19 May 2012 18:21:39 Fat boy Faulkner has said no Director of Football, but that is a real oversight but the real issue is the smoke and mirrors to hide the lack of financial muscle to even be in the top 10.
19 May 2012 13:16:20 We have not a bean to build a team, we don't have any ambition to compete Lerner just wants the mega bucks that comes with being in the premiership. Thats not true. Seems odd that within a space of a year, 2 young up and coming managers have had an opportunity to manage at a much bigger club, yet after talking with Lerner, have decided to stay where they are. It makes you wonder what he has been saying to them about the constraints they would have to work within. I fear the worst for us as a club unless we are taking over by someone with real financial muscle OGS says he'll honour his contract for the remaining 2 years Looks like you lot above have jumped the gun have you ever heard the saying don't believe everything the media say its come out that the media have got it wrong (no surprise) and that he's waiting to hear off villa for a second meeting if they want a second meeting with him support the club not slag the club off!! Think a little before you turn on the club Being concerned about your club and expressing it is a whole different thing to turning on your club
19 May 2012 13:14:33
19 May 2012 11:35:11 Norwich have denied villa permission to talk to Lambert, Norwich have been thrown into turmoil over Holt's transfer request which has been turned down he still has 2 years to run, Lambert only signed a new improved contract last summer, think we will have to look elsewhere, They will slap an enormouse great fee on Lambert and we know Lerner don't like handing out money for anything, lets face it our next manager will come from the ranks of the unemployed
19 May 2012 07:22:00 I.e Martinez already spoke with Villa (on Thursday) that is why he didn't have talks with the Kop.
19 May 2012 00:38:43 Have heard this myself, if he actually wants to work under Dave Whelen then good luck to him! - we can do better, Paul Lambert step on up!! Wigan an't bigger enough for him don;t worry he is as good as signed up
19 May 2012 00:03:45
18 May 2012 21:03:19 He will decline the invitation Another fan from another team checkin out the villa page. Jealous because their star striker has handed in a transfer request There will apparently be talks with Lambert come Monday and Martinez, for some strange reason, is still in the equation.
18 May 2012 20:48:08 Do you seriously think villa will sell petrov when he is fighting lukiemia?? Him i meant he wont be playing again.
18 May 2012 19:33:12
18 May 2012 18:49:44
18 May 2012 17:25:34 So why has he said that he hasn't even been formally interveiwed just had an informal chat SKY SPORTS NEWS
18 May 2012 12:34:38 Solskjaer has already held talks with Lerner and has returned to Norway.ssn
18 May 2012 11:17:17 This is the complete opposite of what I want, I don't want him to turn into a Steve Bruce signing all of Uniteds fringe players, and playing weakened teams when we play them to do them a favour. Besides he is completely untested as a manager, Norway doesn't seem all that competitive. Ok fair enough Norway isn't competitive but OGS won the league with his home town team giving them their first trophy in 100 years so he has some quality and if he can bring a dash of quality to villa then so be it and maybe he'll get villa playing for 93-95 mins rather than 80 as villa have been doing. I agree, we could get the likes of fabio, park, cleverley(maybe) on loan. Owen on a free, things are finally looking up ... give him a chance at least {Ed004's Note - I doubt you would get any of them. Cleverley will be a regular starter next season when he comes back fully fit, Fabio is going to Benfica and I can see Park staying or going abroad} He can only get 2 Owen on the other hand big sick note risk
18 May 2012 11:01:44 Michael owen is not wanted at villa,hes too injury prone and hes past it.............the bluenoses can sign him though
18 May 2012 08:18:46
18 May 2012 07:48:50
18 May 2012 07:36:47 Who are you're sources that seem to know what Villas defence will look like before a manager has been appointed? Park Ji Sung is one of the worst players in the league.
18 May 2012 03:15:22
18 May 2012 01:27:34 Doubt it about fabio, but owen would be a huge possibility Probably on loan. Its in all the norwegian papers today that randy lerner is in norway talking to solskjær. theres even a picture of lerners plane in norway. molde fk confirms aprouch from villa too. check out www.vg.no and translate. I dont know bout signings but i think it will be a good move bringing in OGS as he'd have links to loan Man u Youth players and sign some like Bruce and Keane have used these links. Good manager choice not happy with Fabio. Hope his signings are better than that
17 May 2012 18:42:51 Stop it ffs. Lambert is said to be re-shaping the Norwich team They wouldn't allow him to do anything like that if he was moving, take a look at sky, He released 5 players yesterday, Would Delia allow that to happen I think we'll get Sholskar
17 May 2012 16:17:41 I wholeheartedly agree. He was the wrong man, but as the backlash started before a ball was kicked he was simply never going to succeed. It's his appointment that is the real problem and those responsible should look long and hard at themselves. As frankly should several of the players, who continued to draw a hefty sallary, whilst playing like rubbish. McLeish has carried himself with dignity in the circumstances. Goodbye. I'm not sorry to see you go, but good luck in the future. Totally agree. Couldn't stand him as a manager or coach but as a bloke he seemed decent.....unlike O'neill who seems to have some kind of personality disorder Yeh, good luck to the man. He made a mess of the footballing side of things and came out from some daft comments to the press but kept his dignity so fair play. He was made a mug of by the board who spied a chance to grab a scapegoat extraordinaire! And so to the fans hang heads in shame you never intended to give him any backing even before he arrived, protest march all these protests were having effects on the players too, so take the blame for Villa's demise on your own chins, its you not the manager who fale'd
17 May 2012 08:32:58 Well Don't think it will be Lambert, take a look at thier web site www.canaries.co.uk he is busy with players contracts today,If he was about to jump ship he would not be anywhere near the club Would He Lambert not coming He's been busy today with player contracts, would Norwich allow this if he was about to leave
17 May 2012 02:58:54 With RL in Norway currently speaking to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, I can't see this happening. Lerner touched down in England today, I doubt he's away to Norway already.^^ I have a friend who lives in Norway and she confirms Oli is thought to be on his way to Villa, they could also be confused as he owns a massive Villa in the Mountains I posted that before I fully heard what is happening. It turns out RL's jet is going to Norway to pick him up and bring him here tomorrow. Whelan has given Martinez permission to hold talks with LFC - and I hope the members of the board there are stupid enough to appoint him. Martinez is not, in my humble opinion, the man for Villa. As for the stories re: Randy jetting off to collect OGS, the plane pictured in Norway and being bandied about Twitter has the wrong 'number plate' or whatever it's called on a plane so it's not Lerner's. Just the rumour mill in full swing again. Mick was yesterday's 'favourite' and Ole is today's. Wonder who tomorrow's will be? It is a done deal, it is being reported on all sports wires. Bringing Park, Anderson and Rafael (loan) with him........ Oh and mike 'crock and stale' Owen
16 May 2012 19:42:45 Wilkins was a vastly overrated player who always played the ball sideways. His success was always behind someone else. Is that the same If you can't the ball break his leg Wilkins,? yes please I love his tactics. Things always happen for a reason maybe the sacking of dalglish has come at the right time zola/clarke combo.
16 May 2012 18:33:45 He can barely speak english, wouldnt want him any where near villa park. Are you one of his friends? Thought not. Who would you want then anyone with a better club cv in world football please step forward your ignorance is unreal... Him winning the league title with each club he has managed just proves why he wouldn't join villa. Capello at villa park would be amazing i would however like to see AVB instead and Randy Lerner to give him £50 million good days back at villa park then season tickets would sell out and we would fill VP every week TV also say Fabio wants the Chelsea job and the Liverpool job as well as West brom, seems the fella just wants a pay packet, is he the man to manage Villa
16 May 2012 16:05:47 Will cost a fortune to print his name on shirts xD Would love it but we are too stupid to realise that Collins is a jcb crane and Dunne is a seaside donkey. LOL. That's one name that won't be going on the back of my Macron shirt! So its not the managers job at Villa to buy and sell players then
16 May 2012 11:48:19 Are you having a laugh! The fans wanted mcleish? Mclaren worked wonders at Forest !! (LOL) Did they win a game when he was manager ? Definately a no no, as is McCarthy and Bruce. Benitez is to much like McLeish in his approach. Let's have someone who believes in attacking football ! LOL. Nice one Bluenose. Please not Bruce not McCarthy not Curbishley no steady eddy obvious choices (for a club on the slide) Have to applaud - because your wind up is tremendously thought out. Utter tosh! How do either McCarthy or Bruce fit the requirement of finding a dynamic manager to take Villa forward and restore their fortunes and football style. Both are old school and tarnished with failure. That alone is sufficient to make an appointment as risky as appointing the last unhappy incubent. McCarthy is a good, honest bloke but does not represent a tactical step forward. Bruce is simply an idiot. If you can't even send an email, then how do you keep abreast of the latest developments in coaching. Just because the bookies are stoking the odds doesn't mean either are candidates. If either were to be appointed Lerner would hear the howls of derision from Cleveland and I for one, amongst countless thousands, will simply give up! Poyet, Lambert or even Houghton for the next Villa manager all young with good attacking football styles And each one like to pick a team with no influence from the board room, It seems they do all the buying and selling if the above post is right
16 May 2012 02:39:11 We could not afford his £85,000 p/w wages. ...or the fees for his stabling.
15 May 2012 17:52:16 Him being the bookies favourite is nothing to do with the board though... its people putting money on it. It couldn't be more obvious we aren't going to get McCarthy Don't believe everything you see and hear. Faulkner's statement today was pretty clear and he'd look rather foolish appointing McCarthy after his statement was splashed across every news site in the UK. Anyhow, the board must realise they can't afford to appoint the likes of Mick McCarthy. Faulkner stated he wants a young manager to get European football. Me being a wolves fan ,i can tell you now that MM would a bigger mistake than AM. It so won't be Mick McCarthy. Trust me, he's not even on the radar. Some bookie somewhere is looking to make a quick buck and lazy journalists lapped up the change in odds. Read nothing into it. He as been talking to randy about job ,,,believe me he could the next manager To the previous poster, he COULD be but it's most unlikely. I think you'll find McCarthy's agent made a phonecall to Faulkner. McCarthy has certainly not spoken to Randy Lerner. To me it's fairly simple. 'Mad Mick' is looking for work so his agent rings PF who may have even had the manners to speak to McCarthy personally but hopefully said thanks for your interest but we're heading in a different direction. Agent makes it sound like Villa were chasing McCarthy and, lo and behold, his name's in the papers again just as other jobs are becoming available. Yes, Villa have a habit of throwing managers at us from left field but I'd be genuinely amazed by the stupidity of giving McCarthy the job after the disaster that was McLeish. Not saying the fans' fave will come out on top but the powers that be still have to tread very carefully around the Villa faithful before their numbers dip any further. It's a make or break decision in lots of ways and we have to trust, even though we've been burnt before, that their sights are set higher than the man given the boot by Wolves.
15 May 2012 17:24:03 Sturridge is a pipe dream. Not going to happen. No way we could attract Sturridge to Villa
15 May 2012 12:25:02 Bruce is a half wit, we need someone in touch with the modern game to chart a forward tragectory. McCarthy is also a retrograde choice. There is a reason both are unemployed and we cannot get it wrong for the third time. If Rodgers can't be tempted then look to the continent, not the journeymen. Lerner will not bring in another x bluenose so steve Bruce can f**k off I say go for Ray Wilkins and AVB. Let them enhance what we have and build with experience. I've also heard that mcliesh is going back to blues o I hope it's true. If Bruce is a half wit look at the players he signed at Sunderland most of them of good quality and look what O'neill has done with his squad since he took over compare those signings to Mcleish's signings MON won three games out of 14. What is your point! How do you know who is on the shortlist?Lerner and the boardroom probably have a few names in mind. But you certainly don't know who they are, or if they rate them, or if he is going to give them money to spend.
15 May 2012 07:26:52 What a load of old toss, was at the end of season dinner at Carrow road last night, Norwich will be free of Debt come end of Next season Lambert will have a sizeable amount to get the players he wants, there will be an extra 1000 seats installed in front of Hotel raising capacity to 28000, the club will not risk any sort of mass reconstruction work untill we know we are an established side in the prem, Learner has indicated the new manager who ever it is will have to sell before he buys, Lambert is free to buy the players he wants without selling first dream on Villa He's staying put Lerner in no way has indicated that. Also, we have a hell of a lot more money than Norwich have, stop clutching at straws about Lambert, accept he may go as hes not committing. Not saying hes coming to villa, just that hes going, he has plenty of choice. No Norwich fan believes he is staying for ever, when and where he goes we wish him luck, But to go to Villa will kill off any ambition he has for his long term future in the higher echelon of football will not happen at Villa, 4 managers in 3 years says it all, Mickey Mouse club ^ I hate the way these newly promoted teams think they're amazing because they stayed up. Yes you have a good manager, too good for your club, wait until he and your best players leave, then its down to league one for Norwich. That's the difference between Norwich and Villa, that will never happen to Villa, whereas it has a good chance of happening to you. He has a point villa would be the nail in the coffin of any young manager too much risk for not enough gain, maybe when o'neil took over it was tempting, randy has lost a ton of money of late and doesnt seem to want to put it into the club.
15 May 2012 00:13:32 Hope there is something in this rumor, he's the guy who bought Demba Ba to Hoffenheim for peanuts, he saw a player in Sigurosson too. Would be a shrude move by Randy, unfortunately I can see us ending up with Dave Bassett or someone similar. I'm sure every one else will ask-who the hell is Ralf Ragnick?? Don't think they will ask that mate, ex Hoffenheim and Schalke manager. Brings in good prospects and develops talent. Like to see us get a director of football who can help get in some good players! Nope, everyone else has got google It was a rhetorical question-get a sense of humour.
14 May 2012 19:28:29 Where is the tweet couldn't see anything? Alan Curbishley is the man, why do you think he turned down the wolves, he was waiting for this to come available, ex-player who knows the club and what the fans want, we havn't got buckets of cash so he would perfect to ease us up the league to some form of respectability. God help us if Curbs comes in The board have released a statement saying there looking for a young manager. Curbishley is not the man to have. Why has he been out of work for 3 years. If he was any good he would be in work by now!!!!!! If Villa appoint Curbishley (a player who my uncle swears to this day is the worst he has seen in a villa shirt) AVFC will go down next season. WHAT !!! the worst player your uncles seen in a villa shirt, he obviouslly hasn't been down this year then.. because i can think of about 6 -7 players to beat him hands down. Curbishley comes, I cry, so much that the pitch will be water logged the entire season You could always have another protest march or 2
14 May 2012 16:58:33 I think everyone would love avb but is he a realistic target You missed out Ranieri, and at least a dozen others. Dont watch the bookies, they only want you to spend your money on what THEY say are favourite. Who says this is their short list? Where do people get to see these short list of managers, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
14 May 2012 16:52:56 He took an already good Chelsea tem to the champions league final and no offence, he had plants of time at Pompey and the hammers and knackered those clubs. A good director of football with good contacts but he is not a premier league manager. Not for Villa as he is no better than what we have just got rid of. Avram is king of getting teams relegated. west ham were shocking under him, a good team but shocking. no way do I want him anywhere near villa park
14 May 2012 16:04:20 Did you see him? i doubt it. Yes I did he was sat half way up in the visitors directors box, couldn't mistake that face anywhere.
14 May 2012 16:01:06
14 May 2012 11:51:37
14 May 2012 13:22:07 More of the same then. MEDIOCRITY! I have to ask do you support a team in Blue that play in the Championship? Is that a list of potential managers or McLeish's transfer targets???? Bruce, Mccarthy, Allardyce, Lennon or Keane. Bloody hell. Rather stick with AMC if that is what we are going to get. No better than what we got to be honest. All bloody useless. Get Martinez from wigan with your resources the good days will be back,he needs a big club and he will prove how good he is. I'm hoping to God we dont get any of those managers - that really would be a backward step. Neil lennon is a good manager and is young has won trophies and was a player under martin o'neil so thats a good thing but couldnt see him leaving martinez is the best bet for you Avb pleeeeezz Neil Lennon would be a PR disaster for the club. No thanks. Worst list of managers ever! Neil lennon is a great manger and if he gets annoyed at 1 of the refs that good brings a bit of fight to epl plus he only does it cause he is fighting for his club what is what we wont Someone Mentioned Paul Jewell he could do a job for us maybe even get top half finish AVB will never even consider us, Chelsea paid 15m to get him from Porto and paid him a hell of a lot in wages. He will manage some Dubai team who offers the big bucks.
14 May 2012 13:07:24
14 May 2012 09:40:16 AMC has gone then and now the game of "guess who we will get" starts. I hate what AMC did to this club this season but you know what? I honestly wish him all the best. He isn't a bad person, just someone who was out of his depth and I dont blame him for being offered the job of managing Villa and fair play to him for having the balls to accept, I wouldn't have in his position. He was in a no one situation. If he won six on the bounce, then we would have wanted seven wins in a row (I know I would have). This was as much Lerners fault as anyone for offering him the job in the first place. You have to back a new manager in the transfer market and Lerner tried to cut to much cost too soon - same as the economy, look where all the cost cutting has done to the country. Yes Mr Lerner, cut costs by all means but do it gradually. Back your next manager with the cash to do the job and dont ignore us fans - its us buying merchandise and turning up for games that fundamentally keeps the club going. Without us fans there is no club so be careful in your next selection of manager and dont ignore us again like last time or you will find that the crowds keep falling. Most sensible post on this site,well written and true,dec dublin villain Thanks Dec. Just wrote what I thought was true.
13 May 2012 20:24:43 Not Sven he wasnt gd enough at leicster in championship Lambert got a fantastic endorsement from the Villa faithful at Carrow Road today, and must surely by interested to move to a BIGGER club? Lambert's end of season speach today said it all for me today, Dream on Villa he's going Nowhere. Lambert going nowhere Canaries would disagree. They reckon Lambert was very subdued and that it seemed like he was saying his goodbyes. Villa a bigger club than norwich,your living in the past mate,if you were a player ,who wouldyou sign fOR!!! Ofcourse they would sign for villa wake up we can pay treble the wages than norwich in the blink of an eye, small fish club with a big fish mouth I can't see us getting someone like Lbert although he would be a good manager. Why not Alan Curbishley. Ex Villa, premier league experience, kept Charlton in the premiership for ages on a shoe string so just the sought of manager we need and I stand corrected think he is available as well. Go away Dummys, Paul Lambert is very good friends with Oneal, do you think he would advise Lambert to go to your cowboy outfit. He thinks to much of Lambert only an person out of work manager will take that Pit job on As a player I would not sign for the Canaries! I would look to the future and then sign for niether. However Villa will always be a bigger club than Norwich. Present prem. status does not mean that a club is bigger. History, Finance, ground, crowds etc all come into the recipe for success. Because Villa have a poor manager and owner, it doesn't mean that they are any less than an ever present prem. team. There are only 7! How many years have Norwich in the prem? Di matteio if he dont get chelsea job Give it time Norwich will have a stadium size that will make yours look like a Wendy house, We own our Stadium and surrounding land with view to build extra tiers on top of City stand and South Stand, but we won't do it like the Wolves we will make sure we have the team to keep us up first Norwich isn't big enough to accomodate a BIG club. Farmers have no interest in football, so where are you going to get your crowd, so why do you want to build a multi layered stand. Your road system to get to Norwich is one of the worst in the country. Have they built a dual carriageway yet? I do applaud your enthusiasm and hope that some of your dreams come true. However Villa's dreams have in the past come true and will because an owner, not Lerner , will one day put money into the club and again Villa will rise. If the prem. was cut to 12 clubs as it could be then believe me AVFC would be in there, unlike Norwich. Sorry friend, all this has to be put in the mix of "BIG CLUB." Norwich have a Catchment area of well over a million all to themselves.People of Norwich love football so no they are not all farmers.Norwich is a great city with a great nightlife etc. Villa are a big club? Give it a bloody rest you lot. Neither of us is a big club at present. Get used to it and yes I am a Villa fan. This is about AMC and if he goes who will replace him. We won't get Lambert so stop banging on like bloody kids in a play ground about who's club is bigger because neither is a big club anymore. Get back to the real issues that matter. At the end of the day Villa are stuck in the middle of several bigger clubs with no more than two hour drive from slum land sorry B-ham People say Paul Lambert would be able to get home to scotland quicker from Birmingham, Well at presant it takes 45min via Flybe direct from Norwich Airport to Glasgow and Edinborough, so thats kicked that one out the window. ^
13 May 2012 07:58:47 Young and exciting talent exactly what we need,liked the look of ince deffo could be in the ashley young mould and a big star of the future I like Ince and definitely Matty Philips, but i doubt we would go for Redmond if he plays for the blue noses. You never know if Mcleish joins us & Curtis Davies joined them (in the space of 6 months).. who knows what happens next! So why is it ok for a blues player to go to Villa but not a blues manager? I am lost for words now.
12 May 2012 17:36:22 If I was Alex Mcleish I would be looking for a new team to manage not new players. He will not be in charge come Tues morning. Poyet will be holding talks with board in the week. He wants his assistant Tarricco with him at Villa. He could start by signing rodeallga and diame on frees then resigning I love villa and have supported them for over 40 years and no one gave a bigger cheer than me when we got a point against spurs and stayed up. However I have to be honest and say, I can see Learner keeping AMC. Hope to god I'm wrong but if it's going to cost a fortune to get rid of him, then learner will hang onto him. He has had his financial fingers scorched getting rid of the previous two managers. Hope I'm wrong and I will give AMC the taxi fare home but just got a horrible feeling he won't be leaving. To the previous post, your wish will come true my friend. Your Villa will be back in good hands with a manager that wants to play fluent passing football back to front. Tuesday is your day of reckoning. I'm not sure Lerner can afford to keep him!Last season our gates were down on average 4-5000, i'd expect the gates to drop by another 5000 next season if AMC stays in charge. Plus i read somewhere that staying in the Premier League is worth about £26million so what is better for Lerner? Pay roughly £4million to get rid of McLeish or lose £30 million by the end of next season if we get relegated and the attendances continue to fall? Well, he's added quality alright: he's left! Hooray!
12 May 2012 16:07:42 Nor would I mate but he's off to Brighton if QPR relegated. Always said he would like to finish career there!! He`s passed it now
12 May 2012 01:24:41
12 May 2012 01:18:39 That be amazing Jean II Makoun has said fairly recently in interviews that he is "bulking up" to return to AVFC because he was told by GH that he was "too weak" for the prem.
12 May 2012 01:17:01 If he manages to get all them he can stay! Ayew? One of the biggest young talents in France, why would he join us? And Douglas wouldn't join if Newcastle and Arsenal are interested. Diame is useless and we will probably get him on a free.
11 May 2012 17:23:13 Look for Poyet in the stands on Sunday at Carrow Rd...is he looking for a bargain or at his new team to be?... Alex...he's behind you! Claudio ranieri itsyours
11 May 2012 15:04:31 Real ambitious signings them alex along with karl henry and the already signed brett holman championship here we come next year Holman may well prove to be a great signing IMO. He will Unlikely i have seen him playing for az he is like a headless chicken very poor mcleish is deluded he should get his p45 monday morning but knowing lerner he will give him a new contract, typical as lerner very rarely attends villa park he doesn't know whats going on at villa park more like he doesn't care lerner out mcleish out faulkner out krulak out Agree McLeish has to go but think you are way off the mark about Holman. He's industrious, creative and intelligent and could be a very useful additon for Villa.
11 May 2012 03:05:53 Get to the bookies quick...Poyet price will be dramatically slashed by 4pm Sunday. Dunk will be staying at Brighton though until court case is over. Brighton Chauffeur
10 May 2012 16:33:45 You would be better off trying to sign Yakubu cut price! Poyet being interviewed next week by Lerner and board. No 1 on there list. Hope this is true The Poyet rumour has been building McLeish isn't leaving, Lerner won't pay the compo! Fuller come on were just getting rid of one DONKEY dont suggest another and he's stoke through and through anyway If Mcliesh stays it will cost more in lost revenue,there are decease's more popular than this chap. He's not stoke through and through at all you person he's played for god knows how many teams. Furthermore he's greedy through and through, I don't want him anyway at least heskey plays for the team and cares about the club
10 may 2012 14:38:45 Sounds awesome (if true) Bent is staying!! (and IF we sold him it would have to be around £30m!) Liverpool don't need Darren Bent plus he won't sign to be a bit part player at this point in his career If only if only if only .Paul franks sports reporter on BBC WM said that learner won't pay any more contracts up as o'Neil and houllier cost him 7 mil and with mc**** that could go to 11 mil.is that a drop in the ocean though as they reckon blackpool or west ham get 90 million though the play offs .how much do villa get off the premier league ? I would think 4 million is little to lose .getting rid of heskey at 65000 a week it would. Take 16 months and even quicker with an extra 10000 people though the gates it was only 2 years ago we got 44000 every home game Paul Franks and the rest of the reporters on WM are an absolute joke, they're completely anti villa, wouldn't even surprise me if they were Birmingham fans! So many people pi--ing in the wind with stories of Lambert, Poyet etc. etc arriving at VP and getting interviews. Get real lads, cut the crap and let us all wait and see what Lerner decides to do. How do you know when he has no idea what he is doing? According to the first comment, were getting hell of a lot of strikers and getting rid of the whole defense? biggest load of bull After this season we have to dream and hold onto something.let us dream on we might have another nightmare season ahead if learner ,Faulkner ,mctwit play hardball With Premier league status comfirmed I honestly believe our manager will be here next season and complete his contract, or January at the least. but see him being given funds to strengthen the squad in the Summer, On a bright note No Bluenoses next season Just a thought but what do you think it will cost the club to sack Mcleish and get Lambert to leave Norwich, I think myself it would be very expensive like £10mil
09 May 2012 22:02:52 Liverpool should have held on to this lad. He might be worth a punt. More inspiring than the likes of Karl Henry anyhow. Ince has pace & would be what we have lacked Good player would prefer Matty Philips
09 May 2012 16:19:55 Oh my god Karl Henry lol next one will be Keith Andrews to form a dynamic midfield partnership. I dont want him either. We do need some solid ball playing defensive Midfielders. Petrov demonstrated how important the role was for us this season (and last). But if Henry is the answer we are heading downwards quickly! We had Milner and Petrov in CM and we could have Henry and Herd - Championship here we come. Why dont you buy the rest? Remember they have all been playing in a relegated team. Saying that Jarvis and O'Hara along with Henry, all for £5m could be good business. God forbid we end up with Joey Barton AND Karl Henry, although at least then we'd be sure to see some explosive action at VP! Lest we forget Jean Makoun II!
09 May 2012 15:11:30 Karl Henry will give bite at the back. If only the players that turn out for Villa every week had half as much spirit they would not have been near to relegation. Every team needs an enforcer, or even two, how many do Villa have? None. However if they could get Delph to control his aggresion there could be a couple. Sign Henry and tell him if he gets sent off or suspended he doesn't get paid. Lerner wants performance related pay and no play no pay could be his route. He's only had one red this season & that came against us. Still wouldn't want him if he was as clean as a whistle though. Cheap, sure, but then there's a reason for that.
09 May 2012 12:40:59 Why do you disagree you must be a blues fan ,do you rate AM?
09 may 2012 10:44:13 I've renewed, in fact bought an extra ticket for the father in law. A true fan would get behind the club instead of moaning about the manager. Players are to blame, and the kids not good enough And who is that is responsible for bringing the kids on ? Oh, yes, the manager ! I'm a better supporter nonsense, boycott the VILLA until the clown has gone Don't talk about being a true fan I've been a season ticket holder for 45 years. Been to every home and away game for most of that time , been all over Europe including Moscow , seen villa in the old 3rd division I have spent a fortune on my club quite often putting them before my family so don't come on here saying om not a true fan. I have earnt the right to have a go. This is the worst villa manager we have ever had, playing boring football if you were a true fan you would only want the best for the club, and if you think that is mcleish then I'm sorry your not a true fan. And when you have spent as much as I have over the years and been all over the world with the boys supporting them no matter what then and only then I'll listen to you .....aj If you have renewed then you are a part of problem, i am sorry to say that football is a different game. McLeish will never be backed by me and my mates we have worked out we know of 50 people not renewing whilst mcLeish is still there. Some of these guys are long term ST holders as well. This is nothing to do with him being from heath, we would accept hughtion with open arms Everyone's entitled to renew or to choose not to. Why does each camp have to blame the other? Each to his own. Live and let live. As we've seen this season, 'fan power' is limited in the mercenary world of modern football. I think the world of football has created a bubble around itself whcih is going to burst. The fans do not get listened to anymore, and more often than not get mocked by the media. The fans are the life and blood of the game without them the multi million contracts would not exist. Blackburn fans were proved right and they protested all season. Clubs like Swansea and Norwich are the way forward fan based family clubs with no superstars in either squad. I hope Alex mcleish ends up managing Newcastle no dig at the geordies would love to see Alan Shearers reaction to that the arrogant person

09 May 2012 06:54:41
08 May 2012 13:40:23 Well lets face you had how many consecutive 6th place finishes under O'Neill, but that squad was dismantled under cost cutting. You sound just like the media! It's nothing to do with where he came from, absolutely nothing it's his style of play (or lack of)! I, like many other fans, was prepared to give Mcleish the benefit of the doubt when he arrived although I did find his appointment strange given his Blues affiliation, his past record in the premiership and his style of play. Unfortunately, we got exactly what it said on the tin, negative style of play, reliance on the long ball and no plan B. As a consequence Villa have won fewer home games than at any time previously, we have scored a 37 goals in 37 games and we have generally been abysmal for most of the season. Now Mcleish may blame this on the players, but, as manager, he must take the fall, he's well paid to motivate these guys to produce a performance ever time they step on the pitch, blatantly he has failed dismally to do so. I would take Hughtons wife over Mcleish, you are right i dont care about the Blues at all. not really interested whether they win lose or draw. the only thing i care about is Aston Villa FC and Mcleish is not right for the club. the fans dont want him, i dont know anybody who supports the club who does. Karl henry is unbelievable what has lerner done to our club, proud history no Future "It's nothing to do with where he came from, absolutely nothing it's his style of play (or lack of)!" To the previous poster, those protests were generally very poorly supported from the off so even if what you say is true then the majority of fans didn't instantly despise McLeish just because he crossed the city divide. He was given a chance by the vast majority and blew it. End of. As for Heskey, well, most have slated him for being a strike who can't... erm strike... rather than a former blue. Get with the programme, man. We know our football and every club has a few morons who love an excuse to say 'We told you so' but the key words there are 'a few'.
08 May 2012 07:27:16 Why would Adidas sponsor us when we are signed to micon I'd prefer rename doug Ellis than trinity JML Direct? Classy! Where do you get that from ? £42.5m per season for 1 stand ? Absolute nonsense ! Etihad pay Man City £35m per season for the whole stadium naming rights, and they are a champions league club ! You say it'll be the North Stand renamed "due to fan outrage" over the Holte but how can fans be 'outraged' about something they know nothing about? 15 million squid from JML for naming rights to 1 stand doesn't sound right to me and the 42 million from Adidas for Trinity Rd is quite simply laughable. What time period are you suggesting? 25 years +? Think this rumour can be filed under 'B' for bin. The same ethihad airlines thats owned by city's owner and due to the fairplay rules coming in bunged his club a 1 billion 10 year sponsorship of the ground and kits, so they can keep spending big
07 May 2012 20:33:16 Which report is this then? So now it's Phil Scolari? Join the queue, Phil, join the queue. At this rate, the appointment of a new manager won't come until the start of the 2013-14 season because it'll take that long to interview every manager and ex-manager from here to Timbuktoo who has been 'linked' with the manager's job lately! All this before McLiesh has even gone means it's going to be a long, rumour-filled summer for the Villa faithful. Brace yourselves, folks!
07 May 2012 19:45:21 None of those are Villa players & never will be. You have to hand it to these comedy script writers, I almost burst my sides laughing at that one. None of those players good enough,we do need a new manager but not Withe I would definitely like to see Nathan Dyer at the villa,he's a really good footballer but i don't Brendan Rogers would let him go
07 May 2012 14:13:42 In what way was he brought in to keep us up? The last 4 years we finished 6th three times in a row then 9th last year. yeah we lost players but we should never have been in the relegation battle. It was a nothing season. we have no money / no investment this season as houlier / o neil spent on players (makoun etc.) so he was bought in to keep us up at least this season and push on next season. Zola at the villa, you are the most deluded person ever. He wouldn't consider coming to a second rate minor club like us. So lucky to stay up, two more games and we would have gone. Good luck to the Blues we need more local teams in the premier rather than Londoners Anyway returning to the actual question! All this BS about injurys and players sold etc! is anyone trying to tell me norwich, swansea, sunderland etc have better squads than us? not a hope. they have good managers. hes a terrible manager, plain and simple, hes a failure, and he HAS to go
07 May 2012 12:53:16 He already has new team in holland, this isnt a bad rumour this is a lie Love that to be true cant see it though He has signed up to become a boss of a dutch team next season deal done Heevereen On top of that you provide no link... i have read the paper and since your post looked through archives and there is no such story
07 May 2012 12:01:19 Low class manager He said that Comoli was apparently there as a guest, its not a rumour that he might be joining at all. It was a rumour that he might of been at the game. Damien Comolli bought Andy Carroll for £35m, Downing for £20m & Henderson for £20m.
07 May 2012 10:28:46 Agree Of course at least some of the players have to shoulder a hefty chunk of the blame. Zog was a good buy on paper at least but utterly absymal and Given's done ok. Hutton was a rubbish buy. From the existing squad, Gabby got off to a good start then lost the plot. Albrighton's been a shadow of the player we saw last season. Dunne's been inconsistent - a liability even at times. Warnock's not worth writing home about. Bent has issues in being too reliant on others and Heskey couldn't score in a brothel. I could go on but you get the point! Not all Eck's fault by any means but it'd be lunacy to keep him. That said, it was lunacy to appoint him so we just have to watch and wait. I have this awful feeling he might stay. Hope I am wrong.
07 May 2012 02:39:56
06 May 2012 19:58:58 Blue noses or Mcleish himself disagreeing with that, get hom out of our club now. We will NEVER accept him
06 may 2012 18:01:53
06 May 2012 10:44:57 Obviously you never watched Goals on Sunday, today anyone could see he is staying at Norwich so dream on Dummies Benitez would be a good appointment as long as we get someone else to oversea transfers. To the first guy, I never said he wass coming did I? I said he was the number one target, it would take a lot of persuading for him to come. Would anyone give hoddle/wilkins a shot
05 May 2012 23:05:09 Mr Bojangles knows less about football than my Grandmother. He paid £500,014 for a player from M'Boro named David Mills, then it is said, forgot to pick him for the Baggies. First half mill player! He was very good at the odd phrase eg. early doors, but actual footie, pick my Grandma!!!
05 May 2012 20:59:09 Good player, surprised he never made it at chelsea, would be healthy competition for N'zogbia. hope we are in for him, thought it does seem like an everton transfer/gamble.
05 May 2012 20:56:18 N,zogbia going no were FACT
05 May 2012 20:53:04 A 70 Year old man who hasn't managed in any other league except for italy and hasnt managed in nearly 7 years. i really doubt that There was a rumor on here a while back saying Randy Learner is good friends with Zoff, all sounds bizarre tbh, though some of these old school italian bosses seem very strict and thats no doubt what the current squad need.
05 May 2012 16:51:59 Zaha plays for crystal palace you bluenose BSer This is comedy gold
05 May 2012 02:30:23 I wish Ive heard the same Pffft we'll need more like £50m! why would he posibly want to leave a club like Norwich to go to a club like yours, O'neal would have already told him to stay clear. £30million plus player sales Lambert + 30 million would be amazing! Paul Lambert is on £5mil a year going up to 6+bonuses now we have managed to stay up, So dream as long as you like I think 30mil should sort us out Can whoever posted the last comment come and work as my accountant? $30m - $3.5m = $27.5m apparently? Glad someone listened in Maths class To the previous poster, why would we be dealing in dollars in England? Just as the poster prior to you appears to have made a typo, so have you. People in glass houses should get undressed in the basement... In reply to above, no typo, I live in a country that deals in dollars not pounds... you try and find a pound sign on this computer
04 May 2012 19:28:30 I support villa and although this will not be a transfer we expect this lad is quite good. Would be excellent for the future :)
04 May 2012 19:27:03 We better not be looking at scott Malone I Went to school with him and he defo weren't good enough to be at wolves then
03 May 2012 20:51:06 What about Mcleish?!
03 May 2012 17:11:16 Is this another twisted blue nose or havethe baggies joined in now. Talking total sense although McClown is to blame Faulkner has to share some of it, clearly the first guy is a blue nose he is boasting about being able to spell.... the only real news villa fans can trust is that we are scouting the french league but thats about it I am glad you agree. I think saying the club is only interested in Sky money is ridiculous, if that was the case they would give seats away at games. 20,000 lost customers is an almighty figure for any company to lose. Clubs make money on sponsorship deals if nobody is there to advertise to then the sponsorship advertising money goes down. Also if nobody is willing to buy merchandise then the multi million pound deal signed with Macron means sweet FA. The board have lost sight that they need to keep the fans happy first before they go around licking corporate arse, if we dont buy into the club and its ideals then they dont have a product to sell to all there corporate mates. Correct SKY makes the product This 4,000 number for ST renewals is nonsense anyhow. Renewals are round that number already with a month to go until the deadline. I don't know a single ST holder who hasn't renewed or who isn't planning to do so. Once we're safe, regardless of the managerial situation, the STs will be renewed, despite what some are saying. So go on then fill us in,How many S/Ts have you sold or expect to sell, How many club members do you have and How many fans do you have on your S/T waiting list, if sutch a list were to be found that is, You talk about getting Paul Lambert to Villa well pin your ears back, PL is Mr Norwich he built what we have, what he wants he gets, 22'000 S/Ts already sold out, 1.800 on waiting list, 10,000 ordinary club members 8000 super members, we could fill a stadium of 50.000 with just Norwich fans, It is evident that most of your fans are nothing more than Glory Hunters and only attend when nthings are going well for you, I am old enough to remember when you went down to the 3rd division in the late 60's Villa park was like a grave on match days, much the same as todays crowds, yet when we went down we were still getting 25.000+, last season it was 26000 even when we are on sky, the stadium is still full to the rafters, in short we may not be the biggest club but the fans are the most loyal the club is expanding the stadium but we are doing it a couple of thousand seats at a time, not like the likes of you and Wolves. the fans at Norwich appreciate what we have and we support the club through thick and thin and turn up in all weathers and don't stay at home when Murdock sends in his Camera's, Like I said who would want to leave that to go to a club like you You numpty! when villa were in the third division we were gettin g record crowds of 48000.
03 May 2012 16:20:19 I Really hope you are wrong! How much money will be spent in the summer? Be bored to death ,down next year if not this ,how can Randy be so thick GET AM OUT You can't even spell! go away blue nose! You work within the club yet spell McLeish's name wrong, absolute codswallop. That is 25 ST renewals they have lost, that i know of 100% Mcleish is gonna resign he's family were at the Bolton game and they was on the end of some viscous abuse from fans and obviousley Mcleish was and in a press conference they asked him if he's future is at the club and he said im getting the games out the way im not thinking of my future if he was staying he would of said im staying no questions asked but he never expect him to resign the day after the Norwich game AM is a good manager, the problem is the owner who is worse than Ellis!! Just because a person has a little problem like spelling,don't give anyone the right to call them names, Look Harry Rednapp, he is, in his own words Thick, he can't write, but look what he's doing for a living, It might come as a shock to you Shakespear couldn't spell either, he always dictated his work and had it read and proofed by the publishing company. What you need to do is get rid of Grant look as his record, West ham down Norwich suffered with him Birmingham down, Get Worthington in to work on the coaching.
02 May 2012 22:29:10 Lerner would not sacrifice more fans to a disliked manager. I would take Mick over Mcleish anyday!
02 May 2012 20:51:03 Well we at Birmingham City think he's done a fantastic job for US - you,not that bad in the Chumpionship, you will be well suited to it loads of empty grounds Thats such a shame, because we won't be relegated and you won't be promoted so stop typing with your six fingers and concentrate on your season before Hughton leaves for the Baggies. You have to love the blue noses, they are so wrapped up in the Villa and hating us, that they never get around to supporting there own team. Small Heath is your real name is it not? You forgot the Harriers bit Well played tonight, Small Heath! Oops, can't buy players for a while? Gaffer off to the Baggies? Down, down, deeper and down, as the song goes! Enjoy another year in the fizzy pop league.
01 May 2012 22:46:45 I just want McLeish OUT that is the only news i want to hear about from VP
01 May 2012 22:41:48 Neil lennons coming to villa............rubbish,who wants him,dont u know that if celtic or rangers or any other scottish team were in the premier league,they be relegated first season,and lennon knows that too,big difference between spl and premier league...........post sensible comments,or go post on the bluenoses page Now now... the guy didn't say he wanted Lennon. He just offered you the odds on him being the next manager and at least 2 bookies are offering 9-1 on it.
01 May 2012 21:58:39 Ill drive him down myself if you come in for him I'm willing to drive him/carry him there myself! Want hutton too on a buy-one-get-one-free? Heskey is out of contract so it would be his choice so id think you'd be the favorites I will do his medical!! What do i think of Heskey going to leciester on a free couldn't you of signed him last season or even the season before one of the most boring players to watch in the game can't wait to be rid of him
01 May 2012 03:19:07 Rubbish Or the next bosko balaban? Bosko Balaban absolute quality, unfortunately not at playing football though ;-)
01 May 2012 03:11:54 The way we look and play at the moment, the only Brazilian we will get at V Park is the wax type! No point in McLeish scouting - the job won't be his in 2 weeks time!
01 May 2012 01:31:32 Garrido is good friends with Stephen Ireland, not a bad player, maybe it's a ploy to keep Ireland happy at villa park as he was rumored to be trying for a move. You wouldn't sign a player on 20k+ a week just to keep another player happy
01 May 2012 01:24:06 Think Heurtaux might be heading to Spain? I remember seeing him linked to us and Blackpool last season, wouldn't be surprised if the other player on trial is M'Baye Niang as he's been linked for a while now, exciting player apparently. M'Baye Niang is a class youngster and would be a great talent for us to develop. He could be the new french 'Drogba' if he develops right Stop playing football manager
30 apr 2012 18:57:21
30 Apr 2012 11:45:23 If this is the case then season ticket sales will fall drastically and even if we survive this year it will be nothing but a temporary reprieve. He can't cut it, his record speaks for itself Sorry but BS! Mc leish is gone like last years snow......FACT AVFCinsider? Because you would be told that...absolute rubbish.
30 Apr 2012 07:50:52 £4.5 million a year would make him one of the top paid managers in the world, McLeish is rumoured to be on about £2 million a year i can't see them paying the next manager over double! Norwich fan here, If you do get Martinez it can only be good for the Villa I wish you luck, But you might have a fight on your hands with getting Mosess, are you expecting a new lot fans to warrent seat increase, I have always thought with your position geographically I mean, with all those clubs close to you is it not something of a risk, Where as in our case we only have them at Poorman road, being 40 mile away. so no contest, Not blowing Trumpets but we have yet again sold out of season tickets 22000, and only have 27000 seats and we are planning to expand, hope we can both enjoy a few years of friendly banter, I must disagree with the Villa fan who thinks that we will pay off McCleish to pay Martinez twice as much and then spend 40m on new players in order to finish 10th! This is real pie in the sky. We have gone through cut backs for a reason, its pointless to make losses in order to achieve nothing. In reference to the Norwich fan we will not be expanding our stadium until we reach certain heights. There are, however, two million people living within just 10 miles or so of Villa park whereas Norwich is quite a small city in a lowly populated county. Norwich are really well supported by their community and always have been (league 1 attendances of around 20k is great). You may well see growing crowds for a while but expectations change and people will be less happy watching Norwich struggle in the Premiership as the years go on. PS - enjoy your party Norwich and lets hope travelling Villa fans can enjoy a drink with you
29 Apr 2012 19:53:46 Utter tripe, I doubt any journalists would read this website so why not tell us. Or are you just a bookie trying to get us to put money on Poyet. And how do you know they are talking about it, do they just converse with you, are you a journalist, or just a compulsive liar? If u read the post person and have the brain capacity to read between the lines, you will see that I maybe in the industry. I hope you are not a journalist with grammar and diction such as that!
29 Apr 2012 14:38:35 I dunno how to feel on this one..... hes good at linking up play half the time and cant hit a barn door. But I cant help feel for the guy since he left liverpool, hes just never been the same.... Heskey the signing, that was the millstone round MONs neck. Who needs Messi when you've got Emile Heskey?
29 Apr 2012 13:07:57 Coventry City had a brown kit in the mid 70's, if this is true can imagine it having a real retro feel, kinda like the current spurs kit, sounds alright actually!
29 Apr 2012 13:01:37 Diame has been linked with villa a lot over recent seasons and we could defiantly do with a defensive mid fielder What ever anyone says Villa are a big club Hodgson can not do big clubs as proven at liverpool,a manager has to fit the club!I hope Rodgers ,Lambert ,dont suffer next year ,Martinez started it all at swasea he could be the right man But people forget the success Hoddle had tiny blip at wolves could be great has style and no,s how the game should be played,sometimes the extra bit of experience counts Martinez is a decent manager but we definitely have to at least enquire about Paul Lambert. The board would get the best of both worlds. He can get the best out of Players, wouldnt be on a massive wage, wouldnt spend too much to get a decent team together but we would also win games. Anyone who says he wouldnt come to us is a joker aswell. Villa are bigger then Norwich. If we got hoddle in it would be a joke. He did alright at wolves years ago. He wouldnt be any good now Quote Shearer best manager worked with (HODDLE)
28 Apr 2012 18:54:19 I'd prefer nigel adkins,brendan rodgers,paul lambert,kevin mcdonald,gary mcallister,andre villas-boas. Which journalist/s is this then? I live in Sussex and I have not seen or heard a word.......lately. Some weeks ago there was talk. Poyet or Hodgson for me id love Lambert as well
26 Apr 2012 17:30:28 I can't see Stevie leaving tbh he seems settled now Can easily see Ireland shipping out. Not convinced it'd be to Man U though. Ireland hasn't performed well enough to go to united and has only performed for us on a handful of games he's going no where as he's on 80k a week and on that current run of form can you see any team matching those wages for him to leave Villa, EXACTLY! He's on 60k a week i don't know where you have got 80k from Are you the player or his agent? How can you state that he is not on 80k? Whoever wrote this should seriously get a grip on reality Because no one is on over 65k at Villa that's the wage cap Ireland goin to NY Red Bulls...Ballack interview a few weeks back about goin there, said he couldnt because Red Bulls big wage player was already signed and was Stephen Ireland
26 Apr 2012 17:03:16 Not with Liverpool interested he wont be. Yeh, 2.5m to Villa, King Kenny will pay 7m. Liverpool will be in the same financial position as Villa in a few years Spent loads of wonga on average players
26 Apr 2012 15:48:08 Don't talk crap Paul Lambert won't come here he has what every manager wants, and thats a club with ambition magnificent fans 22.000 Season tickets are sold again before close of first deadline, yet again they sell out to home crowds of 26 800 they only hold 27000, and I know a lot of Norwich fans and they tell me Paul Lambert has just signed an improved contract. Yes they know Lambert will leave, but not yet a while, the club has a 7 year plan he has completed the plan 5 years in advance so where can the club go now, if they stay up next season they will increase seating to 35-40,000 Paul Lambert is loved in Norwich and he loves them, so I think unless we offer him Megga bucks to come then forget it Lambert left Colchester after they thrashed Norwich 7-1 so stranger things have happened. Villa are a much bigger club than Norwich end of, he would get paid more, have better players and a big task that no manager who wants to b top should shirk. Lambert take the villa job, get them playing again, get yourself a top job now. The best managers don't settle for teams punching above their weight Clever ploy to unsettle lambert as we playing his team last day of the season but Mcleish shall be kept on !!! If Norwich thrash Villa 7-1 send Villa down LAMBERT Stays at Norwich end of,as well as that he won't want to come to Dummy land How the hell is Villa a bigger club than Norwich,?you might have a load more seats (empty) than we do, you don't run a club on History, Norwich are a team for the future, bring plenty of tissue's on the `13th may you will need them, its a long way back to the championsip, but at least you will have afew local derbies to look forward to So if ipswich was above you in the league would you turn around and say they were a bigger club then norwich??......... i don't think so! yes norwich have been playing far better then villa (even though villa did beat you) but just because you finished above us this season it doesn't make norwich a bigger club then villa. Suprised you managed to type that message with webbed hands. Going back to the original forgettin comment Hodgson is a great manager with pedegree I would like to give your nan a go! Who's with me? Lmao!! glad i'm not the only one ed. Well, think we can rule Hodgson out of the running now that he's set to be interviewed tomorrow for the England job.
26 Apr 2012 14:15:47 No your not! i believe he could be on his way to Newcastle Will he want to play in the championship then ? I doubt it. Villa will stay up and newcastle wont qualify for champs league
26 Apr 2012 13:31:33 Nobody worth their salt is going to agree a deal with Villa over Utd. In fact, nobody worth their salt is going to agree a deal with Villa until Villa are mathematically safe in the prem. Norwich fan here, we never win our first or last match of the season, If by giving you the points keeps you up and QPR down I'll be happy with that But this season it will be different goodby Vile United wont want him
26 Apr 2012 04:16:40 Would love it but heard nothing of it.
26 Apr 2012 04:08:03
25 Apr 2012 20:33:06 Would like to believe this one but I can't. Poyet was widely reported to have turned down Wolves before their relegation became inevitable so I doubt he'd agree to join Aston Villa - & definitely not until safety is confirmed anyhow. Gus Poyet's said himself he'll go nowhere unless a 'top' club came calling & then he'd have to give it some thought. Sadly, Aston Villa's not a 'top' club at present. I would love to see villa go down,im a newcastle fan and i will never forget when relagated at your place,the joy on your faces,look at us now loooooool,loving it xxx Well you are talking of a small majority there matey. I was there that day Newcastle got relegated and I was laughing - so fair play. Kisses in messages are very creepy! Unless its your wife! Why is a Magpies fan's wife sending you kisses? Eh? Oooh. {Ed001's Note - the kisses were obviously for me, it's only natural mate, after all those Lynx Effect ads are just based on my life..... And if you believe that, you will believe anything!!} OK make it Ed 007 then you ol' charmer! I'd sooner believe Messi's en route to B6 than that the Lynx ads were based on you, you smelly git! {Ed001's Note - well yes, Ed007 is far from possessing the Lynx Effect, he is just old and miserable. Myself, on the other hand, well they say no one is perfect, and I am the exception that proves the rule!} Relegating New Castle made me a very happy Villa fan and ranked with sending Blues and Cov down. If only we could also do it to Blackburn and one day Stoke City. Perfection.

25 Apr 2012 10:39:57 BS! Jordan Rhodes is signing for a premiership club,so that rules your joke of a club out ! How do you know who he's signing for? Are you his agent?
23 Apr 2012 16:19:16 Heskey's running annual wages is £3m. Dreary me - Ed poor show - Heskey is out of contract in summer so we wont have to pay anything to get rid of him. Not having a go - but its been pretty widely reported. And I thought the whole idea of this was that you are in the know. {Ed001's Note - of player's contracts? I don't keep the info to hand, I have resources available to look it up, but I am busy and don't have time to look it up. As for widely reported, so much crap is widely reported that I never listen or read reports any more. They will talk about players being out of contract that have years left.} Gabby will stay unless told he's being sold, Kello hasn't been offered a contract yet so how you came to the conclusion that he's definitely signing i'll never know... Beye is gone, makoun will be gone & gabby + n'zog are STAYING! Kelo has had several pre contract talks with villa just waiting to see us stay up expect to see him signed or Gilks if relegated
22 Apr 2012 19:24:12 Sat here with 10 ST holders (family gathering) not one of us would renew until his contract ends. McLeish OUT Thanks Ed and no Im not a hater, I just wanna see what signings he makes and how next season goes before judging him like an executioner Seen enough this season to make my mind up the guys who sit around me at VP out of i would say 25 one is renewing. The rest are not until McLeish is sacked I've renewed. Silly numbers like only 4,00 season ticket renewals coming out of the rumour mill. Okay, McLeish clearly isn't the man for us but I'm VIlla 'til I die. Well put! I dont knnow where that figure is from but the average gates are down 4000 this season. 4000 lost customers how many more will it be next season Not quite 4,000 down on the average gate from average last season - was on average 3,297 up to (and including) Stoke game. If gates fall again next season, I'd say more of the drop will be due to lack of casual sales rather than season ticket sales. Either way, good football will sell tickets, regardless of the manager, and fans deserve better than they've been 'treated' to this season. Onwards and upwards. Things can only get better... Or maybe not: lashing rain here at Villa Park and no Stephen Ireland in the 18. King Carlos captaining the lightweight side. Hobson's choice or what? Wah! K tonights performance was terrible we scored and conceded two. I have changed my mind McClueless has to go. Swing the axe learner swing ye old axe.
20 Apr 2012 19:38:41 Wow, do you mackems believe everything you read in the gutter newspapers.... I think we should get a manager who we show our support to for at least 4 seasons. McCleish was an odd choice and may well have to go. However Villa fans.... WE MUST allow the new manager some slack, we need to cut our wages and re-build this will lead to below par performances for at least another year. If we get 12m for Gabby sell 5-6 others and bring in some new players then okay lets just be realistic and calm. Its all very well going bankrupt to finish 6th but its pointless really. Forget petty rivalries, allow other clubs to overspend to finish at the other end of mid-table - we need a long term strategy ! The man himself keeps saying he wants to stay at Villa for his whole career and he is Villa through and through. Settled happily in Birmingham where he was born and bred and where he is going to soon captain the team he loves! rubbish rumour! McLeish is a calamity I would snap the hand off any club who offers 12m for him Mcleish & agbonlahor has stated he is staying for at least 10 years more. 10 years so your saying a 36 year old winger are you kidding he will be gone in in the summer he is too good for fighting relagation battles year in year out bye bye gabby To the person above..... What part of he want's to finish his contract (Which is at least 3 years) at villa don't you understand? and that's without any extension thats if villa and gabby obviously wish to do so! Gabby isn't good enough for Villa he should be sold No hes gd enough, just out of position most the time and has inconsitent form Firstly Gabby is one of our best players week in week out he just struggles with goals, he wants to stay at villa for his whole career. Gabby is a striker if he doesn't score goals he is good enough he is no where near being one of our best players
20 Apr 2012 17:17:57 Where did you hear about Moyes taking over at Villa? So when do you think Mcleish will leave? Let's look at this... Can you not see Lerner is trying to cut back so he can start over again. MON screwed Villa massively with his buys and wages Lerner got Big Eck in to work on nothing as he has done before. A new manager in the summer and get a decent lump of money ^^^ Moyes has been at Everton for 10 years he celebrated it recently when everton visited anfield a few weeks back
20 Apr 2012 11:32:36 Total agee with you, Ehiogu says we have missed bent i dont think he would have scored with AM tactics also not many injured at the start of season Well he hasnt gone and will still be there come august when the new season starts
20 Apr 2012 02:00:58 There is no way gohuri and ethuhu are gd enough for villa. As for wilkshire I think hutton is way better and would be a waste of the limited money we will have
