A brilliant well thought out statement from Ulver. I don't think anyone on the current board have the Nous to appoint a really good manager, by that I mean someone who would need prising away from a club and persuading to come to Aston Villa. McLeish is, quite plainly and simple the wrong man to appoint ... my predication is that he lasts less than a season ... and this will ultimately see the beginning of the end of Randy Lerner too. All this stuff about I'm only the custodian of the club it belongs to the fans rubbish Lerner spouted on his arrival has now well & truly been tarnished and forgotten about by him. Sad days ahead for my club ... the club I supported well before Randy Lerner became owner .. and still my club long after he's gone !

Situation vacant... who do you want as the new Villa manager
Gadzooks replied to TrentVilla's topic in Villa Talk
Agreed, crazy claim, i cant believe he believed his mate who text him! A mate, who quite frankly couldn't give a toss who Villa get as manager sent me this message ... I would imagine an enquiry was lodged at a bookies to see if they would accept this level of money and what the odds were should he have his bet accepted ! Owen Coyle .. 24 hours ago was rated on some sites at 75/1 and goes to 3/1 (5/2) very quickly .... somebody either has some knowledge or has too much money ! -

I posted what I'd heard in good faith at the time ... and whilst I'm not privvy to whether we are actually interested in Owen Coyle or not there IS movement in the marketplace ! Bets of this nature require authorisation at the very top level before being accepted ! and news is filtering out about it now ! Recent comment ..... karenfaz Karen Fazackerley Silly season indeed - Owen Coyle down from 75/1 to 2/1 for the #Villa job in the past hour??!! http://bit.ly/dz58Yd #Bolton -

which bookies ? I would imagine at that value it was done online ... but just checking the odds on Owen Coyle and there does seem a lot of movement ! -

Someone I know in the Betting Marketplace has just e mialed me to say that a client has just placed £365k on Owen Coyle as the New Villa manager ! No ITK knowledge just a word from a friend in the betting industry ! -

I can tell you that La Stampa ... most definitely re hased a very old interview with Ancelotti and that the comments reported yesterday are not from a curent interview. Sky Sports News jumped on the story via thier Italian counterpart Sky Italia and there is nothing from either La Stampa or Sky Italia in todays copy ... surely if they'd had such an "exclusive" this would have run for a few more days ? yet the coverage in Italy has disappeared just as quickly as it arrived ! -

I was convinced by someone I trust that Ancelotti was going to be announced this week ! Hence this mornings post on here. I was also told that the comments from the Italian "rag" (La Stampa, in Italy they have all the authenticity of the Daily Mirror) about him wanting 6 months off and studying colleagues working methods have been re hashed from a previous interview given sometime ago - and they've also been duplicitous reports as to whether we've been in touch or not, so apologies for coming over as another crap ITK - it wasn't my intention & I think I'll now leave it to folk who have more information than I do ! -

I really really hope your genuine and not some jumped up pleb trying to get a reaction! :winkold: I ain't no jumped up pleb ! I've waited for before making this information public.. I usually check my information with MM first but he's no longer around ! -

Same source that told me over a week ago ... I don't think he's here yet (as some reports suggest) but he'll be here this week and signed as manager by Friday ! -

Carlo Ancelotti IS the next manager of Aston Villa ! If you can still get a bet on him ... fill yer boots ! -

You know you've just opened the floodgates to another 20 pages of speculation today!! Where have you heard this? Too right what's the story Gadzooks? I am just reporting what I've been told from a someone I know who works at a top european betting agency ! They have been told to suspend betting on Ancelotti as Villa manager until further notice .. I perhaps in hindsight shouldn't have posted & tried to change the message ... I'm not here to get slagged off for sharing what I hear ! Oh well ....... -

Carlos Cuellar is referring to Rafa Nadal (not benitez) in that Tweet ! -

Mark Hughes is damn close to signing a 3 year deal at Fulham ! and I mean very very close. Look for the story on Sky Sports that David Moyes has rejected Aston Villa ... and you'll notice the story has now been pulled ! Why ? well I leave you to your own conclusions ... London press ... still majorly peeved that a local brummie journo got the scoop and they didn't are linking Hughes like mad at the moment ... question is ... why isn't the man (Kendrick) who broke 2 AV exclusives this week also doing so ..? Because he isn't joining Aston Villa as the next manager thats why ! -
Ermmm ... its all very delicate ! I think you'll find the lack of information from ITK's is deafening ! I tend check what I've heard with MM as I don't think at this stage its worth putting details on here. What percentage chance do you think Moyes will come? I wouldn't like to comment further at this stage !

CI .. I think barring his health problems you'd probably be right ! I just hope for a swift announcment - hopefully pre the Liverpool game - or straight after at the latest !
-
Yeah .. strike Hughes's name from list of potential replacements .. Hope I don't hear the same unequivocal statement from Moyes !
-
Slightly off topic but if Chelski want the best out of Torres then they'll hire Benitez ... in truth this is the job he's probably holding out for.

Wrong! If you watched Lambert's interview on Soccer Saturday, he mentioned that he rings up MON for advice on management so I'd say their is a pretty strong friendship. Not that i'd think it'd have an impact on Paul coming to Villa or not, as i'm pretty sure he's his own man and would meet Randy himself before making a judgement.
-
There. Fixed it for you. Cheers John ... Just gotta send O'Neill to Colchester and its proper fixed !
-
I don't think there's necessarily a friendshp between Lambert and O'Neill ... I just think their management careers have followed the same paths - in fact having both managed Wycombe and Norwich, lamberts natural next managers job is at Villa !
-
Shoody., thats an awesome XI as you say its never gonna happen ! Westwood's been terrific for Cov this season and would definitely be worth a shout !
-
Sadly, Can't see it being Moyes.... a good few Coventry fans are saying that their keeper Westwood is going to Goodison on a freebie ! He wouldn't be signing players for Everton if if was planning to leave !
-
David Moyes all day long for me .... after watching another turgid performance by our players I watched Evertons game against Citeh and that encapsulates exactly what I want from my Villa team .... City were all over em 1st half and it took a half time rollicking from Moyes and a tactical switch in players positions & Everton steamed into em 2nd half & got their rewards ... Will Everton challenge for a Champs league spot again ? No probably not - but do Everton - under Moyes send there fans home with a smile on their faces most weeks ... hell yeah ! Forget about the Champs league - its hallowed land that we're not destined (or set up) for ! Lets get a manager in and let him mould his own team of players who will give their all for the Aston Villa cause .
-
Yep ... David Moyes all day long for me ..... Come on Randy ... Make it happen !
