’s American owner Randy Lerner to appoint Kevin MacDonald as the full-time replacement for Martin O’Neill.

MacDonald took over as caretaker manager after O’Neill’s shock resignation and he made the perfect start with Saturday’s 3-0 destruction of West Ham.

The Scot, who briefly held the caretaker role at Leicester in 1994 before following Brian Little to Villa, has said he is not a big enough name for the job.
