Kevin MacDonald has no idea where he stands with Aston Villa boss Gerard Houllier.
The Daily Star says the loyal Scot, pipped for the manager's job by Houllier, now faces an anxious wait to see if and where he figures in the new regime.
The former Liverpool boss is bringing in his influential French lieutenant Patrice Bergues to work alongside him, leaving MacDonald awaiting further instructions on just where he fits in.
