what would we do with him exactly? pay him insane money and sit him on the bench on the off chance bent gets injured? Alright fair do's. Just like what we are going to do to get Ancelotti; pay him peanuts obviously. hmmmm

I know it's too early to be talking about transfers...But IF we were to get Ancelotti, do you think he could persuade Anelka to come to the Villa? What would people think of that? He's already been told by Chelsea that he is surplus to requirements?

Unreal, the three candidates that I wouldn't want out of the long list for the Villa job are top three favourites. Benitez @ 4/5 , McClaren @ 5/2 and Martinez at 3/1. God help me!! Moyes,Jol,Huges or Ancelotti I would be happy with.

He'd certainly pick it up easily. God, the guy makes me feel angry even talking about him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9AwIVNFF-o sums him up!!

thats funny.....McClaren....NO!!!

MatKendrick Mat Kendrick There's so much #avfc anti-McClaren feeling lately, my baby daughter refuses to go in her buggy and my dad's stopped watching Formula 1! MatKendrick Mat Kendrick I get the impression most fans would prefer the chap who celebrated with Dalian/Deano at Wimbledon to remain #avfc most famous brolley bloke MatKendrick Mat Kendrick Former England boss and Villa royalty Graham Taylor has been talking up Steve McClaren's credentials for #avfc job recently.

Not liking these odds one bit! Either theres real substance to why McClaren odds have dropped or some stupid gamblers have got more money than sense and backing the clown...... Mark Hughes 2/1 Steve McClaren 5/2 Roberto Martinez 4/1 Rafa Benitez 5/1 Carlo Ancelotti 5/1 David Moyes 10/1 Martin Jol 10/1 Gary McAllister 20/1 Kevin Macdonald 25/1 Walter Smith 25/1 Alan Curbishley 25/1 Louis Van Gaal 28/1 Steve Bruce 28/1 Slaven Bilic 33/1 Gianfranco Zola 33/1 Frank Rijkaard 33/1 Jurgen Klinnsmann 33/1

Hhahahaa. But It corrects you and says did you mean 'Steve McClaren is a **** shit manager!" Brilliant!!

It's not impressive if you're managing Ajax (or PSV) - Martin Jol It is impressive if you're managing FC Twente - Steve McClaren McClaren beat Jol to the Dutch title with a much smaller club. You gotta give credit where credit is due. hahaha...that way very good.

I could turn round now and say that Fabio Capello has told Ashley Young, Bent, and Downing on international duty that he has been asked by Randy if he wants to take the Villa job on a rolling 12 month contract and I'm sure some ridiculous media source would pick it up and go with it. (Talksport, Daily Sport and The Mirror being the likely front runners)...Anything to fill a page!!

Yes apparently.

Is that just your assumption...no source.

Same. If Ancelotti isn't gonna come, I want to know soon so I can be put out of my misery. If he is gonna come to us, then hurry up. Patience!!

I mentioned this a while ago and naturally the press linked him to us before Houllier was dismissed. Good manager, but had a shocking season at Ath Madrid. Could be worth an enquiry.

Yawn....................

er, NO!! But well done. Are you Darren? Are you Marcus

er, NO!! But well done.

lol. God, we need some news don't we. BIG TIME!! We need a sign made up in the Villa merchandise shop with a picture of McClaren standing in the rain waiting for a TAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI.... and with RANDYpulling up as the driver saying....NO WORRIES SCCCHHHHHHHHHHHTEVE....This one's on me!!

That comment is bound to raise a few eyebrows!! Taxi for diehardvillan ....... I thought it was pretty good that. You kind of walked into that one!! Not bad, not bad! Don't you mean I slept-walked into it, though? 8) Oh dear!!! TAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI for Villaandloyal

How do you know that? Did you witness it? I've been told that Faulkner is Poyets cousin...Just a family lunch I believe. I did witness it.....i went because i had a strong rumour ANCELOTTI was there i waited 35mins and poyet of all people was laughing with faulkner i think he may have a ass mgr role?? maybe ANCELOTTI's number two? Interesting. Who knows. All speculation. We shall find out in 7-10 days no doubt.

I still don't think we should discount Moyes. I think this has a long way to go, but a lot of news will be flying around all next week to keep us fans excited. I still think regardless of media speculation that Moyes is very much in Randy's top two of listed targets. Just a hunch. His odd's have moved to 6-1 with skybet. But I agree McClaren's odds worry me. But, I don't think we have anything to worry about. Randy isn't that foolish unless the stories that he and McClaren are friends are true.......It may be that, McClaren has still close contacts in Holland and Randy occassionally likes to smoke....DA REEFA!! LOL

I doubt the players have a clue who it'll be. I know. Just what a thought. As I said, It has been a quiet day and I thought people may find it interesting.
