Where was Carlo when the Italian newspaper spoke to him?

betfair market is open all the time http://sports.betfair.com/Index.do?mi=102917120&ex=1&origin=MRL I don't think I've ever seen so many numpties in one thread before. Thank god I don't live in Brum.

Well if these people are ITK they aren't interested in making any money out of it because there's been no significant movement in the betfair market.

Guys, it would be great if we could keep this on topic and pertinent instead of posting endless amount of guff. Thanks.

Things I've learned today: [x] How to track private jets. [x] What a calling sign is. [x] Corsica is a rock owned by the French. [ ] who the next Villa manager will be.

Yes, how do we know he went to Corsica? Corsica is the favored holiday destinations for Italians.

Randy sent him a letter about a week (or 9 days ago) we knew this anyway.

What about checking the arrivals at major airports? If his departure his listed on BHX would his arrival be listed at say Madrid?

Doesn't show up in the search but doesn't show planes that are landed. I'm just checking the earlier radar from this morning.

If anyone knows the calling sign for his jet you can track/stalk him here http://www.flightradar24.com/

Seriously!!!!!!!!! Please tell me that's true. If he needs a lift, I'll drive him. Another quote. Need I go on? Hardly a ringing endorsement of a club legend.

YES YES YES YES...... Come On Villa, take the useless pillock. £3m compo and Mark Hughes as replacement, BRING IT ON. I'm sure despite what Whelan says, he knows if Bobs good enough. He's sat through 6, 7, 8 & 9 goal humiliations with him in charge, I'm positive he would " be sad to see him leave." lol Another quote from a Wigan fan.

Martinez cannot manage Villa to finish higher than last year and would not last a season Quote from a Wigan fan.

Nice guy: Fergie - No : Winner Yes Nice guy: Martinez - Yes : Winner No I hope this helps.

Sounds like Randy is after a YES man. No wonder he wouldn't entertain Rafa. Do people think Martinez would work for Villa? He likes continental style very slow build up from the back. No offense but we have a very uncultured/neanderthal fanbase. I can just imagine the Holte going mad because we weren't going forward quick enough, he even used to get this at Swansea. He's also been on the end of some severe beatings which at Wigan maybe acceptable but at Villa it's a definite no-no. Whilst I have no doubt he is a very dignified man who goes about things the right way, he's never won anything as a player or a manager. I like the idea of building a dynasty but not sure RM is the man for the job.

Got to agree re: conspiracy theorists. All this nonsense about us giving duff info to put people off the scent is more than a little far fetched, it's bordering on the delusional. I know MM referenced smoke and mirrors but I think what he actually means is potential red herrings. I.e. we are talking to the lesser managers but still pursuing our main targets.

I'd rather have Mcalren too. Steve Bruce done a great job with Wigan. Martinez almost got them relegated !! Again I've must have missed these matches where Wigan have been playing like Barca. Media stereotype because Martinez is Spanish? I think so.

Martinez? The board need to watch the video in my signature.

The only betting market you need to take notice of is betfair. None of the others especially not Sky Bet !! Betfair odds are live 24/7 and move with info. Oh, and the bookies close their books at night for a very good reason! They don't want to be mugged at in the middle of the night if something happens!

Yes they give the impression that he's going to to be given the job with the hype etc but that's to get people watching. If you look at the facts though they say we sounded him, we talked initially then we decided not to take it any further atm. Even MM said we'd have been mad NOT to speak to him. Why don't people want to believe this?

We did approach Rafa. Fahct. Can someone sort the forum out btw?

But remember he has to reduce the wage bill.

Came from Rafa's people.

Sounds like he wasn't happy with the budget offered , which means we don't have much money to spend.
