CARETAKER Kevin MacDonald hinted that his future might lie away from Villa after suffering a demoralising defeat in his first match since being overlooked for the top job.

Two late Stoke goals inflicted a 2-1 loss and added to the disappointment of MacDonald who has turned down the chance to become Gerard Houllier’s assistant boss.

And the Scottish coach admits he has a decision to make over whether he returns to Villa’s reserves or seeks a management position elsewhere.

“I put my name in for the job and once I did that I knew I’d be disappointed if I didn’t get it,” said MacDonald.

“I’ve got a decision on whether to go back to the reserves, I need to re-evaluate that. I’m doing things for me.
