MacDonald: Nothing has changed
Aston Villa caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald insisted the 6-0 hammering at Newcastle did not affect his hopes of winning the job on a permanent basis.
Andy Carroll scored a hat-trick, Kevin Nolan claimed a brace and Joey Barton was also on target as Villa were heavily beaten by the rampant Magpies.
Yet MacDonald said: "I don't think it changes my views at the moment, and my views are that maybe by the end of next week when we have finished all those games, I will be able to sit down and think is it what I want to do or is it not what I want to do?
"We have got a big game coming up on Thursday which we have got to get back up for to try to get into the Europa League.
"One or two of the young lads who have played three games in a week, maybe it was too much for them, so I will accept responsibility. It was me who chose the team."
